nwg-displays is a GTK-based GUI utility for managing display outputs on the sway, Hyprland, and Niri Wayland compositors. It lets users arrange monitors, apply settings, and persist output and workspace-to-output configuration to text files.

Use cases

  • configure multiple monitors on sway with a GUI
  • arrange displays in Hyprland without editing config files
  • save monitor layout to monitors.conf
  • assign workspaces to specific outputs
  • manage display settings on Niri
  • handle output names that change on restart with generic names

When to choose

  • you use sway, Hyprland, or Niri and want a graphical display configuration tool
  • you frequently change monitor setups and want to save layouts
  • you want workspace-to-output assignments generated automatically

When to avoid

  • you use a different Wayland compositor or X11
  • you prefer editing compositor config files manually
  • you need display management on a headless server
