SwayNotificationCenter is a GTK-based notification daemon with a control center GUI for Wayland compositors supporting wlr_layer_shell_unstable_v1, such as Sway and other wlroots-based compositors. It provides grouped notifications, keyboard shortcuts, notification inhibition, scripting hooks, and extensive CSS-based theming.
Use cases
- show desktop notifications on sway or a wlroots wayland compositor
- get a notification center panel for wayland
- replace mako or dunst with a GTK notification daemon
- group and manage notifications on linux
- run scripts when notifications arrive
- inhibit notifications during screen sharing or focus
When to choose
- you use Sway, Hyprland, or another wlroots-based Wayland compositor
- you want a full notification center with grouped history, not just toasts
- you want CSS theming and configurable widgets
- you need per-notification scripting hooks
When to avoid
- you are on X11 or a non-wlroots Wayland compositor without layer-shell support
- you rely on third-party GTK3 themes, which are unsupported
- you want a minimal daemon without a GUI control center
