Is HyprWin free and open source?

Yes! HyprWin is completely free and open source under the MIT License. You can use it, modify it, and redistribute it freely.

Does HyprWin work on Windows 10?

HyprWin targets Windows 10/11 x64 (Build 22621+) with .NET 8. While primarily developed and tested on Windows 11, many features work on Windows 10 as well.

Will HyprWin conflict with other window managers?

HyprWin replaces the default taskbar and manages all window tiling. It's recommended to disable or uninstall other tiling window managers (like FancyZones, Komorebi, etc.) before using HyprWin.

Can I use my existing Hyprland config?

HyprWin uses a TOML-based config inspired by Hyprland's syntax. While not a direct 1:1 port, the concepts (keybinds, window rules, animations, bezier curves) map closely. Migration is straightforward.

Does HyprWin require admin privileges?

No. HyprWin runs as a standard user application. Hardware monitoring (CPU/GPU temperatures) works best with admin privileges but degrades gracefully without them.

Everything you need

A complete window management experience — from tiling layouts to system monitoring, all configurable with a single TOML file.

Interactive Mouse Tiling

Full mouse parity with Hyprland. Hold SUPER + Left Click to drag and swap windows dynamically, or hold SUPER + Right Click to interactively resize BSP splits in real time.

Dwindle & Master Layouts

Toggle between Binary Space Partitioning (dwindle) and Master/Stack layout on the fly with SUPER+SPACE. Configurable master ratio and responsive multi-window stacking.

Special Workspace / Scratchpad

Dedicated overlay scratchpad workspace. Toggle instant access with SUPER+S or move your active window to the scratchpad with SUPER+SHIFT+S for distraction-free workflows.

Gradient Borders & Dimming

Rotating multi-color gradient window borders with configurable angle and rotation speed. Automatic inactive window dimming (inactive opacity) for enhanced visual focus.

IPC Server & hyprwinctl CLI

Hyprland-compatible Named Pipe IPC server (\\.\pipe\hyprwin-ipc) with the hyprwinctl CLI tool. Automate window management, integrate Stream Decks, and query active states.

BSP Tiling Engine

Intelligent Binary Space Partitioning with automatic aspect-ratio-based splitting, ratio preservation, inner/outer gaps, and DeferWindowPos batch rendering for zero lag.

Smooth Animations

Frame-synced animations with slide, popin, and fade styles. 8 built-in easing functions plus custom cubic bezier curves. Configurable durations for open, close, and move events.

Full Keybinding System

System-wide low-level keyboard hook with SUPER key suppression. Focus, move, swap, and manage windows entirely from the keyboard. All bindings fully customizable in TOML.

TOML Configuration

Hyprland-compatible TOML config with live hot-reloading. Configure layouts, animations, keybinds, window rules, theme colors, and bezier curves — all without restarting.

Window Rules Engine

Regex-based matching by process name, class, or title. Force float, fullscreen, workspace assignment, opacity, custom borders, pinning, and more — per-window.

Custom Top Bar

Full taskbar replacement with workspace indicators, clock, system tray, CPU/GPU/RAM usage, volume, and media controls. Configurable modules, position, height, and font.

Elevated Autostart & Reliability

Native Windows Task Scheduler integration for reliable elevated launch on boot without UAC popups. Smart close escalation with IsHungAppWindow protection.

Gaming Mode

Auto-detects fullscreen games and activates performance mode. Suspends animations and border rendering, reduces polling frequency — zero micro-stutters during gaming.

Laptop & Touchpad Support

3- or 4-finger swipe gestures for workspace switching via Windows Precision Touchpad raw HID input. Battery module and brightness control via DDC/CI.

Settings GUI Window

Visual configuration editor for general settings, layout, theme presets, top bar, animations, gaming mode, and exclusions. All changes applied instantly.
