Question 1

Is HyprWin free and open source?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 2

Does HyprWin work on Windows 10?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

Will HyprWin conflict with other window managers?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

Can I use my existing Hyprland config?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 5

Does HyprWin require admin privileges?

Accepted Answer

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