Hyprland

Phantomat is a Hyprland plugin that replaces workspaces with a zoomable, infinite 2D canvas for windows. Windows can be placed freely, while linked monitors show adjacent parts of the same canvas and move together. It supports Wayland and X11 applications, including games running under Wine and Proton. The plugin provides a zoomed-out navigation view with title- and app-name search, camera movement to matching windows, recent-window switching, panning, zooming, window movement and resizing, minimap navigation, grid arrangement, undo and redo, fullscreen and screen-fill modes, and optional pinned windows. It remembers window positions and camera state across restarts and includes a live tuner for lens distortion, blur, grid, parallax, HUD, colors, and related settings. Phantomat is distributed as source code under the BSD 3-Clause license. It requires Hyprland 0.56 or newer, Lua configuration support, GCC 15 or newer, and Hyprland development files; the plugin must be rebuilt after a Hyprland update. It was formerly called Spatial Overview, so its configuration files and commands retain that name. The project began as a fork of hyprland-scroll-overview and is described as less tested outside its Omarchy, Hyprland, NVIDIA, and two-monitor development setup.

DEsk is a beta Wayland desktop environment for Linux built on wlroots. It presents the desktop as a realistic skeuomorphic desk: application windows appear as paper sheets that can be folded or discarded, the dock is a drawer, applications are organized in binders on a bookshelf, notifications arrive in a post box, and system controls are built into the desk. It includes a compositor, session manager, launcher, notification centre, lock screen, settings application, calendar, memo pad, multi-monitor support, Xwayland support, and standard desktop integrations. The room is ray-traced with GLES 3 on the GPU when available, with a CPU renderer and a 2D fallback for systems without suitable graphics support. DEsk can be installed as a login session on Debian, Ubuntu, Arch Linux, Fedora and derivatives, or built with Meson; its installers can also install the recommended desktop programs. The project is distributed under the MIT license and is described as an early release with expected rough edges and ongoing changes.

Amane is a Rust library and CLI for building Wayland desktop shells such as bars, panels, and launchers in plain Rust. Shell code lives in a configurable Rust source file, and `amane dev` builds, starts, and rebuilds the shell on saves while keeping the previous shell running if a build fails; separate commands compile, run, and clean the build output. It provides layout, widgets, input, animation, and built-in services for audio, network, Bluetooth, notifications, and workspaces. Amane requires a Wayland compositor supporting wlr-layer-shell, such as niri, Hyprland, or Sway, and is described by its repository as early and experimental.

Athanor is an MIT-licensed alchemical desktop layer for Arch Linux and Hyprland. It configures seven dungeon-themed workspaces, a roguelike status bar that displays the current workspace as a dungeon level, free disk space as gold, battery as HP, and minutes since boot, plus crash notifications with tombstones. Its bar calculates the planetary hour from the machine's sunrise and sunset and associates each hour with a Golden Dawn tarot trump. It provides four color schemes based on stages of the alchemical Magnum Opus, with an optional setting that changes schemes as the sun moves through the day. It also supplies themes for Helix, Micro, Neovim, and Lualine, and uses two-tone Floyd–Steinberg-dithered Doré engravings as workspace wallpapers. The installer places files in ~/.config/athanor and can install the shell command, prompt, fonts, or an optional Hyprland plugin that displays window titles in borders. Commands include athanor transmute for changing color schemes, athanor draw 3 for a three-card spread, athanor tomb for a crash tombstone, and athanor doctor for installation checks.

omasnap is a native Wayland screenshot and annotation editor for Omarchy and Hyprland. It captures freeform regions, windows, or full monitors by first recording the focused monitor before mapping its exclusive layer-shell editor, preserving native pixels on scaled displays. Window captures are crops of that monitor frame, so overlapping windows remain visible. The editor stores annotations as movable and resizable vector layers. It supports arrows, lines, freehand and highlighter strokes, rectangles, ellipses, numbered markers, editable text, redaction, colors, undo and redo, canvas growth and recropping, cut-band removal, mesh-gradient or window-style backdrops, and drop shadows. It can perform whole-image or region OCR, display the recognized text beside the image, copy it to the clipboard, open clipboard images, and pin finished captures as always-on-top surfaces across workspaces. Working documents use a source image and sidecar JSON operation log under the user runtime directory, allowing undo after a crash or file reopen. Saving and copying produce flattened PNG files or clipboard output, with screenshots stored under ~/Pictures/Screenshots by default; a recents shelf retains the last five captures with their editable layers.
