A TUI tool for visually configuring monitor layouts in Hyprland with drag-and-drop, profiles, and real-time application.
HyprMon is a terminal user interface (TUI) tool for configuring monitors on Arch Linux systems running the Hyprland Wayland compositor. It provides a visual 'desk map' where users can arrange monitors interactively with keyboard and mouse controls, applying changes in real-time to Hyprland. The tool solves the problem of manually editing complex configuration files for multi-monitor setups.
Arch Linux users who run the Hyprland window manager and need to manage multi-monitor configurations, especially those seeking a visual alternative to editing hyprland.conf manually.
Developers choose HyprMon for its intuitive visual interface that simplifies monitor arrangement, its support for advanced display features like HDR and VRR, and its profile system for quickly switching between different setups—all without leaving the terminal.

Enables drag-and-drop monitor arrangement with snapping guides, eliminating the need to manually calculate positions in hyprland.conf.
Offers settings for resolution, refresh rate, HDR, VRR, and color depth through an interactive dialog, accessible via keyboard shortcuts.
Supports saving configurations as profiles with command-line access, allowing quick switches bound to Hyprland keybindings for different setups.
Creates automatic timestamped backups before config changes and provides rollback options, ensuring safe experimentation with monitor layouts.
Tied specifically to Hyprland on Arch Linux or Nix, with no support for other window managers or distributions, limiting its applicability.
Depends on terminals with SGR mouse support and may need additional setup like tmux mouse mode, which can hinder usability in some environments.
Lacks features like alignment menus and auto-switching on hotplug, as admitted in the future features list, reducing functionality for advanced users.
