TLDR: HyprDynamicMonitors is an event-driven service with an interactive TUI that automatically manages Hyprland monitor configurations based on connected displays, power state, and lid state. It’s gotten a bunch of useful quality-of-life improvements over the last month.

Hey!

After a successful release in this post, I’ve been working with the community on overall dev experience and UX improvements. The latest release includes:

A complete revamp of the documentation, hosted on hyprdynamicmonitors.filipmikina.com, with search functionality

Support for lid events, so you can write profiles depending on laptop lid state (e.g., disable a monitor when the lid is closed)

Bundled systemd service definition with AUR/Nix releases, so you can just run systemctl --user enable --now hyprdynamicmonitors

NixOS support in the flake for both home-manager and a standard module

Color profile management with an upstream contribution to Hyprland (still waiting for a release for proper integration)

Support for flips in the TUI (useful for mirrors, e.g., using a projector)

Templates now support many more variables, such as ExtraMonitors, RequiredMonitors, and forward several static monitor properties from hyprctl

From the user perspective:

hyprdynamicmonitors will now create a default configuration and infer your power line if you want to use --disable-power-events=false

On desktops, lid and power events are disabled by default since they’re unneeded (can be enabled if needed)

The TUI uses half-blocks now, making it a bit cleaner

Monitors auto-fit to the preview pane, and there’s also a keybind to fit them after any changes

Monitor edges and centers snap to other monitor centers

Misc:

There was a first external contribution that fixed # escaping in monitor descriptions

It’s being discussed as one of the viable options for bundling with omarchy

It’s gotten over 1k downloads to date
