Quickshell
QML system sidebar with weather, network, calendar, brightness, volume and notifications.
Rofi
Application launcher, window switcher and menus — all with unified themes.
superfile
A fast, fully configurable TUI file manager with dedicated keybindings.
btop
System monitor with real-time CPU, memory, network and processes.
hyprlock
Lock screen integrated with the Hyprland ecosystem and a synchronized theme.
gnarus-storage
Rust-powered removable storage module for the Waybar bar.
Themes
Eight families, one system
A shared accent-color system that unifies GTK, terminals, rofi, dunst, Waybar and Hyprland itself.
