Open source / Hyprland

Voidline

Hyprland manages the windows. Voidline is building the shell around them: one connected place for the controls, panels, settings, and system moments that make a desktop feel complete.

0.3.0dev

Public development preview. Available to test on Arch Linux with Hyprland, but not yet intended as a production-stable shell.

The window manager stays.
The shell fills the gaps.

Voidline is not a replacement for Hyprland. It is the connected desktop experience around it: bar, panels, settings, notifications, session controls, lock screen, and supporting tools.

Why it exists

A desktop shell instead of a collection of unrelated parts.

Voidline brings the everyday surfaces around Hyprland into one project, one interaction language, and one place to keep improving.

Designed for

Everyday desktop use

Common controls stay close, readable, and visually connected instead of being hidden across separate utilities.

Built in the open

Inspectable and adaptable

The source and development release are public so people can test the direction, inspect the implementation, and report issues.

Built as a system.
Not a pile of parts.

The current development build connects its most visible surfaces through three layers: quick access, the wider system experience, and the native tools beneath both.

01

Quick access

The parts of the desktop you reach for throughout the day.

  • Desktop bar and adaptive panels
  • Action Center and quick settings
  • Notifications and system tray
02

System experience

Core screens designed to feel like they belong together.

  • Unified settings application
  • Lock screen and session controls
  • Matching SDDM login theme
03

Native foundation

Supporting tools for control, performance, and future growth.

  • Rust backend and voidlinectl
  • Native Rust terminal
  • English, German, and Polish locales

Settings that belong
to the same world.

Navigation, controls, and system information follow the same visual rules as the rest of Voidline instead of feeling like a separate utility.

Related controls are grouped into familiar categories.

02Consistent surfaces

Cards, controls, and spacing follow the same rules across the shell.

03Useful system context

Important device information stays easy to scan.

come together.
