Works on Sway.\n\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg src=\"https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/25582bd6-bd3b-4bb3-b248-87fa7f88e967\" alt=\"mako screenshot\"\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\nmako implements the [FreeDesktop Notifications Specification][spec].\n\nFeel free to join the IRC channel: [#emersion on irc.libera.chat][irc].\n\n## Running\n\n\n`mako` will run automatically when a notification is emitted. This happens via\nD-Bus activation, so you don't really need to explicitly start it up (this also\nallows delaying its startup time and speed up system startup).\n\nIf you have several notification daemons installed though, you might want to\nexplicitly start this one. Some ways of achieving this is:\n\n- If you're using Sway you can start mako on launch by putting `exec mako` in\n  your configuration file.\n\n- If you are not using systemd, you might need to manually start a dbus user\n  session: `dbus-daemon --session --address=unix:path=$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/bus`\n\n## Configuration\n\n`mako` can be extensively configured and customized - feel free to read more\nusing the command `man 5 mako`\n\nFor control of mako during runtime, `makoctl` can be used; see `man makoctl`\n\n## Building\n\nInstall dependencies:\n\n* meson (build-time dependency)\n* wayland\n* pango\n* cairo\n* systemd, elogind or [basu] (for the sd-bus library)\n* gdk-pixbuf (optional, for icons support)\n* dbus (runtime dependency, user-session support is required)\n* scdoc (optional, for man pages)\n\nThen run:\n\n```shell\nmeson build\nninja -C build\nbuild/mako\n```\n\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg src=\"https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/4b32fef6-61d9-4ad1-8820-d4e5a245a76c\" width=\"512\" alt=\"mako\"\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\n## I have a question!\n\nSee the [faq section in the wiki](https://github.com/emersion/mako/wiki/Frequently-asked-questions).\n\n## License\n\nMIT\n\n[irc]: https://web.libera.chat/gamja/#emersion\n[spec]: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/notification-spec/latest/\n[basu]: https://github.com/emersion/basu\n","funding_links":[],"categories":["C","Tools","Wayland Tools","Notifications Daemon","Notifications","Linux","Tool"],"sub_categories":["Notifications","Utilities","Interfaces","Other","Mesh networks","Desktop Extension Tool"],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Femersion%2Fmako","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Femersion%2Fmako","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Femersion%2Fmako/lists"}
