README
Hyprlauncher 
[](https://github.com/The-Grindhouse/guidelines)
An unofficial [daemon-like](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daemon_(computing)) GUI for launching applications, built with GTK4 and Rust. 🚀🦀
## Preview
## Usage
> [!TIP]
> For optimal performance, bind Hyprlauncher to a keyboard shortcut instead of launching it from a terminal. While the initial launch takes a moment to daemonize, subsequent launches are near-instant (~28-30ms).
Example Hyprland config bind:
```conf
bind = $mainMod_SHIFT, E, exec, hyprlauncher
```
## Configuration
For configuration options and customization, see [configuration.md](configuration.md).
The configuration file is located at `~/.config/hyprlauncher/config.toml`
Changes to the configuration file are applied instantly without needing to restart.
## Installation
[](https://repology.org/project/hyprlauncher/versions)
### Requirements
- GTK4
- GTK4-Layer-Shell
- Pango
### GitHub Releases
See Hyprlauncher's [releases page](https://github.com/hyprutils/hyprlauncher/releases) for downloadable binaries.
### Arch Linux
There are 2 different [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org) packages available:
- [hyprlauncher](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hyprlauncher) - Latest release built from source
- [hyprlauncher-bin](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hyprlauncher-bin) - Latest release in binary form
Install the preferred package with:
```bash
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/.git
cd
makepkg -si
```
Or, if you're using an [AUR Helper](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AUR_helpers), it's even simpler (using [paru](https://github.com/Morganamilo/paru) as an example):
```bash
paru -S
```
## Building from source
1. Install Rust (preferably `rustup`) through your distro's package or [the official script](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install)
2. Clone this repository:
`git clone https://github.com/hyprutils/hyprlauncher && cd hyprlauncher`
3. Compile the app with `cargo build --release` or run it directly with `cargo run --release`
