Hypridle

ID-01 // IDLE MANAGER

Hypridle monitors user activity and triggers actions after periods of inactivity. It works with Hyprlock and Hyprland’s DPMS to manage power saving.

Configuration

Config lives at ~/.config/hypr/hypridle.conf.

Timeout Chain

After	Action	On Resume
2.5 minutes	Dim screen to 30% brightness	Restore brightness
2.5 minutes + 1s	Lock screen (hyprlock)	—
5.5 minutes	Turn off display (DPMS), disable keyboard backlight	Turn on display, restore backlight

Suspend after 15 minutes is available but disabled by default (commented out in config).

Key Bindings

Shortcut	Action
Super + Ctrl + I	Toggle idle tracking on/off

The idle status indicator in Waybar shows whether tracking is active.

Customization

Edit ~/.config/hypr/hypridle.conf to change timeout durations or actions. To enable suspend:

# Uncomment the suspend listener in hypridle.conf
listener {
    timeout = 900
    on-timeout = loginctl suspend
}
