Configuring monitors in Hyprland means writing monitor= lines by hand, doing coordinate math for scales and offsets, and reloading until the positions look right. Unplug your laptop, go to a conference, and you're editing config files backstage before your talk. I wrote hyprmoncfg to fix this. It's a terminal-based spatial editor where you drag monitors on a canvas and see real-time updates. What it does: Spatial layout editor with drag-and-drop and edge snapping Per-monitor inspector (mode, scale, VRR, transform, mirroring) Named profiles: save "desk", "conference", "projector", switch instantly Hardware identity matching (follows make/model/serial, not DP-1/DP-2) Hotplug daemon that auto-applies the best matching profile Workspace planner (sequential, interleave, or manual) Safe apply with 10-second automatic revert Source-chain verification: refuses to write if Hyprland isn't sourcing the file Works over SSH when your monitor config is broken and you can't see anything One runtime dependency: Hyprland. Two compiled Go binaries. No Python, no GTK, no GObject, no D-Bus. AUR: yay -S hyprmoncfg Docs: https://hyprmoncfg.dev GitHub: [https://github.com/crmne/hyprmoncfg] (https://github.com/crmne/hyprmoncfg) Blog post: https://paolino.me/hyprmoncfg-monitor-configuration-for-hyprland/ Happy to hear feedback. This is my first Hyprland tool. I built it because I kept doing coordinate math at conferences or struggling with bugs in other tools.
