Notifications

Note

Looking for the old hyprlang syntax? Check the 0.54 wiki pages. Since Hyprland 0.55, hyprlang is deprecated in favor of lua.

This page describes Hyprland’s built-in lightweight notifications.

Note

Hyprland’s built-in notifications are not meant to handle your system notifications. They are much simpler, text-only popups in the corner of your monitor.

Lua

In lua, notifications are exposed via the hl.notification module.

Functions

  • hl.notification.create({ text, duration, icon?, color?, font_size? }) → HL.Notification → Push a notification
  • hl.notification.get() → Get a table of all active notifications as HL.Notification objects

Hyprctl

From hyprctl, you can create a notification with the hyprctl notify command:

hyprctl notify [ICON] [TIME_MS] [COLOR] [MESSAGE]
