Hyprland Discord Presence

Hyprland Discord Presence is a lightweight daemon that updates your Discord Rich Presence based on the currently active window in Hyprland (a dynamic tiling Wayland compositor). It provides real-time window tracking and can be optionally run in a streaming mode.

Features

• ✅ Automatic Window Tracking – Updates your Discord status based on active windows.
• ✅ Efficient Event Listener – Uses Hyprland's IPC socket instead of brute-force polling.
• ✅ Debounced Updates – Reduces unnecessary Discord API calls.
• ✅ NixOS-Friendly – Easily deployable as a NixOS systemd service.
• ✅ Optional Streaming Mode – Use --use-stream-window flag to enable real-time tracking.
