ArchWiki / Hyprlock

Hyprlock is Hyprland's screen locker. It is highly customizable.

Configuration is done through the hyprlock.conf file in ~/.config/hypr.

Hyprlock does not generate a configuration file on installation, and will not run without one.

Hyprlock works on a widget-based system. Widgets can be created with the following format:

widget {
  property = value
  ...
}

~/.config/hypr/hyprlock.conf

As many of these can be put in the hyprlock.conf file as desired. For example:

label {
  ...
}
label {
  ...
}
input-field {
  ...
}

~/.config/hypr/hyprlock.conf

The background of Hyprlock:

background {
  monitor = # monitor-agnostic
  path = ~/Pictures/mountain.jpg
  blur_passes = 1
  blur_size = 7
}

~/.config/hypr/hyprlock.conf

An input field for the password:

input-field {
  monitor =
  size = 20%, 5%
  font_family = Noto Sans
  dots_size = 0.08
}

~/.config/hypr/hyprlock.conf

A label that displays the time:

label {
  monitor =
  text = $TIME
  font_size = 100
  position = 0, -80
}

~/.config/hypr/hyprlock.conf

The $TIME that comes after text can be substituted for any other text, $USER, $FAIL, and $TIME12, among others.
