Swayidle inhibitor that automatically detects audio / video and will prevent your system from sleeping. No manual intervention needed!

The main function of this project is to keep any sway based WM from going into an idle state when consuming media. Swaddle will monitor the dbus running daemon and based on values it sees in Playback Status will correctly cause idling or inhibition.

• dirs: Config setup
• config: Config building
• dbus: Interfacing with the D-Bus.
• env_logger: Better log handling
• toml: For creating config file
• serde: To serialize toml

Swaddle can be installed from the AUR:

paru -S swaddle

• Clone the repo and execute

  just build_release

• You can move the binary into your $PATH or run directly

To get some debugging logging from swaddle you can set the log level to debug and execute

To integrate swaddle with Sway/Hyprland, add the following line to your Sway/Hypr configuration:

• Sway:

# Swaddle configuration
exec_always --no-startup-id /usr/local/bin/swaddle &

• Hyprland:

# Swaddle configuration
exec = /usr/local/bin/swaddle &

Then reload your configuration or restart Sway/Hyprland.

The first time swaddle is run it will create a config file under $HOME/.config/swaddle/config.toml.

You can also create / overwrite the config with the following options
