A collection of simple yet configurable OSD daemons that use Freedesktop notifications to display various information about your system.
Taken with mako as a notification daemon and IBM Plex font.
These commands will allow you to try the daemons without installing anything globally; Likely, you want to somehow install this on your system after this. How you do it depends on your setup and preferences.
nix shell git+https://code.balsoft.ru/balsoft/simple-osd-daemons
to get all daemons. Add #$DAEMON
to only get $DAEMON
. If you don't use nix 3 yet, try nix-shell https://code.balsoft.ru/balsoft/simple-osd-daemons/archive/master.tar.gz -A defaultPackage.x86_64-linux
cargo build
You can also build individual daemons with cargo build --bin simple-osd-$DAEMON
.
Run the daemons you need. At this moment, none of them accept any arguments.
simple-osd-daemons
follows XDG Basedir specification: configuration will be written to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/simple-osd/
, typically ~/.config/simple-osd/
. Each daemon has a separate configuration file in INI format, and there is also a common
configuration file. On startup, the daemons will create their configuration files and populate them with default values if they don't exist.

on the fly- Bluetooth daemon doesn't actually work, since blurz doesn't allow to get the list of connected devices
- Need to figure out icons
