README
A modular Hyprland desktop built on one Quickshell shell.
Eight themes, a plugin platform, and a live map of what your GPU is doing.
Themes · Install · Keybindings · Documentation · Plugins
What you get
- One shell for the whole desktop. Bar, notch, launcher, notifications, lock screen, settings and Command Center, all in Quickshell. The screenshots use the Signal line skin: Settings > Bar > Signal line.
- Eight themes, switched live. Or generate one from any wallpaper. No rebuild, no relogin.
- Plugins for everything extra. AI chat, agent tracking, dev tools and desktop pets install and remove on a running desktop.
- A resource map that negotiates. Flow shows which workloads fight over GPU memory and offers a fix. It never kills anything on its own.
- Profiles you opt into. Developer, Gaming, AI and Security layers sit on a minimal or full base.

Workspace plane: a full-screen surface a plugin can claim, here replaying an agent run step by step
Themes
Eight themes ship with Aphotic, and aphotic theme download adds community ones. Switch with Super + , / .,
or build your own from any wallpaper in Settings > Theme Creator.
Every theme, same desktop

Install
Aphotic needs an Arch/AUR base. Plain Arch, Omarchy and EndeavourOS (Desktop Environment: None) are tested.
git clone https://github.com/T-Crypt/Aphotic-Hypr.git
cd Aphotic-Hypr
./install.sh
The installer makes the Aphotic greeter your login screen and keeps sddm
installed as the way back. Pass --keep-sddm to stay on sddm. Omarchy keeps
its own login.
Add --dry-run to see every change first; it runs before any sudo prompt
or write. Update with aphotic update, remove with ./uninstall.sh.
Every flag, profile and backup detail is in the Installation guide.
