Sirula

Sirula (simple rust launcher) is an app launcher for wayland. Currently, the only feature is launching apps from .desktop files. Feel free to submit pull requests for any feature you like.

I wrote sirula partially to learn rust, so do not expect perfect rust code. I'd be happy to hear any criticism of my code.

Examples

sample-config/a:

sample-config/e: Overlay in the center of the screen with some simple CSS animations.

Building

• Dependency: gtk-layer-shell
• Build: cargo build --release
  • Optionally, strip the binary to reduce size
• Alternatively, install with cargo install --path .
• There is also an unofficial AUR package

Configuration

Use config.toml and style.css in your .config/sirula directory. See sample-config for documentation.

Launching

Simply run sirula.

Daemon mode

! Latest git only !

Run sirula with --daemon to start the daemon. To show the window, simply run sirula again or use --toggle to toggle the window.

sirula --reload will reload all desktop, config and styling files.

See --help for more options.
