Xwrits reminds you to take wrist breaks for prevention or management of repetitive stress injuries. When you should take a break, it pops up an X window, the warning window. You click on the warning window, then take a break. The window changes appearance while you take the break. It changes again when your break is over. Then you just resume typing. Xwrits hides itself until you should take another break.

Rofi is a minimalist application launcher. It memorizes which applications you regularly use and also allows you to search for an application by name.

If arguments are given, xtitle outputs the title of each specified window, otherwise it outputs the title of the active window. With snoop mode on, it continuously monitors the specified windows and outputs when titles change.

kbdd is a simple keyboard layout switching program, which is designed to run in an X11 session and remember keyboard layouts on a per-window basis. That can be very handy for a user of a non-US keyboard who does not want to jump through layouts back and forth while typing in terminals (mostly in a latin alphabet) and some kind of chat (in native language).

kbdd also supports D-Bus signals, which makes it possible to create layout indicator widgets.

Scrot saves a screenshot of a full screen, a window or a part of the screen selected by mouse.

Unclutter is a program which runs permanently in the background of an X11 session. It checks on the X11 pointer (cursor) position every few seconds, and when it finds it has not moved (and no buttons are pressed on the mouse, and the cursor is not in the root window) it creates a small sub-window as a child of the window the cursor is in. The new window installs a cursor of size 1x1 but a mask of all 0, i.e. an invisible cursor. This allows you to see all the text in an xterm or xedit, for example. The human factors crowd would agree it should make things less distracting.

Xeyes is a demo program for x.org. It shows eyes following the mouse.

slop (Select Operation) is a tool that queries for a selection from a user and prints the region to stdout. It grabs the mouse and turns it into a crosshair, lets the user click and drag to make a selection (or click on a window) while drawing a pretty box around it, then finally prints the selection's dimensions to stdout.

ydotool is a Linux command-line tool that simulates keyboard input, mouse actions, etc. programmatically or manually.

Wmctrl interacts with an X window manager that is compatible with the EWMH/NetWM specification. It can query the window manager for information, and request for certain window management actions (resize and move windows, switch between desktops, etc.).

xftwidth is a small C program for calculating the pixel widths of displayed text using Xft fonts. It is especially useful in scripts for displaying text in graphical panels, menus, popups, and notification windows generated using dzen. These scripts are often used in conjunction with minimalistic tiling window managers such as herbstluftwm and bspwm.

Tint2 is a simple task bar made for modern X window managers. It was specifically made for Openbox but it should also work with other window managers (GNOME, KDE, XFCE etc.).

The taskbar includes transparency and color settings for the font, icons, border, and background. It also supports multihead setups, customized mouse actions, a built-in clock, a battery monitor and a system tray.

xcalib is a tiny tool to load the content of vcgt-Tags in ICC profiles to the video card's gamma ramp. It does work with most video card drivers except the generic VESA driver. Alter brightness, contrast, RGB, and invert colors on a specific display/screen.

XForms is a graphical user interface toolkit for X based on the X11 Xlib library. It allows you to create windows, containing all kinds of widgets (buttons, sliders, browsers, menus etc.) with a few lines of code and then attach actions to the widgets, i.e., have some function called when a button is pressed. To make this even easier XForms comes with a program called fdesign that allows you to design a GUI for a program directly on the screen and which then writes out the necessary C code for it.

Aquamarine is a C++-only Linux rendering backend library. It provides basic abstractions for an application to render on a Wayland session (in a window) or a native DRM session. It is agnostic of the rendering API (Vulkan / OpenGL).

This package provides on-screen keyboard for wlroots compositors with the following features:

• Typing, modifier locking, layout switching

• Positive visual feedback on key presses

• On-the-fly layout and keymap switching

• Custom color schemes

• International layouts (cyrillic, arabic)

• Emoji support

• Compose key for character variants (e.g. diacritics)

• Show/hide keyboard on signals (SIGUSR1 = hide, SIGUSR2 = show, SIGRTMIN = toggle)

• Automatic portrait/landscape detection and subsequent layout switching

xiccd provides color profile support for desktop environments other than GNOME and KDE. It does the following tasks:

• Enumerates displays and register them in colord.

• Creates default ICC profiles based on EDID data.

• Applies ICC profiles provided by colord.

• Maintains user's private ICC storage directory.

XLockMore is a classic screen locker and screen saver for the X Window System.

numlockx is a tiny program that lets you turn on the numlock key in X11. It can be called from the user's initialization files to automatically turn it on on login.

Pyperclip is a clipboard module for Python, handling copy/pasting from the X11 clipboard

The xxkb program is a keyboard layout switcher and indicator. Unlike the programs that reload keyboard maps and use their own hot-keys, xxkb is a simple GUI for XKB (X KeyBoard extension) and just sends commands to and accepts events from XKB. That means that it will work with the existing setup of your X Server without any modifications.

Xkeysnail is an X environment keyboard remapping tool, featuring high-level and flexible remapping mechanisms. It affects the low-level layers (evdev and uinput), making remapping work in almost all the places.

CopyQ is clipboard manager with editing and scripting features. CopyQ monitors system clipboard and saves its content in customized tabs. Saved clipboard can be later copied and pasted directly into any application.

This is a small utility to provide a blue light filter for your system. This method is preferred to screen shaders as it will not be captured via recording / screenshots.

hyprsunset also provides a gamma filter, which can be used to adjust perceived display brightness on monitors that do not support software control, or to reduce percieved brightness below the monitor's minimum.
