As we informed you back in late June, Hyprland, a nimble Wayland compositor known for dynamic tiling, slick animations, and high‑refresh‑rate friendliness, shared plans to roll out a paid subscription with some extra perks for users. Well, that moment has arrived—Hyprperks is officially live.
It’s a new membership program offering exclusive benefits for supporters, aiming to fund ongoing development while giving back to the community with premium perks.
For €5 per month (plus tax), Hyprperks members get:
- Exclusive forum access, including direct Q&As with the devs and personalized support from Vaxry (Hyprland lead developer).
- A premium desktop experience—preconfigured dotfiles with one-click installation and updates, perfect for users who want a polished setup without the hassle.
- The satisfaction of supporting Hyprland’s future development, ensuring the project keeps evolving.
There’s one thing that’s really important to understand—as you can tell from the list above, these are just extra perks which has nothing to do with Hyprland’s functionalities.
So if anyone’s worried that certain features might get locked behind a paywall, there’s no need. Hyprland is still completely free and open source, just like it’s always been.
In conclusion, I think Hyprperks is a fair and thoughtful initiative. It’s a great way to support ongoing development of a project that’s already shown—through its explosive popularity—that it offers something genuinely valuable to the Linux community.
