Description

Workspace startup and layout restoration can be described declaratively for the niri Wayland compositor. It is useful for users who want their preferred applications and window arrangement to return predictably after login.

This is a helper for a specific compositor, not a general session manager. It changes startup behavior, so review the configured commands before enabling it in a daily desktop session.

How to run

Commands: niri-autostart
