Description

Automates idle-time actions for Wayland sessions, such as dimming, locking, suspending, or triggering commands after inactivity. It is important for lightweight Sway-style desktops that do not provide a full power-management panel by default.

Idle rules can lock the screen, suspend the machine, or interrupt long tasks. Test timeouts and commands before relying on them during work or presentations.
