Overview

fnott is a keyboard driven and lightweight notification daemon for wlroots-based Wayland compositors, implementing (parts of) the Desktop Notification Specification.

fnott is the daemon part and should be launched when you log in to your desktop. You should be able to configure your Wayland compositor to autolaunch it for you.

With the daemon running, you will be able to receive and display notifications:

Use fnottctl(1) to interact with it:

Or simply click on a notification to dismiss it.

Notifications are prioritized in the following way:

•

urgency - normal notifications always have higher priority than low-urgency notifications, and critical notifications always have higher priority than normal notifications.

•

time - older notifications have higher priority than newer notifications.

Notifications are displayed with the lowest priority ones at the top, and the highest priority ones at the bottom (this is subject to change).
