wayprompt

Wayprompt is a multi-purpose (password-)prompt tool for Wayland. Also has a TUI fallback mode for when no wayland connection can be established, like when invoked while using a TTY.

Requires the compositor to support the layershell.

Wayprompt ships multiple executables:

• wayprompt: CLI prompt tool.
• pinentry-wayprompt: drop-in pinentry replacement, for example for gpg.

All executables use the same configuration file, read wayprompt.5 for details.

To use pinentry-wayprompt with gpg, you need to configure gpg-agent (read gpg-agent.1). Its configuration file is commonly found at ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf. Inside this file, add the following line (actual path to executable will depend on installation method):

pinentry-program ~/.local/bin/pinentry-wayprompt

Building

Wayprompt is developed against zig version 0.11.0 and depends on lib-wayland, xkbcommon and pixman.
