DDS

Dynamic Discord Rich Presence for Hyprland and COSMIC (Wayland). Automatically updates your Discord status based on the active window.

---

Features

• Dynamic status — builds your Discord Rich Presence live from the active window (class → name, title → details). No need to list every app.
• Browser support — automatically cleans browser tab titles (strips - Mozilla Firefox style suffixes, extracts domains from bare URLs, replaces "New Tab" with the app name).
• Any application works out of the box; only minimal optional config
• Lightweight and fast (Rust + Wayland events)
• Works on Hyprland (via ddsh) and COSMIC (via ddsc)

Installation and Run

Quick install (recommended)

git clone https://github.com/Veridian-Zenith/DDS.git
cd DDS
./scripts/install.sh --release --hyprland   # or --cosmic, or --all
systemctl --user daemon-reload
systemctl --user enable --now discord-monitor-hyprland.service  # or discord-monitor-cosmic.service

Options:

• --hyprland — install ddsh only
• --cosmic — install ddsc only
• --all — install both (default if no flag given)
• --release — build in release mode (omit for debug)

This installs the binary and a systemd user service that auto-launches the status app whenever Discord is running, and stops it when Discord closes. It restarts automatically if Discord is reopened.

Manual run (no service)

cargo run --release -p ddsh   # Hyprland
cargo run --release -p ddsc   # COSMIC

AUR (Arch Linux)

Hyprland (ddsh):

yay -S ddsh-bin    # pre-built binary
yay -S ddsh-git    # builds from latest commit

COSMIC (ddsc):

yay -S ddsc-bin    # pre-built binary
yay -S ddsc-git    # builds from latest commit

Configuration

The config file is stored in a desktop-specific directory:

• Hyprland: ~/.config/Dynamic-DRPC-Hyprland/config.json
• COSMIC: ~/.config/Dynamic-DRPC-COSMIC/config.json

The status is generated dynamically from the active window, so the config is minimal. A default one is created automatically on first run.

Hyprland default config

{
  "app_id": "1527185646274220072",
  "default_large_image": "arch",
  "details_from_title": true,
  "image_map": {
    "kitty": "kitty",
    "org.mozilla.firefox": "firefox"
  },
  "name_map": {
    "org.mozilla.firefox": "Firefox"
  }
}

COSMIC default config

{
  "app_id": "1529346794427777125",
  "default_large_image": "arch",
  "details_from_title": true,
  "image_map": {
    "kitty": "kitty",
    "org.mozilla.firefox": "firefox"
  },
  "name_map": {
    "org.mozilla.firefox": "Firefox"
  }
}

How it works:

• app_id — your Discord Application ID (from the Developer Portal, not a bot token).
• details_from_title — (default true) use the live window title as the details line.
• The state is always "Using <name>" where <name> is the window's class, auto-prettyfied (e.g. org.mozilla.firefox → Firefox, kitty → Kitty).
• image_map — optional: map a window class to a Discord asset key for the large image. Anything unlisted falls back to default_large_image.
• name_map — optional: override the auto-prettyfied display name for a class.

You only add entries to image_map / name_map for apps you want to brand nicely — everything else just works with the raw class name.

Note: image asset keys still have to exist in your Discord app's Art Assets (Developer Portal), since assets can't be uploaded automatically.

Troubleshooting

• Discord must be online and not in Invisible mode
• Any asset keys used in image_map / default_large_image must exist in Discord Developer Portal → Art Assets
• Of course, you should have an internet connection :)
