Gromit-MPX is an on-screen annotation tool that works with any Unix desktop environment under X11 as well as Wayland.
Its main use is for making presentations of some application. Normally, you would have to move the mouse pointer around the point of interest until hopefully everybody noticed it. With Gromit-MPX, you can draw everywhere onto the screen, highlighting some button or area.
Simple X hotkey daemon.
sxhkd is an X daemon that reacts to input events by executing commands. Its configuration file is a series of bindings that define the associations between the input events and the commands. The format of the configuration file supports a notation for mapping shortcuts to commands in parallel.
xmobar is a minimalistic status bar. It's usable with any window manager in X11 and (via its text output mode) Wayland.
dwm is a dynamic window manager for X. It manages windows in tiled, monocle, and floating layouts. It can apply layouts dynamically, optimizing the environment for the app in use and the task performed.
xidlehook is a general-purpose replacement for xautolock, written in Rust,
with a few extra features.
It executes a command when the computer has been idle for a specified amount of
time.
grobi automatically configures monitors/outputs for Xorg via RANDR.
It watches for changes in the available outputs
(when a connecting or disconnecting a display),
and automatically configures the current outputs via RANDR according
to available profiles.
autorandr detects the connected display hardware and load the appropriate X11
setup by using xrandr.
It automatically selects a display configuration based on connected devices.
wmii is a dynamic window manager for X11. It supports classic and tiled window management with extended keyboard, mouse, and 9P-based[1] remote control. It consists of the wmii(1) window manager and the wmiir(1) the remote access utility.

i3 is a tiling window manager for X11. It primarily targets advanced users and developers.
STAnd aLONE TRAY (notification area) implementation for X11.
Stalonetray is a STAndaLONE freedesktop.org and KDE system tray (notification area) for X Window System/X11 (Xorg or XFree86). It has full XEMBED support and minimal dependencies: an X11 lib only. Stalonetray works with virtually any EWMH-compliant window manager.
Auto-suspend inactive X11 applications. 👀 💻 💤 🔋 Save battery by auto-suspending unfocused X11 applications.
Modern GUI applications tend to use significant system resources, such as CPU time, even when they're not being actively used.
XSuspender configurably suspends application activity (using Unix signal SIGSTOP or a custom shell script) shortly after its window(s) loses focus. When the window regains focus, the application is transparently resumed exactly where it had left off.
the tiling window manager that rocks.
xmonad is a small but functional ICCCM-compliant tiling X11 window manager written and configured in Haskell.
It arranges Windows automatically to tile the screen without gaps or overlap, maximizing screen use. Window manager features are accessible from the keyboard: a mouse is optional. The user might write custom layout algorithms, key bindings, and other extensions in config files. It applies layouts dynamically, and can use different layouts on each workspace. It fully supports Xinerama, allowing to tile windows on dual or more physical screens.
