twmn is a notification system for tiling window managers. It's composed of:
twmnc: command line tool to send notifications totwmnd.twmnd: daemon listening to notification requests and showing them one after another.
It shows notifications in a one-line bar called the notification slide. The user can navigates them through and activated with shortcuts.
An unofficial GUI wrapper around the Tailscale CLI client.
Trayscale is an unofficial GUI interface for the Tailscale daemon particularly for use on Linux, as no official Linux GUI client exists. It provides a basic system tray icon and a fairly comprehensive UI with support for many of Tailscale's features.
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.
systembus-notify is a system bus notification daemon.
It's a tiny daemon that listens for net.nuetzlich.SystemNotifications.Notify
signals on the D-Bus system bus and shows them as desktop notifications using
the user bus.
Stalonetray is a STAnd-aLONE freedesktop.org and KDE system tray (notification area) for X Window System/X11 (e.g. X.Org or XFree86). It has full XEMBED support and minimal dependencies: an X11 lib only. Stalonetray works with virtually any EWMH-compliant window manager.

bspwm is a tiling window manager based on binary space partitioning. It represents windows as the leaves of a full binary tree. It only responds to X events, and the messages it receives on a dedicated socket.
Conky is a free, light-weight system monitor for X, that displays any kind of information on your desktop. It can also run on Wayland (with caveats), macOS, output to your console, a file, or even HTTP (oh my!).
Upgrade all the things.
Keeping your system up to date usually involves invoking multiple package managers. This results in big, non-portable shell one-liners saved in your shell. To remedy this, topgrade detects which tools you use and runs the appropriate commands to update them.
Modern wallpaper daemon for Wayland.
wpaperd is the modern wallpaper daemon for Wayland. It dynamically changes the current wallpaper, either after a certain amount of time or via a command-line interface. It uses OpenGL ES to render the images and have beautiful hardware-accelerated transitions, while being easy on resources.
An urgent-first/most-recently-used window switcher for sway & swayrbar, a status_command for swaybar. Swayr, a window-switcher & more for sway.
Swayr consists of a daemon, and a client. The swayrd daemon records window/workspace creations, deletions, and focus changes using sway's JSON IPC interface. The swayr client offers subcommands, see swayr --help, and sends them to the daemon which executes them.
Widgets for everyone!
Eww (ElKowar's Wacky Widgets, pronounced with sufficient amounts of disgust) is a widget system made in Rust, which lets you create your own widgets similarly to how you can in AwesomeWM. The key difference: It is independent of your window manager!

Open-source KVM software.
Input Leap is software that mimics the functionality of a KVM switch, which historically would allow you to use a single keyboard and mouse to control multiple computers by physically turning a dial on the box to switch the machine you're controlling at any given moment. Input Leap does this in software, allowing you to tell it which machine to control by moving your mouse to the edge of the screen, or by using a keypress to switch focus to a different system.

High-level tracing language for Linux.
bpftrace is a high-level tracing language for Linux. bpftrace uses LLVM as a backend to compile scripts to eBPF-bytecode and makes use of libbpf and bcc for interacting with the Linux BPF subsystem, as well as existing Linux tracing capabilities: kernel dynamic tracing (kprobes), user-level dynamic tracing (uprobes), tracepoints, etc. The bpftrace language is inspired by awk, C, and predecessor tracers such as DTrace and SystemTap.

bpftune aims to provide lightweight, always-on auto-tuning of system behaviour. The key benefit it provides are
- by using BPF observability features, we can continuously monitor and adjust system behaviour.
- because we can observe system behaviour at a fine grain (rather than using coarse system-wide stats), we can tune at a finer grain too (individual socket policies, individual device policies etc).

Linpmem is a linux memory acquisition tool. Linpmem is a Linux x64-only tool for reading physical memory.
Like its Windows counterpart, Winpmem, this is not a traditional memory dumper. Linpmem offers an API for reading from any physical address, including reserved memory and memory holes, but it can also be used for normal memory dumping. Furthermore, the driver offers a variety of access modes to read physical memory, such as byte, word, dword, qword, and buffer access mode, where buffer access mode is appropriate in most standard cases. If reading requires an aligned byte/word/dword/qword read, Linpmem will do precisely that.
