Install

Install on your Hyprland machine. Requires Hyprland 0.56 or newer and systemd. Builds are available for x86_64 and ARM64.

Install script

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wesleygrimes/wayshare/main/install.sh | sh

Install with mise

If you use mise, run:

To build it yourself, see Build from source.

Configure

Run this in a terminal inside your Hyprland session:

wayshare setup

Choose a password, the monitor to share, and the network to accept connections on. Setup saves your choices, starts wayshare, and displays the address and username for your Mac.

If ufw blocks the connection, setup offers to add a firewall rule using sudo.

Run wayshare setup again to change these choices. For other settings, edit ~/.config/wayshare/config.toml, then run:

wayshare restart

Connect from your Mac

Open Screen Sharing.
Choose Connection → New and enter the address shown by setup.
Sign in with the username shown by setup and the password you chose.
Select High Performance when prompted.

For connection or startup problems, run wayshare doctor and see Troubleshooting.
