Pause and resume game/program process in Hyprland. Contribute to Zerodya/hyprfreeze development by creating an account on GitHub.

Hey all! If you do any gaming on Hyprland, you might be interested in hyprfreeze.

It’s a very simple bash script I made to “freeze” a game process (or any other process) in Hyprland, which you may find useful to:

  • Pause games during unpausable cutscenes
  • Save system resources (CPU and GPU are free, the process is saved in RAM)

Should just work^^TM in most scenarios but my testings can only go so far and any feedback would be very appreciated.

    There is Nyrna, but it doesn’t work on Wayland.

    Afaik saving to swap isn’t possible as it’s something managed by the kernel, although you can try tweaking cgroups. Nyrna also mentions that this isn’t currently possible.
