Stasis – modern Wayland idle manager

Stasis is a modern Wayland idle manager that knows when to step back.

Stasis doesn’t just lock your screen after a timer—it understands context. Watching a video? Reading a document? Playing music? Stasis detects these scenarios and intelligently manages idle behavior, so you never have to jiggle your mouse to prevent an unwanted screen lock.

This is free and open source software.

Features include:

• Smart idle detection with configurable timeouts.
• Media-aware idle handling – automatically detects media playback.
• Application-specific inhibitors – prevent idle when specific apps are running.
• Idle inhibitor respect – honors Wayland idle inhibitor protocols.
• Lid events via DBus – detect laptop lid open/close events to manage idle.
• Flexible action system – supports named action blocks and custom commands.
• Regex pattern matching – powerful app filtering with regular expressions.
• Clean configuration – uses the intuitive RUNE configuration language.
• Live reload – update configuration without restarting the daemon.
