Requires a Wayland session with a wlroots-based compositor. For autocopy functionality, wl-copy must be installed. Does not work under X11 or non-wlroots Wayland compositors.

hyprpicker is part of the Hyprland ecosystem, created by Vaxry alongside the Hyprland compositor. Hyprland gained popularity starting in 2022 as a highly customizable dynamic tiling Wayland compositor.
