This is a simple plugin that adds support for sending notifydismiss requests via the hyprctl socket (.socket.sock, not .socket2.sock).

You can either send the notifydismiss request directly to the .socket.sock:

echo "notifydismiss" | nc -U "/tmp/hypr/$HYPRLAND_INSTANCE_SIGNATURE/.socket.sock"

Which will dismiss all notifications, or you can use:

echo "notifydismiss 2" | nc -U "/tmp/hypr/$HYPRLAND_INSTANCE_SIGNATURE/.socket.sock"

Which will dismiss the 2 oldest notifications. (Passing -1 will also dismiss all notifications.)

Due to the limitations on how Hyprland plugins work, it is not possible to hook into hyprctl binary and change the inner handling there, hooks only work within the Hyprland binary.

That said, since hyprctl already has support for notify command, the way it's implemented will allow you to also use it with any other command, that also starts with notify, so calling hyprctl notifydismiss will actually work.

That said, hyprctl will expect a minimum of 2 arguments here, since that's the setting for notify. This isn't an issue though, as the 2nd argument will simply be ignored, so you can pass it anything, it just must be there.

Example usage:

hyprctl notifydismiss -1 foo  # dismiss all notifications
hyprctl notifydismiss 2 bar  # dissmiss 2 oldest notifications

The recommended way to install this plugin is via the official plugin manager hyprpm:

• hyprpm add https://github.com/ItsDrike/hyprland-notify-dismiss
• hyprpm enable notify-dismiss

To automatically load the plugin when Hyprland starts, add exec-once = hyprpm reload -n to your Hyprland config.

Alternatively, you can also install manually:

• make all
• hyprctl plugin load ${PWD}/notify-dismiss.so (must be an absolute path)
