Move all fprintd D-Bus calls (init, availability check, claim, verify) from synchronous to async using gio futures. Windows now appear immediately without waiting for D-Bus — fingerprint label fades in once fprintd is ready. Single shared FingerprintListener across all monitors instead of one per monitor.
Moonlock
A secure Wayland lockscreen with GTK4, PAM authentication and fingerprint support. Part of the Moonarch ecosystem.
Features
- ext-session-lock-v1 — Protocol-guaranteed screen locking (compositor keeps screen locked on crash)
- PAM authentication — Uses system PAM stack (
/etc/pam.d/moonlock) - Fingerprint unlock — fprintd D-Bus integration (optional)
- Multi-monitor — Lockscreen on every monitor
- i18n — German and English (auto-detected)
- Faillock warning — UI counter + system pam_faillock
- Panic safety — Panic hook logs but never unlocks
- Password wiping — Zeroize on drop
Requirements
- GTK 4
- gtk4-session-lock (ext-session-lock-v1 support)
- PAM (
/etc/pam.d/moonlock) - Optional: fprintd for fingerprint support
Building
cargo build --release
Installation
# Install binary
sudo install -Dm755 target/release/moonlock /usr/bin/moonlock

background_path = "/usr/share/wallpapers/moon.jpg"
fingerprint_enabled = true
Usage
Typically launched via keybind in your Wayland compositor:
# Niri keybind example
binds {
Mod+L { spawn "moonlock"; }
}
