Vibe-coded — read this before you trust it
hyprv is ~100% AI-generated. It was designed and written end-to-end by Claude through conversational prompting — no human has reviewed the majority of the source code. It works well for the author's daily Hyper-V use, but treat it accordingly.
Use at your own risk. (See the MIT license — it ships "AS IS".)
hyprv is a from-scratch alternative to the built-in Hyper-V Manager, focused on the thing that tool does worst: actually using your VMs. Every virtual machine — and every remote machine — opens as a tab with a real, full-featured RDP session: enhanced-mode graphics, clipboard, dynamic resize, per-monitor DPI scaling. Around that sits a clean, fast, keyboard-friendly UI for managing VM state and hardware.
- Tabbed VM consoles — each VM opens in its own tab with a full RDP session (basic and enhanced mode), clipboard and Ctrl+Alt+Del support, and automatic DPI scaling that matches the host.
- Remote Desktop hosts — connect to any RDP machine, not just VMs, in the same tabbed UI. Credentials are prompt-every-time; nothing is ever stored or sent by hyprv.
- Tear-away tabs & multi-window — drag a VM out into its own window, or drop it back onto another.
- Full VM management — a new-VM wizard, a hardware editor (CPU, memory, disks, network, COM, security/vTPM, boot order…), start / stop / save / checkpoint — all from a compact UI.
- Light / dark / black themes with Mica and Acrylic backdrops.
- Windows 11 — x64 or ARM64.
- Hyper-V enabled for VM features. (Remote Desktop hosts work without it.)
- A few operations — e.g. offline physical-disk pass-through — require running elevated.
- Launch hyprv. The welcome page lists your Hyper-V VMs and any saved Remote Desktop hosts.
- Click a VM to open it as a tab and connect. Use the left rail or right-click a VM for state changes (start/stop/save/checkpoint) and to open its Settings editor.
- Add a Remote Desktop host from the welcome page to connect to a non-VM machine.
- Drag a tab out of the strip to pop it into its own window.
