Azen is a project with two parts:
| Part | Description |
|---|---|
| Azen Linux / NVazen | A Linux distribution based on Arch Linux, focused on elegance and performance |
| Azen Dynamic | Software ecosystem including ALRM, ALPRM, AlreSearch, Wtml, and KDE Setting Shell |
NVazen 2.0lts.1H2609
Built on Arch Linux, featuring:
- Upgraded ALRM technology (C++ edition)
- Modern UI with soft rounded corners
- App Nap & safe sleep-mode selection

Azen Dynamic is the software distribution branch of the Azen project. All sub-projects under Azen Dynamic are maintained by the Azen team.
| Project | Description | Status |
|---|---|---|
| ALRM | Azen Laptop Resources Management — App Nap, safe sleep-mode selection, Resource Optimization | Stable |
| ALPRM | Azen Laptop Power Resources Management — next-gen sleep stack replacement | In development |
| AlreSearch | System file search engine | Early test |
| Wtml | Terminal tool | Early test |
| KDE Setting Shell | Alternative settings UI for KDE Plasma with a Windows 11-inspired design | In development |
ALRM is our exclusive technology for older laptops:
- App Nap — Freezes idle background apps to save CPU & power
- Safe sleep modes — Picks a sleep mode the hardware can actually resume from
- Resource Optimization — Dynamic priority for background processes
The next generation of ALRM, aiming to replace the system's sleep stack with a unified, Azen-controlled power management framework.
Current progress:
- Monitoring Layer (C) — Listens to lid, power button, and D-Bus sleep events
- Decision Layer (Rust) — State machine, permission checks, handoff logs
- Execution Layer (C + Rust) — Freeze processes, switch sleep modes, control hardware
A replacement shell for the native KDE Plasma system settings. It provides a cleaner, more modern interface inspired by Windows 11, while keeping the underlying KDE functionality intact.
