A modification of the Mesa Vulkan overlay. Including GUI improvements, temperature reporting, and logging capabilities.
Example:
Installation
If you do not wish to compile anything, simply download the file under Releases, extract it, and run ./install.sh
from within the extracted folder.
If you wish to compile MangoHud to keep up to date with any changes - first clone this repository and cd into it:
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/flightlessmango/MangoHud.git
cd MangoHud
Then simply run the following commands:
./build.sh build
./build.sh package
sudo ./build.sh install
If you are running an Ubuntu-like distribution, Fedora, or Arch, the build script will automatically detect and prompt you to install missing build dependencies. If you run into any issues with this please report them!
Packaging status
Fedora: sudo dnf install mangohud
Arch: Install mangohud
and lib32-mangohud
with your favourite AUR helper. mangohud-git
is also available on the AUR.
Normal usage
To enable the MangoHud Vulkan overlay layer, run :
MANGOHUD=1 /path/to/my_vulkan_app
Or alternatively, add MANGOHUD=1
to your shell profile.
Hud configuration
MangoHud comes with a config file which can be used to set configuration options globally or per application. The priorities of different config files are:
/path/to/application/dir/MangoHud.conf
$HOME/.config/MangoHud/{application_name}.conf
$HOME/.config/MangoHud/MangoHud.conf
$HOME/.local/share/MangoHud/MangoHud.conf
The default config file is installed to $HOME/.config/MangoHud/MangoHud.conf
and will not be overwritten by the script.
MANGOHUD_CONFIG
environment variable
You can also customize the hud by using the MANGOHUD_CONFIG
environment variable while separating different options with a comma. This takes priority over any config file.
A partial list of parameters are below. See the config file for a complete list.

---|---|
cpu_temp gpu_temp |
Displays current CPU/GPU temperature |
core_load |
Displays load & frequency per core |

MangoHud FPS logging
When you toggle logging (using the keybind F2
), a file is created with your chosen name (using MANGOHUD_OUTPUT
) plus a date & timestamp.
This file can be uploaded to Flightlessmango.com to create graphs automatically. you can share the created page with others, just link it.
Multiple log files
It's possible to upload multiple files when using Flightlessmango.com. You can rename them to your preferred names and upload them in a batch. These filenames will be used as the legend in the graph.
