@TBlock As I read here docs.tblock.me/daemon-quick-ov… there is a daemon running in the background to update the filter lists and such. This applies for the TBlock GUI too? If so how can I check if it is running? I use arch+systemd.

Hi! Well, the daemon is part of the package "tblock", which is required by the GUI, so, yes, you can use the daemon with the GUI.
To check if it is enabled, there are several ways:
1. Open the GUI, click in the "TBlock" section in the navbar and go under Troubleshooting. You should see a message telling you whether the daemon is running.
2. Alternatively, you can run "tblock --status" from the command-line.
3. Using your init system (command is "systemctl status tblockd" if you use systemd)

If it isn't enabled, you can run "systemctl enable tblockd --now" will enable it and start it.

Note that the documentation is in the process of being rewritten, so everything will be clearer then. It will also include useful information about the GUI.

Ok it was not running. I think would be very useful to make it run after the package is installed. Would that be possible?

Of course! I just opened an issue for it ;) codeberg.org/tblock/tblock/iss…
