I have been using KDE, but since i installed ulauncher i have been relying on the menu and icon panel less and less. I thought i would try a tiling window manager, and installed Sway. Since then however i have been getting this popup in t he top right corner.

Can anyone help me identify it or figure out how to?

Maybe mako? if so "exec mako" would be in your sway config

It may be that! This is still KDE though i have not switched over yet, but it seems there is a running mako process while using KDE

ps -aux | grep mako

vramch 3813244 0.0 0.0 108152 24876 ? Ssl 15:09 0:00 /usr/bin/mako

if its part of sway it seems its capable of running under kde also?

It is its own program but sounds like maybe it was included in the packages that got installed when you installed sway

You are absolutely right. It was mako. I found the git repo for it and configured it a bit. I at least have it to the top center now so it does not overlap with anything! It's simple though so configuring it was easy, i just wish there was a way to configure individual lines rather than just one font setting for all. Thank you!
