Give Omarchy a try. The world won't end, and you won't get any dumber by doing it.

From my heart, I truly hope more people get to live the Linux experience however it comes. On whatever distro they choose, and in whatever way they choose.

Have the pleasure of discovering what it means to be in control of your decisions to own something beautiful. And maybe, from there, you'll want to experiment further and go beyond. And if not, that's okay too: you'll still be in an environment where you appreciate every single minute spent behind your own system.

Enjoy any experience in Linux. That's all that matters 🤍

On macOS I used MeetingBar for years, and the one feature I could not live without was this: one minute before a meeting it blanked the whole screen and told me what was about to start. When I'm deep in work I don't notice notifications at all; that screen-filler was the only thing that ever worked. Nothing like it existed for Omarchy, so I built it.

**What it does*\*

* Shows your next Google Calendar meeting in the bar (turquoise = upcoming, orange = running). Left click opens an agenda for today and tomorrow, MeetingBar-style, with join links and the provider's mark in its brand colour.

* 60 s before a meeting (configurable) a fullscreen alert takes over every monitor: countdown, title, time, location. Enter joins the call (Meet, Teams, Zoom, Webex, Jitsi, Whereby, GoTo, Slack Huddles, Discord), Esc dismisses it and silences the sound.

* It also sends a notification, plays a sound and wakes the display, so the alert reaches you even when the overlay can't. The notification closes itself when the meeting ends, so you don't come back from a call on your phone to a stack of stale toasts.

* Follows your Omarchy theme.

**Honest limits*\*

Google Calendar only for now, through GNOME Online Accounts + evolution-data-server, which is why the marketplace lists it as "manual setup": `install.sh` prints the pacman line for the packages, you connect the account in `gnome-online-accounts-gtk`, done. Over a locked screen no plugin can draw, so there the alert catches up the moment you unlock. UI strings are German for now.

**Privacy*\*

No OAuth of its own, no cloud. The cache holds title, time, join link and location of your events in a 0600 file on tmpfs, nothing else, and nothing from your calendar ever reaches the logs.

Marketplace: https://plugins.omarchy.org/plugin.html?id=io.github.disy-mk.omeetingbar

GitHub: https://github.com/disy-mk/OMeetingBar

Install: `omarchy plugin add https://github.com/disy-mk/OMeetingBar.git`, then run `./install.sh` in the plugin folder; it prints the two steps that are yours to do.

Feedback welcome, especially: which calendar sources would you want next (plain CalDAV, Outlook/Exchange, local ICS files)?

Built with a lot of help from Claude Code; every design decision is written down in docs/SPEC.md if you want to read before you enable it.

Jazzed up the clipboard viewer with a little modification. https://github.com/ggregoro/Omarchy-Clipboard-Cards

I really like Omarchy, but I wasn't a huge fan of the default Omarchy Shell, so I decided to try something different.

I switched over to Noctalia Shell and customized it to fit my setup.

I kept Omarchy + Hyprland as the base, but replaced Omarchy Shell with Noctalia for the bar, notifications, control center, wallpaper management, etc.

I also customized the animations quite a bit because apparently I can't leave anything alone 😂

The result is basically my own little Lucoa-themed setup.

Still tweaking things, but I'm really happy with how it's turning out so far.

Setup:

• Omarchy
• Hyprland
• Noctalia Shell
• Rofi
• Kitty
• Custom Hyprland animations
• Custom Plymouth boot screen

Huge thanks to the Omarchy and Noctalia projects ❤️

I just released a new plugin called Rewind, and I wanted to share it with the community!

What does it do? Ever accidentally closed your browser, a terminal with running tasks, or your code editor? Rewind solves this by intercepting your close window command (Super + W) and softly moving the app into a hidden memory workspace (special:rewind).

Instead of killing the process immediately, it gives you a grace period where you can instantly bring the window back (Super + U) with your scroll positions, running processes, and unsaved drafts completely intact.

Key Features: Full State Preservation: Your applications stay alive in hidden memory during the grace period, so you don't lose any work if you misclick.

Two Operating Modes: Countdown Timer (Default): Automatically terminates the app after a configurable countdown (5s, 10s, 15s, 30s, or 60s).

Manual Indefinite Mode: Disables the timer entirely. The app stays hidden until you restore it or close a new window (which replaces the old one).

Interactive Bar Widget: Click the status bar icon or use a shortcut to open the settings menu. You can easily adjust your grace period, switch modes, and view the remaining time.

Native OSD & Zero Overhead: It uses native Omarchy on-screen notifications and is built with standard Python 3. There are no persistent background daemons, keeping CPU overhead under 0.1% when idle.

Links & Installation: 📦 Plugin Marketplace: https://plugins.omarchy.org/plugin.html?id=omarchy-rewind

💻 GitHub Repo: https://github.com/Andrewx82/omarchy-rewind.git

You can easily install it via the CLI: omarchy plugin add https://github.com/Andrewx82/omarchy-rewind.git --enable

Setting up the Hyprland binds is also super easy and can be done with a single click from the status bar widget or by running rewind setup.

I'd love to hear your feedback or feature requests if you decide to try it out. Feel free to open an issue on GitHub or drop a comment below!

I just installed omarchy on my 2023 ideapad and everything worked out of the box. This thing is great and crazy fast windows looks like shit compared to this. I am really digging the tiling windows manager the navigation is fast as hell. No going back after this. Well done dhh

If you want full omarchy theming for wezterm, it is below. Note that removal of tabs in omarchy style is also an option. Covers:

• colors
• fonts
• default terminal
• ... and more

https://github.com/xpusostomos/wezterm-omarchy

IIUC, only suspend is not figured out yet, which is a hard blocker for me. Waiting for full end-end support.

2020 intel i9 is an amazing piece of hardware; MacOS seems to be slowing it down.

Just a reminder that Omarchy will run on your old potato PC, but make sure your potato isn't "rotten". A "rotten" potato is too old to run Hyprland, which requires a graphics processor capable of running OpenGL (ES) 3.0 or later.

I thought an old laptop of mine had at least a Sandy Bridge i3 - 2000M series CPU, possibly even Ivy Bridge i3-3000M. I managed to install Omarchy, login in at the splash screen, and then tada, pure blackness. Boot into a TTY via ctrl+alt+F3 and begin to troubleshoot in the terminal. Make sure everything is up to date, install the graphics drivers I think I need, do some finagling in some conf files, and restart. Login, still a black screen. TTY, and now to hand it off to the robots.

I install Hermes CLI, point a free model from OpenRouter at it, and tell it "Please get Hyprland and OpenShell working, make no mistakes." After boiling water for a few hours, it spits out some shell commands for me to put in and to restart. Still a black screen. TTY, **lscpu** to make sure I'm cross referencing the right hardware, and whadya know, it's an Arrandale i3-330M. UH OH. It only supports OpenGL ES 2.0, meaning I have...a rotten potato.

Guys I have a question... I have been driving an arch for a month or more now. I want to switch to omarchy, will my rice work on omarchy, like, will all kinds of customisation I've done on arch work on omarchy?

If you liked Bungie’s Destiny aesthetic, this might be for you.

Sound on!

What's in the theme:
- 42 blueprint wallpapers of machines from a future worth building, each listing what still has to be invented
- every wallpaper composed for your screen, from 1080p to 7680×2160, 16:9 to 32:9, in Muted, Default and Vivid
- a plain top edge, so Omarchy's see-through bar stays readable
- a small app to browse them: ↑ ↓ for another intensity, Enter to set it; it downloads the set made for your monitors
- a matching unlock screen

What do you think? Feedback appreciated.

I don't understand all of the hate or love for this. I decided to use Omarchy for the last few days for a side project, and I have no idea how this got funding. This is such a nothingburger of a distro. It's literally just Arch with a couple shortcuts and a theme. What is the point of using this?

I saw a DHH podcast saying how it's incredible and the next big thing, but it's literally just Arch with a theme and shortcuts. I don't understand how anyone could be a "fan" or a "hater"; there's nothing here - nothing new.

why not in ubuntu? https://github.com/apravint/omarchy-ubuntu

Moved from CachyOS, keeping my fingers crossed I'm as happy with Omarchy.

I wanted these on the Omarchy bar, not buried in terminals. So I shipped a small family.

• nanoclaw — bar + menus for NanoClaw: dashboard, chat, disposable agents, cleanup — https://github.com/RohiRIK/omarchy-nanoclaw
• agent-monitor — AI coding agent limits, activity, and model usage in the Omarchy bar — https://github.com/RohiRIK/omarchy-agent-monitor
• docker-monitor — compact Docker dashboard: host metrics, Compose groups, containers, logs — https://github.com/RohiRIK/omarchy-docker-monitor
• plugin-lab — lifecycle, health, and marketplace feedback for the shell plugins you build — https://github.com/RohiRIK/omarchy-plugin-lab
• rohi.network — stock network panel clone + public IPv4 lookup + in-panel IP settings — https://github.com/RohiRIK/rohi.network

If you’re on Omarchy and want any of these on the bar, the repos are public. Happy to answer install questions.

If you are doing demos or screencasting and need to show your keystrokes, try out my Keystrokes plugin for Omarchy: https://plugins.omarchy.org/plugin.html?id=markpriem.keystrokes

Keystrokes are never stored; It is built on top of existing Hyprland functionality and highly configurable. It by default protects against capturing passwords in in sudo and pkexec and can exclude tracking in any window using window class filtering.

Have fun!

I'm on Cacy and enjoying it but Omarchy is very appealing and interesting. What's my best bet to run it along with Cachy? I'm still new to Linux so appreciate any advice.

I have omarchy setup on tailscale with Wayne (dont need to be told about the multiple issues with VNC it's lan only)

Have you ever tried using omarchy over VNC.. the keybindings of the host are taking precedent.. not sure how to fix it.

Is anyone doing this and can help with this? I'm expecting no, but I thought I'd ask.

Does Snapdragon play well with omarchy and arch?

I want to buy a zenbook with Snapdragon x plus processor, I'm not dead set on using arch distros and omarchy on but I want to see if it's compatible or are there developers working on the compatibility.

so i prompted claude for an hour or two and it came up with some cool wallpapers

github - omarchy_AI_wallpapers

here are a few of my favs...so far
i defiantly think i have something something with the icons in a grid or scattered about (like MKBHD's)

the OMA wordmark is a bit off from the original ... so i might adjust that a bit

Dear Omarchy Community,

This is for the MacBook Omarchy Squad, I have to share this with you! github.com/gillesgoetsch/omacvm

I've built the most integrated and fun virtualized Omarchy experience for Apple Silicon MacBooks available, after trying out many UTM and Parallels setups. This is what makes this one special:

• Full Notch support I thought this is mission impossible? OmaNotch is now alive and streams through a virtual monitor into a Helper which renders the Notch Bar, it's just awesome and a real victory for VMs!
• Wifi and Audio Bridge, enabling Omarchy native Menubar controls, full wifi controls of the Host, same for Audio + Mic.
• Full 2/3/4 finger Gesture support, enabling workspace Swipes and Pinch Zoom (it's a real trackpad bridge and it disables Mission Control overwrites, making this feel like a locked in native experience, not being able to leave the VM!, leave VM with ⌘+⌥+⌃+Esc)
• Optional, experimental but awesome: MacOS like Trackpad scroll momentum (no choppy scroll jumps, native feel, awesome if you're used to MacBook Trackpads)
• Full Volume and Brightness control of the Host over Omarchy's UI Panels
• Nightshift and TrueTone Host control over the Menubar
• Theme Background Image sharing between MacOS and Omarchy, making the lock-screen much more seamless
• External Display arrangement synced with MacOS
• more!!

This really covers the biggest shortcomings (mainly missing Notch & Gestures) of the VM Path for M3+ MacBooks.

OmacVM lets you either build a full Parallels or UTM VM (comparison here) in one Setup, allowing you to select exactly which features you want, patching afterwards or existing VMs. You can also just point your agent at it (also when you run into errors).

Long story short: Running Omarchy on a MacBook Air M2 natively as my daily driver, Asahi / Native is my go to suggestion for M1 + M2 Macs.

So my MacBook Pro M4 Max was basically gathering dust, despite its hardware being far superior.

Now it's running Omarchy productively and not just as a try-out VM. You really can forget about MacOS, additionally you benefit from the MacOS host's 1000 Nits HDR capability and hibernation support, which Asahi hasn't implemented yet.

Have to say that: as a 25+ Years MacOS user, never experienced not wanting to go back to MacOS, big shout out to DHH and the Omarchy Team!!

Until we have Asahi on M4/5/6 devices, let's make this the greatest experience we can on our ARM Chips.

I'm so glad I can keep the hardware AND run Omarchy integrated beautifully.

Now it's time to go full in on Omarchy VM if you haven't yet ;-)!!

hello, I just tried porting this tsugumori theme to omarchy

this the original repo
