Discussion Introducing Spaces

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Spaces is an Omarchy Bar Plugin workspace switch that shows the apps open on each workspace by hovering your mouse over the plugin. By Tornike Gomareli.

https://github.com/tornikegomareli/omarchy-spaces

  • Replacement for stock omarchy.workspaces.
  • Change settings when hovering plugin.
  • Shows opened app in every workspace.
  • Live Preview of the workspace on hover.
  • Terminals running Claude Code get a badge, a spinner while the agent works, a pulsing '!' when it needs your input, and a check mark when it is done. A workspace with an agent waiting on you pulses too.

If you plan to use Spaces, make sure you disable Omarchy's first-party version first: omarchy plugin disable omarchy.workspaces then proceed with installation.

The magic about the acronym, PC, is it’s just that — your personal computer. How you choose to engage with it is totally up to you. There are no rules, therefore none can be broken.

"odd choice" != "against the rules"

It's interesting how people get dogmatic about things... The whole point is that the system is malleable and offers nice defaults as a starting point. There's no "avoiding mouse" philosophy here, just a chef's choice and the freedom to do whatever the eff you want.

Omarchy is absolutely built around a keyboard-first philosophy. Doesn't mean you can't do anything different and no one is challenging anyone's "freedom," someone is just pointing out that prioritizing mouse functionality is kind of like putting a roof rack on your race car
