What they are
Omarchy is DHH’s Arch Linux and Hyprland setup, and its fourth version opened the desktop shell to plugins. Between September 18 and October 5 I published eleven of them as open source. Ten are listed on the community marketplace at plugins.omarchy.org.
| Plugin | What it does |
|---|---|
| Crash Desk | Two weeks of crash history, and one key to hand a crash to an AI agent for diagnosis |
| Fault Line | Failed services and journal errors since boot, grouped and counted |
| Keybind Dojo | A quiz built from your own keyboard shortcuts |
| Theme Clock | Switches between a day and a night theme at sunrise and sunset, or at fixed times |
| Low Tide | Staged low-battery alerts, then hibernates before the battery runs out |
| Pulse | Status lights for your services and machines |
| Shorthand | Text expansions on the Compose key |
| Capture Inbox | Capture history and an offline queue for my second-brain capture pipeline |
| Herd | Which of your AI coding agents are working, idle or blocked, across machines |
| Drop Zone | A shelf in the bar: drop or paste files onto it from anywhere, then deliver the whole batch to a folder, a zip, or an SSH host |
| Fractal Map | A zoomable map view for fractal-wm, a window layout I wrote alongside it |
Why I built them
My mobile dev box is a 2015 Surface Pro 4 running Omarchy. Most of these started as something I wanted on that laptop: knowing why an app crashed without opening a terminal, or getting warned before the battery dies instead of after. With AI coding agents doing most of the typing, ten were public within two weeks of the first, and Drop Zone followed on October 5.
How they ship
Every plugin has tests. Every marketplace submission goes through a bot that validates the exact commit and runs a static security check, and then a maintainer approves the listing.
The review sent several of mine back. Some read command output with no size limit; one passed text from a crash record into an AI agent’s prompt. Each fix became a rule in a hardening checklist that every new plugin passes before I submit it. Drop Zone, the newest, went through its first validation with no findings: every rule from the earlier rounds was already in it.
What they do today
By October 30 the ten listed plugins had 146 copies, 1,110 views and 17 hearts on the marketplace, up from 123, 873 and 15 on October 1. A copy is someone copying the install command. Crash Desk is the most copied, at 39; Theme Clock has the most views (280) and hearts (7); Drop Zone has 9 copies since it was listed in early October.
