I can't stop making Omarchy plugins
20 August 2026
Omarchy Quattro is out, the new major version of Omarchy, and it comes with a plugin system. Writing your own is super easy. That turned out to be a dangerous thing to hand me. :-)
The first one took five minutes, couple of prompts with my friend Claude. So I wrote a widget that puts a name next to your workspace: invoicing, bug #4412, reading. After that I couldn’t stop.
The ones that are on GitHub, most starred first:
- time-machine: backups that run every night (114 stars)
- tesla: where the car is (74 stars)
- notification-center: every notification you were sent (63 stars)
- herdr: which coding agent needs you (51 stars)
- workspace-name: names and icons for your workspaces (26 stars)
- clippy: the paperclip is back, with tips from the Omarchy manual and news from your agent (21 stars)
- unifi-protect: my UniFi cameras in a panel (18 stars)
- downloads: the file you just downloaded (15 stars)
- omasweeper: Minesweeper (13 stars)
- text-transform: your clipboard, rewritten (11 stars)
- meetings: my week, and the way into the next call (10 stars)
- gmail-inbox: unread count in the bar (9 stars)
- nag: disposable alarms you type in one line (9 stars)
- github-build-monitor: whether main is green right now (9 stars)
- screen-time: screen time for kids, in two flavours (5 stars)
- omableep: the sounds your computer used to make (5 stars)
- bambu-lab: the status of my 3D printer (3 stars)
- stripe-mrr: your recurring revenue in the bar (2 stars)
- framework-desktop-rgb: the fan LEDs of my Framework Desktop, in any colour (new)
DHH quoted five of them, which was an interesting couple of weeks for my notifications and followers on X. I went past five thousand followers, and I’m close to seven thousand now. Never thought that this could happen so fast.
Eighteen of them are in the Omarchy plugin directory now, which is the easiest way to install one:
screen-time is still in review, so that one is GitHub for now.
