Omarchy Becomes Fully Customizable: 4,000 Plugins Published
On September 23, Omarchy had more than 4 000 published plugins. People keep some others only on their personal machines. Plugins come in six types: `bar-widget`, `panel`, `overlay`, `menu`, `service` and `bar`.

MORE THAN FOUR THOUSAND plugins for Omarchy have been published! And countless more have been made directly on people's own machines. At last, there is an agentic OS that becomes whatever you want it to be.

Previously, a plugin lived in a separate Git repository. Now Omarchy installs and enables it with `omarchy plugin add <repository-URL> --enable`, while the community plugin catalog gathers ready-made widgets in one place. The CLI places code in `~/.config/omarchy/plugins/<id>/`, validates the manifest, and prevents two plugins with the same id from being installed.
Editing without a build. The built-in `omarchy.clock` can be cloned with `omarchy plugin clone omarchy.clock`: the copy receives an id prefixed with the user's name and replaces the original. Save any file in the plugins folder, and Omarchy immediately reloads its code.
Omarchy itself is installed from an ISO onto a USB drive, with Secure Boot and TPM disabled before booting. Whole-disk installation mode wipes the selected disk, and a third-party plugin runs unsandboxed code inside `omarchy-shell`.
Omarchy is moving toward an OS that owners assemble from ready-made plugins and their own tweaks.
