It gives you access to all the underlying `omarchy-*` commands without having to look up the source to learn what they do. ```bash ~ ❯ omarchy Omarchy command center Usage: omarchy [args...] omarchy commands [--all] [--json] [--check] omarchy --help omarchy --help Common commands: omarchy update Update Omarchy and system packages omarchy theme list List available themes omarchy theme set Apply a theme omarchy font list List available fonts omarchy screenshot Take a screenshot omarchy debug Print debugging information Groups: ac AC power detection battery Battery status helpers branch Omarchy git branch management brightness Display and keyboard brightness capture Screenshots and screen recording channel Omarchy release channel management cmd Command and shortcut helpers config System configuration helpers debug Diagnostics and support logs dev Omarchy development tools drive Drive selection and encryption font Font management hibernation Hibernation setup and removal hook User hook runner hw Hardware detection and controls hyprland Hyprland window, monitor, and toggle controls install Optional software installers launch Application launchers menu Omarchy menu commands migrate Migration runner notification Notification helpers npx NPX package wrappers pkg Package management helpers plymouth Plymouth boot theme management powerprofiles Power profile management refresh Reset config to defaults reinstall Reinstall and reset workflows remove Removal workflows restart Restart Omarchy components setup Interactive setup wizards share Share clipboard, files, and folders snapshot System snapshots state Persistent Omarchy state sudo Sudo configuration helpers swayosd SwayOSD status display helpers system Reboot, shutdown, logout, and lock theme Theme management toggle Toggle Omarchy features tui Terminal UI launchers tz Timezone selection update Omarchy and system updates upload Upload helpers version Version and channel information voxtype Voxtype dictation webapp Web app launchers wifi Wi-Fi helpers windows Windows VM management Discovery: omarchy commands List all commands omarchy commands --all Include commands explicitly marked hidden omarchy commands --json Machine-readable command list omarchy commands --check Validate command metadata and routes ``` ### Text extraction via tesseract OCR [Tesseract's open source OCR model](https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract) makes it super quick to grab text out of any part of the screen. This is very helpful for grabbing addresses out of image footers or phone numbers embedded in website headlines. You can trigger it directly using `Super + Ctrl + PrtScr` or via the capture menu (*Trigger \> Capture* or `Super + Ctrl + C`). The extracted text ends up on the clipboard ready for pasting.

### Gaming galore! Gaming on Omarchy just got a huge overhaul. First, the Steam installer is now fully automated (no more picking gpu libs!) and more compatible due to removal of the troublesome `SDL_VIDEODRIVER` env variable (reboot after upgrading to get rid of it!). Great way to play everything from Tetris Effects to ARC Raiders.

The RetroArch installer has gotten an even bigger upgrade by removing the AUR dependency (making it much faster to install) and preconfiguring the system, so all you have to do is put your bios and rom files in `~/Games`, scan the directory, and you're ready to game using the beautiful CRT Royale shader for that perfect retro look. screenshot-2026-05-04_11-57-33-medium

You can now run [Battle.net games](https://eu.shop.battle.net/en-us) via [the Lutris launcher](https://lutris.net/) too! Remember Starcraft? Remember Diablo? [WE REMEMBER!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHJhu15f-hg). It's a little janky to install, though. You just have to follow the instructions and be patient while it looks like nothing is happening, but it's working in the background.

There's also the [Heroic Launcher](https://heroicgameslauncher.com/), which allows you to run Epic Games titles, like OddSparks, without anti\-cheat (so, sadly, no Fortnite or Rocket League!). It too is a little janky and slow to install games, but until Tim Sweeney comes to Linux, it's better than nothing!

The Xbox Cloud Gaming setup is "just" a web app for the service, but it works great, and it starts really quick. Good 1080p gaming if you already have Xbox Game Pass. Access to games like Fortnite and other titles you can't run natively anyway! screenshot-2026-05-04_12-03-19-medium

Finally, there's the [Moonlight client](https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-qt) for streaming games off a Windows PC running [Sunshine](https://app.lizardbyte.dev/Sunshine/). If you can hardwire both your Omarchy machine and the remote gaming PC, it's indistinguishable from running the games locally! Just crank up the resolution to full native, set it to 120hz, and max out the bitrate, and you'll have the best way to play competitive shooters like Fortnite on Linux.

### Boot unlock themeing Every theme can now include `preview-unlock.png` and `unlock.png` (transparent) to be listed under *Style \> Unlock*, so they appear as options for a custom boot unlock design. You can also manually design your new unlock screen using `omarchy-plymouth-preview` and `omarchy-plymouth-set` — great for company logos! lumon-unlock

### New toggles Direct boot (to skip limine preboot rollback screen) and temporary passwordless sudo (for letting agents change the system) has been added to the *Trigger \> Toggle* menu. You can access it directly with `Super + Ctrl + O`.

### Laptop mirroring Mirroring your laptop screen for a projector can now be done from the hardware toggle menu under *Trigger \> Hardware* or by hitting `Ctrl + Super + Alt + Delete`.

### New Oma backgrounds for Tokyo Night 4-oma-cityscape

### Helix themeing When Helix is installed via *Install \> Editor \> Helix*, it'll be included in the automatic Omarchy themeing.

### Cliamp: Music TUI [Cliamp](https://www.cliamp.stream/) is a beautiful TUI by Aether creator @bjarneo. It comes with three great radio stations for computer lovers out of the box, Lofi, Synthwave, and EDM. You can [connect your Spotify account](https://github.com/bjarneo/cliamp/blob/main/docs/spotify.md) to it as well. Along with YouTube Music and other sources. You can start it from the app launcher with `Super + Space` or directly with `Super + Shift + Alt + M`.

### Ghui: GitHub TUI [ghui](https://github.com/kitlangton/ghui) is a new TUI for managing your GitHub pull requests. It's installed on\-demand with the first invocation of `ghui` on the terminal.

## Command changes As part of the unified Omarchy CLI, several `omarchy-*` scripts were renamed to fit the new namespacing. If you have personal scripts, hotkey bindings, or Waybar/Hypr configs calling the old names directly, update them to the new ones below. Configs shipped by Omarchy itself are migrated automatically. | Old name | New name | | ---------------------------------- | --------------------------------- | | `omarchy-cmd-audio-switch` | `omarchy-audio-output-switch` | | `omarchy-cmd-mic-mute` | `omarchy-audio-input-mute` | | `omarchy-cmd-screenrecord` | `omarchy-capture-screenrecording` | | `omarchy-cmd-screenshot` | `omarchy-capture-screenshot` | | `omarchy-cmd-first-run` | `omarchy-first-run` | | `omarchy-cmd-screensaver` | `omarchy-screensaver` | | `omarchy-cmd-share` | `omarchy-menu-share` | | `omarchy-lock-screen` | `omarchy-system-lock` | | `omarchy-sudo-passwordless-toggle` | `omarchy-sudo-passwordless` | The Dell XPS and ThinkPad mic\-mute variants (`omarchy-cmd-mic-mute-xps`, `omarchy-cmd-mic-mute-thinkpad`) have been folded into the single `omarchy-audio-input-mute`, which now handles hardware LED syncing internally. You can also reach all of these through the new unified CLI, e.g. `omarchy capture screenshot`, `omarchy audio input mute`, or `omarchy system lock`. ## New Contributors * @mijuny made their first contribution in * @Cliffback made their first contribution in * @icodealot made their first contribution in * @bontalor made their first contribution in * @davzucky made their first contribution in * @niraletter made their first contribution in * @timbelmon made their first contribution in * @shmall03 made their first contribution in * @spitfire05 made their first contribution in * @17xande made their first contribution in * @stryboh made their first contribution in * @afurm made their first contribution in * @cfulton made their first contribution in * @tushar\-chauhan made their first contribution in * @imanubdesigner made their first contribution in * @boobachad made their first contribution in * @dotsilva made their first contribution in * @hegjon made their first contribution in * @Prajwal\-Prathiksh made their first contribution in * @severin\-richner made their first contribution in **Full Changelog**: 56:["$","$L6d",null,{"entries":[{"key":["platform",{"userId":"anon"},"repo","releases",{"owner":"omacom","repo":"omarchy"},"detail","v3.7.0"],"data":{"id":"1001656","version":"v3.7.0","channel":"stable","title":"v3.7.0","publishedAt":"2026-05-04T13:44:57Z","summary":"# The Gaming Edition","notesMarkdown":"$71","attachments":[],"htmlUrl":"https://trylle.com/omacom/omarchy/releases/tag/v3.7.0","target":"dev","commitSha":"9aa385879494891be2a91a4a107c2c57fa8cb752","publisher":{"id":-1,"login":"Ghost"},"zipballUrl":"/v1/repositories/omacom/omarchy/archive?ref=v3.7.0&format=zip","tarballUrl":"/v1/repositories/omacom/omarchy/archive?ref=v3.7.0&format=tar.gz","isDraft":false,"isPrerelease":false},"fetchedAt":1792621695248}],"children":"$L72"}]
