Omarchy, the opinionated Arch Linux desktop, now has a public community plugin catalog that its creator, David Heinemeier Hansson, said on Sunday has reached 1,000 listings.
Hansson pointed to omarchyplugins.com, a registry for plugins built for Omarchy Quattro. The catalog is designed so users can inspect source, copy an install command, and publish new plugins. The count is a first-party claim from Hansson; the site is JavaScript-rendered, so the figure was not independently recounted for this article.
The plugin milestone lands in a week of official Omarchy news. On Friday, Hansson published a note on Omarchy News that he is incorporating the Omacom Foundation, a nonprofit that is intended to hold trademarks, fund infrastructure, promote the work, and support open-source projects the desktop depends on. According to that post, eight founding patrons are each contributing $1 million of their own money: Tobi Lütke of Shopify, Patrick Collison of Stripe, Michael Dell of Dell Technologies, Jack Dorsey of Block, Matthew Prince of Cloudflare, Brendan Iribe, Jason Fried of 37signals, and Hansson.
The same day, Omarchy News said the foundation will become the exclusive sponsor of Hyprland, the tiling compositor that sits alongside Arch Linux and Quickshell as one of Omarchy's three core technologies. The deal is described as three years, with an option for two more, taking over on October 10. Paid Hyprland Hyprperks subscriptions are to end, with that program released for free; personal donations are still to be accepted. 37signals, Butterfly, and Framework were named as earlier supporters.
On Sunday, Hansson also said Omasnap, a native Wayland screenshot and annotation tool that Lütke and other contributors have been building, is scheduled to ship in Omarchy 4.1 as the default screenshot tool. He separately said a Linux beta of Dave Plummer's TMOG task manager had been packaged for Omarchy's edge repository.
Omarchy is released under the MIT license and maintained in public under Basecamp's GitHub organization, with a long manual covering install, theming, development tools, snapshots, and security. It is positioned as a curated, keyboard-first Linux desktop rather than a mass-market clone of macOS or Windows.
The 1,000-plugin post does not appear to have been covered by major business or consumer-tech outlets. The foundation launch was aggregated on Techmeme and discussed on Hacker News and in specialist Linux coverage.
