The Manual

Commercial apps/services

Omarchy is mostly focused on providing free, open source software, but it’s not religious about it. Sometimes the best solution is a commercial offering, and that’s just fine. Here are some of the options we provide an easy installation for.

1Password #

Keeping your passwords in a password manager is a best practice. Doubly so if you’re working with a team. And 1password is a great solution, which also comes with a command line tool for integrating key lookups in scripts.

You start 1Password with Super + Shift + /. If it isn’t installed yet, that hotkey kicks off the installation first (you can also use Install > Service > 1Password from the Omarchy menu). The installer sets up the 1Password extension for Chromium as well.

Bitwarden #

Bitwarden is the open source alternative in the password manager space, with a free tier that covers most personal use. Install it with Install > Service > Bitwarden from the Omarchy menu, which brings along the Bitwarden command line tool as well.

Spotify #

Spotify is the world’s most popular streaming music service. And the Linux application provides everything you’d expect, including offline playing.

You start Spotify using Super + Shift + M. Like 1Password, the hotkey kicks off the installation first if Spotify isn’t installed yet (or use Install > Service > Spotify from the Omarchy menu).

Dropbox #

Dropbox is a great way to sync files between machines while keeping a backup in the cloud. To set it up, select Install > Service > Dropbox from the Omarchy menu. Once it’s running, hover the tray in the top right of the bar and right-click the Dropbox icon to finish the setup.

Tailscale #

Tailscale is a mesh VPN that makes getting access to all your computers and servers over the internet securely super simple. To set it up, select Install > Service > Tailscale from the Omarchy menu.

It gets a panel in the bar, a web app for the admin console, and Taildrop for sending files between your machines — see networking.

ONCE #

ONCE is 37signals’ line of software you buy once and run on your own server, like the Campfire chat system. Select Install > Service > ONCE from the Omarchy menu to install it, which enables its background service and drops you into the ONCE terminal interface to take it from there.

NordVPN #

NordVPN is a standard VPN service that lets you exit your traffic from most regions around the world. To set it up, select Install > Service > NordVPN from the Omarchy menu. After the reboot it asks for, run nordvpn login to authenticate.
