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 + /.

Typora #

Typora is a minimal, distraction-free writing tool in the same spirit as iA Writer for the Mac and Windows. Like Obsidian, it uses Markdown for formatting, but in a way that's focused on writing individual pieces or essays and very little else.

Best used in full screen mode (F11) for that totally immersive nothing-but-words look.

It comes with a 15-day free trial, and is then a $15 one-time cost.

You start Typora using the application launcher (Super + Space).

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.

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.

Tailscale #

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

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.
