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.
