Web Apps
You can add your own web apps using Install > Web App in the Omarchy menu (Super + Space). It'll ask you for the app name, app URL, and the icon URL, if it can't retrieve it via favicon. You can get great PNG icons for many popular web apps on Dashboard Icons.
They'll then be accessible through the app launcher (Super + Space), and use the beautiful frameless web-app window.
If you wish to remove a web app, just go to Remove > Web App in the Omarchy menu.
It's best if you log into all your accounts using a regular browser before using the web app shortcuts. The thin wrapper frame doesn't work well with 1password, so just easier to be logged in directly first.
All the keyboard hotkeys for these web apps can be changed in ~/.config/hypr/bindings.lua.
When you're in a web app, you can copy the current URL to the clipboard using Shift + Alt + L.
By default, Omarchy already ships with an assortment of default apps:
HEY
HEY is an email and calendar service that serves as a great alternative to people tired of Gmail, Outlook, or Apple Mail. It's made by 37signals where Omarchy originated.
You can start HEY Email using Super + Shift + E, jump straight to composing a new email using Super + Shift + Alt + E, and start HEY Calendar using Super + Shift + C.
Basecamp
Basecamp is a project management service that helps small teams move faster and make more progress. Instead of patching together a mishmash of Trello, Slack, Asana, Notion, or whatever, you can have it all in one place with Basecamp. It's made by 37signals where Omarchy originated.
You can start Basecamp using the application launcher (Super + Space)
ChatGPT
ChatGPT is the most popular AI chat bot in the world.
You can start ChatGPT using Super + Shift + A.
Grok
Grok is xAI's chat bot.
You can start Grok using Super + Shift + Alt + A.
WhatsApp is one of the most popular messaging services in the world, and the web version is a great option for Linux.
You can start WhatsApp using Super + Shift + Alt + G.
Google apps
Google Messages, Google Photos, Google Maps, and Google Contacts are all included as web apps too.
You can start Google Messages using Super + Shift + Ctrl + G, Google Photos using Super + Shift + P, and Google Maps using Super + Shift + S. Google Contacts is available through the app launcher (Super + Space).
X
X is where news break.
You can start X using Super + Shift + X and go straight to writing a new post with Super + Shift + Alt + X.
YouTube
YouTube is the most popular video platform in the world.
You can start YouTube using Super + Shift + Y.
Zoom
Zoom is the most popular video chat system used in the US. Great connections across the world. And 40-minute meetings can be held without a paying account. Omarchy wraps Zoom's web client, and zoom meeting links will open straight into it.
You start Zoom using the application launcher (Super + Space).
Discord
Discord is where most gaming and open source communities hang out, including Omarchy's own.
You start Discord using the application launcher (Super + Space).
Microsoft apps
Select Install > Service > Microsoft to add Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, and OneDrive as web apps. Each app has its own launcher and opens directly, using the commercial Microsoft 365 URLs and your existing browser profile. They open in the same browser app windows as Omarchy's other web apps; they do not install the separate Teams for Linux client.
Remove the bundle with Remove > Service > Microsoft, or remove individual apps with Remove > Web App. You can also install just the apps you want through Install > Web App.
For a government or sovereign cloud, edit the URL on the Exec= line in the relevant launcher under ~/.local/share/applications/, such as Microsoft Teams.desktop, using the URL supplied by your organization. Write any literal % in that line as %%. Changes apply on the next launch. Running the bundle installer again replaces its launchers with the default URLs.
To keep work sign-ins separate, append a browser data directory to each launcher's Exec= line:
Exec=omarchy-launch-webapp "https://teams.cloud.microsoft/" --user-data-dir=/absolute/path/to/work-browser-profile
Replace the example directory with an absolute path of your choice and use the same path for all six launchers to share work sign-ins between them. The web apps use Omarchy's selected supported browser, falling back to Chromium when the default browser is unsupported.
