Obsidian
Obsidian is a free and highly extensible note taking application that uses simple Markdown files for storage.
Obsidian is free for all purposes, including personal, commercial, and non-profit use.
Obsidian also offers a commercial add-on for syncing with mobile apps on iOS and Android. (https://obsidian.md/pricing).
You start Obsidian with Super + Shift + O. To use theme syncing, you must select the Omarchy theme under settings.
Omawrite
Omawrite is Omarchy's own dead-simple Markdown writing app. No vaults, no plugins, just you and the words.
You start Omawrite with Super + Shift + W.
Pinta
Pinta is a basic image editing tool that's great for cropping, resizing, and other basic manipulations. Just don't expect a Photoshop alternative. But it's still got a Magic Wand and layers!
You start Pinta via the application launcher (Super + Space).
Aether
Aether is a theming application that can extract colors from a background image and turn them into a complete, cohesive theme. It's the easiest way to make your own theme.
You start Aether via the application launcher (Super + Space).
LocalSend
LocalSend lets you send files to other devices on the same network running the app, like Apple's AirDrop. It's cross-platform, though, so you can send files to and from Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, and of course Linux.
You can open the LocalSend menu on Super + Ctrl + S or under Trigger > Share in the Omarchy menu.
LibreOffice
LibreOffice is a complete office package with word processor, spreadsheet, presentations, drawing application, and more. It's compatible with files from Microsoft Office, so this is a great way to be able to open those Word documents.
You start LibreOffice via the application launcher (Super + Space).
Omacalc
Omacalc is Omarchy's own dead-simple calculator, which opens in a floating window.
You start Omacalc with Super + Ctrl + Q (or the calculator key, if your keyboard has one).
Signal
Signal is the pioneer of E2E encrypted messaging, and a great communication option for anyone who'd prefer not to go through one of the big tech conglomerates.
You start Signal with Super + Shift + G. It's not part of the base install, so the first time you hit that, Omarchy will offer to install it for you (it's also under Install > Service in the Omarchy menu).
mpv
mpv is a simple, fast media player that'll play almost anything from any source. Great for watching videos.
You start mpv via the application launcher (Super + Space) or just double-click on a video in the file manager.
OBS Studio
OBS Studio lets you record or stream video from multiple inputs. You can mix a screencast with a webcam with a microphone input. It's what was used to record the Omarchy screencasts.
You start OBS Studio via the application launcher (Super + Space).
Kdenlive
Kdenlive is an excellent video editor. Perfect for working on video that comes out of OBS Studio before sharing it.
You start Kdenlive via the application launcher (Super + Space).
Omacut
Omacut is Omarchy's own dead-simple video trimmer. When all you need is to cut the start and end off a clip, it beats firing up a full video editor.
You start Omacut via the application launcher (Super + Space).
