Tool Open source
Try Omarchy is a macOS application that runs the upstream Omarchy desktop on Apple Silicon Macs without manual setup. It packages a project-built ARM64 Arch Linux image configured with Omarchy Quattro, a QEMU runtime using Apple's Hypervisor Framework, and a Swift/AppKit launcher. The guest image is built from pinned Arch Linux ARM packages and a pinned Omarchy source revision, with temporary fixes recorded by hash in the guest build specification.
The application provides hardware-accelerated ARM64 virtualization and VirGL graphics, a resizable native window with automatic guest-resolution and HiDPI updates, Mac audio input and output selection, two-way clipboard sharing for text and PNG images, one optional shared Mac folder, and loopback-only TCP and UDP port forwarding from macOS into Omarchy. It is distributed as a signed and notarized DMG, and the first launch provisions the Linux account and guest environment. Video decoding is currently CPU-only, which can make high-resolution playback slow. Try Omarchy is not official or affiliated with Omarchy.
