What it does only here

Built for, tested on and tailored to Omarchy

01_the_launcher

Your whole library, one shortcut away

meta+ctrl+G. Type three letters. Enter. It plays. No window first, nothing to click.

The launcher overlay open over the desktop, one keyboard shortcut away.
Cover, genre, year, hours played, and a short description.

It searches games and the app's own actions in one list, so “quake” and “storage” are the same gesture. Games you own but haven't installed show up too, and Enter opens the page with the Install button on it.

The overlay never launches anything itself, it asks the app. So a launch keeps the store picker, the “which engine?” questions and the install check, exactly as if you'd pressed Play.

02_the_bar

A widget that knows what you're playing

Installed count when nothing's running, the game's name when something is. Click for a menu to the library, the big screen face, storage and the Control Panel.

03_the_theme_bridge

It wears the theme you already chose

Clarity uses the theme Omarchy is using right now. Apply a new one and the app wears it too. The same colours, not an approximation.

The theme picker, with Your Desktop at the top holding your Omarchy colours.
Your Desktop sits at the top of the picker, above the app's own themes.

The 93 themes that ship with the app are still there. Both faces draw from the same set, so a look follows you to the big screen.

04_games_open_properly

Fullscreen, on the right screen

Under a tiler a game normally gets squeezed into a free slot and resized, a second before it goes fullscreen anyway. Here games open fullscreen from the first frame, on the monitor you picked, at the resolution you expect.

05_the_plugin

Getting it

The bar widget and the launcher are a companion plugin, about seventy kilobytes, so it needs Clarity installed. Without it, it says so and offers to fetch it in a terminal you can watch.

⚠ Not published yet

Built and in daily testing, not on Omarchy's plugin marketplace yet. It goes out with 2.0.
