What is it?

oma-cast is a keyboard-driven launcher for Omarchy, the Hyprland-based Linux setup. It searches installed apps, all of Omarchy's menu actions with breadcrumbs and live state, and web-search fallbacks from one input box. Results are ranked using a port of Raycast's root-search algorithm, combined with frecency and learned search terms, so frequently used items move up over time.

Users can add aliases, pin favorites, hide unused commands, and use a Ctrl+K action panel, quick picks on Ctrl+1 to 9, and search history. The launcher runs inside omarchy-shell as a plugin, follows the active Omarchy theme, and uses no Electron, Node runtime or extra daemons. An action can hand a typed question to the default coding agent configured in Omarchy, which opens a new session in the configured terminal.

The project is an independent clean-room implementation with no Raycast code or assets, and it sends no telemetry. It is early-stage; settings UI, script commands, clipboard history and window management are listed as planned.
