Infomarchy

Install

Three commands, copied from the project README.

sudo pacman -S --needed bun   # the collector runs on bun; Omarchy does not ship it
omarchy plugin add https://github.com/nixfred/infomarchy.git --enable --yes
omarchy restart shell    # first time only: services load at shell start

Requirements

• Omarchy Quattro with third-party shell plugin support
• bun (not part of the Omarchy base install)
• iw, iproute2, and ping

Optional: nvidia-smi for the GPU row, the authenticated GitHub CLI (gh) for the latest CI result and the GitHub heatmap, the omarchy.agents bar widget for the usage card, and Ollama for the local AI card.

If bun is missing, the desk says so in red at the top and in the sessions card. It fills in on the next refresh after you install bun, with no restart needed.

Ready for Omarchy 4.5: it reads the usage record from every agent collector Omarchy 4.5 ships. It also works on Qt 6.12.

What it looks like

Features

• Agents

  Live AI sessions

  One card per running agent: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Grok, Gemini, Hermes, opencode, aider, Ollama chats. They are detected straight from /proc, with no agent-side hooks and nothing to configure. The dot pulses while the agent is thinking.

• Limits

  Usage and limits

  Session (5-hour) and weekly (7-day) rate limit meters with time to reset, plus today's prompt count and token volume. Meters turn yellow past 60% and red past 85%. It reuses the cache from Omarchy's own omarchy.agents widget, so there are no extra logins and no API keys.

• History

  Activity and recent tasks

  An hour by hour heatmap of the last 7 days of prompts across every provider. Below it, the newest prompts from all providers. Click a task from a running session to jump to its terminal.

• Machine

  Machine stats

  CPU, RAM, disk, Wi-Fi, WAN, live throughput, ping latency and battery. Any meter goes red when it is in real trouble.

• Remote hosts

  Hermes hosts

  A read-only card for remote Hermes agent hosts. Each row shows whether the host is connected, its current task, and any pending approvals. Rows dim after 5 minutes without fresh data and turn red after 30. Unreachable hosts are flagged. Nothing on the card can approve, deny or control a host.

• Desktop

  Follows your theme

  There are no colors in the plugin. It reads your active Omarchy theme, so switching themes re-skins the desk in place. After you add the shortcuts from the README, SUPER + I hides the cards to show your plain wallpaper, and again to bring them back.

  Added Antigravity (agy) as a recognised agent provider. Also removed an accidentally committed node_modules symlink that made plugin updates fail validation.

  Pull requests #24 #27

• Augustin Bralley@auggernaut

  2 merged pull requests

  Added the optional APPS module, which registers local development servers and manages them as systemd user services. Also made the SUPER+I shortcut setup explicit in the README.

  Added Kimi Code as a tracked agent provider. Also made the desk stay clear of reserved background bands such as the hymission stage sidebar.

  Pull requests #32 #31

• John Trainor@jttraino

  2 merged pull requests

  Added Cursor session detection from both the terminal and the Cursor IDE. Also grouped quiet agents of one kind into a single card, so a long Grok Bot roster no longer crowds the desk.

  Pull requests #34 #33

• Reverb@reverb256

  2 merged pull requests

  Fixed live Hermes session detection when Hermes is launched as python -m hermes_cli.main. Also made the desk refresh sooner by watching Hermes state files on top of the regular poll.

  Pull request #40

• Greg@eternal4430

  Built the FLEET card, which shows AI agents running on other machines over SSH. Also read Hermes and OpenRouter usage into the Usage and Limits card.

  Added FLEET sessions, which show which agent on a remote host is waiting on you and give a one click jump to it.

  Pull request #37

• Casey Shields@shieldsworks

  Added a setting that pins the desk to one workspace while the wallpaper stays on all of them.

  Pull request #38

• sooners0@sooners0

In the wild

Public posts on X from people who use it, quoted word for word. A few are excerpts of a longer post.

• I use the Infomarchy plugin from @NixFred to visualize my bots (and he PR'd my collapsed mode contribution ...)

• Seeing the subscription burn right next to the running agents is the useful part. Most people have no idea what their agents cost until the bill shows up.

• wallpaper as agent status board is the correct 2026 desktop. pulsing dots > dock icons.

• Infomarchy is a great tool for anyone wanting to keep track of their agents on Omarchy. Another great product from @NixFred.

• I'm still using 5 or 6 harnesses like a crazy person, before Infomarchy a reboot was a nightmare and now i just click back into anything and everything!

• dear god, this is so freaking cool. i am happy that i lived long enough to see computers become fun again.... while still being useful. thanks for your work, adding now

• My favorite plugin. This one is a must-have.

• the sub burn widget is the part i'd stare at all day

• I run Infomarchy on my Omarchy installs. You should too
