v0.1.0-preview.1

The first public preview of CommandDeck, a keyboard-first command palette
and launcher for Omarchy and Hyprland. Press Ctrl+Space, type, and act.

Note

This is a preview. Expect rough edges, and please
report problems. The
extension SDK and the standalone Hyprland host are experimental.

What's in this release

One search for the desktop

  • Find apps, files and file text, Hyprland config keys, windows and workspaces,
    Omarchy menu actions, user services and timers, your processes, desktop
    controls, projects, snippets, quicklinks, time zones, emoji, and web search.
    PDF and document text is searched when pdftotext or pandoc is installed
    and you turn it on.
  • A prefix limits the search to one source: app:, file:, text:, cfg:,
    oma:, win:, ws:, herdr:, htab:, clip:, snip:, proj:, ctl:,
    kill:, svc:, link:, web:, tz:, emoji:, ai:, hey:, browse:,
    and script:. Combine and exclude them, for example
    file: app: roadmap -workspaces:. Press ? to see them all.
  • Top Matches come first, then results grouped by source. Ranking learns from
    what you open, on your computer only, and you can turn that off. Mark
    favorites, give results aliases, hide results, save searches with their own
    shortcut, and add filter aliases. Why this result? explains the order.

Made for Omarchy and Hyprland

  • The launcher uses the colors of the active Omarchy theme.
  • oma: searches Omarchy's whole menu. Submenus open in place, and toggles show
    their current state.
  • Hyprland and Omarchy config keys open in your editor at their file and line.
    Choose a graphical or a terminal editor in Settings.
  • Windows and workspaces are searchable, with optional previews.
  • Herdr: herdr: finds spaces and tabs,
    htab: finds tabs and shows which agent tabs need attention, and Enter jumps
    there.

Calculator

  • Type 100 * 5, 100 km to miles, 100 usd to eur (daily ECB rates), or
    days until 11 sep. The result appears as you type, without a prefix.
  • Start with = for the full calculator. Enter copies the result.

Do things, not only open them

  • > runs any program without a shell, for example > htop.
  • Ctrl+K shows the actions for a result. Ctrl+1 to Ctrl+9 run a
    numbered result.
  • Desktop controls: volume, media keys, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, the color picker, and
    window placement such as left half (ctl:).
  • kill: lists your processes, largest first. Terminate or force kill one after
    you confirm.
  • svc: lists your user services and timers: show the status and recent logs,
    start, stop, or restart a unit after you confirm, or edit it.
  • Snippets and templates with named inputs, script commands from
    *.commanddeck.json manifests with their output shown in the launcher,
    browse: for folder navigation, and commanddeck pick, a picker for your own
    scripts.
  • Clipboard history, off until you turn it on: text, links, images, and files,
    with pins and keywords.
  • HEY mail search and triage with hey:, when the HEY command line tool is
    installed.

Optional AI, off until you turn it on

  • Direct providers: Ollama or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Before anything
    is sent, CommandDeck shows the exact request and asks you to confirm it.
  • Embedded assistant: ai:, codex:, claude:, cursor:, or grok: talks
    to your local Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, or Grok command line tool inside the
    launcher. The daemon enforces the trust level that you choose, and tools run
    only after you confirm them.
  • Prompt templates, and an optional package helper, installed separately, for
    pacman changes with an exact preview and Polkit authorization.

Settings

  • Ctrl+, opens Settings inside the launcher, with six pages that you can
    search: Search, AI, Editors, Filters, Shortcuts, and Customization.
  • Display size, panel width and height, compact layout, the preview pane,
    transparency, favorites, and source order apply at once.

Extensions (experimental)

  • C# extensions run as separate processes in a Bubblewrap sandbox, with the
    permissions that you grant. The SDK and a test kit are included, and
    commanddeck extensions manages local packages.

Command line

  • commanddeck search, suggest, status, doctor, reindex, index,
    catalog, preferences, quicklinks, saved-search, filters, hotkey,
    ai, and pick. commanddeck --help lists every command.

Private and fast

  • No telemetry. AI, clipboard history, search history, and extensions stay off
    until you turn them on. Everything is stored on your computer.
  • A Native AOT C# daemon keeps an SQLite FTS5 index. In our measurements, the
    window opens in about 25 ms (median, from the shortcut to the visible window).
  • commanddeck doctor checks the installation, the hotkey, and the index.

Requirements

  • Omarchy with shell plugins on Hyprland, a systemd user session, jq, icu,
    and glibc 2.39 or later.
  • Builds for linux-x64 and linux-arm64. This is the first linux-arm64
    build: it is built and smoke-tested in CI, but it has not run on ARM hardware
    yet, so please report what you find.

Known issues

  • The assistant's answer can appear in the launcher a few seconds after the
    assistant has finished, and the footer can keep showing "Asking Codex…"
    afterwards.

Install (no .NET needed)

Run these commands in your Omarchy session. On an ARM computer, use
linux-arm64 instead of linux-x64.

curl -fLO https://github.com/devmobasa/CommandDeck/releases/download/v0.1.0-preview.1/commanddeck-v0.1.0-preview.1-linux-x64.tar.gz
curl -fLO https://github.com/devmobasa/CommandDeck/releases/download/v0.1.0-preview.1/commanddeck-v0.1.0-preview.1-linux-x64.tar.gz.sha256
sha256sum -c commanddeck-v0.1.0-preview.1-linux-x64.tar.gz.sha256
tar -xzf commanddeck-v0.1.0-preview.1-linux-x64.tar.gz
cd commanddeck-v0.1.0-preview.1-linux-x64
./install.sh

The installer needs Omarchy with shell plugins on Hyprland, a systemd
user session, jq, icu, and glibc 2.39 or later. Run
./install.sh --dry-run first to check them. It changes nothing.

To update, install the new release in the same way. Your configuration
is kept. The installation guide
tells how to uninstall.
