Configuration & Environment Variables

Configuration & Environment Variables ⚙️

OmniPress is designed to be zero-friction. Without any credentials configured, it safely archives Markdown articles locally and outputs formatted social copy directly into your AI agent's chat interface.

To enable automated dispatch to LinkedIn, X, Meta Threads, Reddit, or Webhooks, configure a .env file in the project root.
