If You Use AI, Switch to Omarchy Immediately
A tour of the open source, AI-first Linux desktop that lets you edit the operating system itself just by asking an agent.
August 28thThe argument in one line.
Omarchy is a free, open-source Linux distro built AI-first, with every major AI agent pre-installed and the OS's own code editable by prompting an agent instead of writing systems software.
Read if. Skip if.
READ IF YOU ARE…
- You already run multiple AI coding agents (Claude, Codex, Hermes) at once and want a way to see all of them without alt-tabbing between terminals.
- You're open to a keyboard-driven tiling window manager instead of floating, overlapping windows.
- You want to customize your operating system by describing a change to an AI agent rather than writing C++ or systems code.
- You're curious what a Linux distro looks like once it's designed specifically for people who live inside AI tools all day.
SKIP IF…
- You depend on specific Windows/Mac-only software (Adobe Creative Suite, niche enterprise tools) with no Linux equivalent.
- You've never used Linux and aren't ready to relearn basic window management, even with an easy install.
The full version, fast.
Omarchy is a free, open-source Linux distribution built AI-first: every major AI agent (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Hermes, Grok) comes pre-installed as a full-screen app, the desktop is keyboard-driven and tiling instead of floating windows, and because the OS itself is open source, you can prompt any AI agent to build new features directly into it. The creator demos two things he built this way: Herder HUD, a floating widget that shows every AI agent's status across projects, and Grove, a gamified social-media blocker. The takeaway: install takes under five minutes on almost any hardware, runs the full Steam/Battle.net game library, and the real value is treating the OS as programmable surface rather than a fixed shell around your apps.

Cold open: full switch from Mac and Windows to Omarchy, promise of a complete setup tour.
00:37 – 02:23
02 · Why Omarchy is so good
Free, open-source, AI-first, beautiful, and easy to use even without prior Linux experience.
02:23 – 03:48
03 · How to install
Runs on almost any hardware (down to a decade-old iPod touch); install by handing a USB drive and the goal to an AI agent.
03:48 – 09:03
04 · How to use it
Home screen, Super-key keybinds, live theme switching across every app, and tiling windows instead of floating ones.
09:03 – 19:36
05 · My advanced workflows
Builds Herder HUD (floating multi-agent dashboard) and Grove (gamified focus blocker) live by prompting an agent; covers workspaces, web-app installs, and the plugin marketplace.
19:36 – 21:21
06 · Playing games
Full Steam/Battle.net compatibility; plays World of Warcraft while agents keep working via Herder HUD.
Lines worth screenshotting.
- Omarchy ships with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Grok, and Hermes pre-installed as full-screen apps, not browser tabs.
- The entire operating system is open source, so any AI coding agent can rewrite or extend it on request.
- Tiling windows force only the apps you're actively using to stay open, replacing the floating-window pileup that builds up on Mac or Windows after 15 minutes.
- One modifier key (Super, equivalent to Windows key or Command) plus a letter triggers nearly every action in the OS.
- Switching themes restyles every open app at once, including the terminal, because the whole desktop shares one design system.
- A creator built a custom floating dashboard, Herder HUD, into the OS in about 10 minutes by prompting an AI agent, with no C++ or systems programming.
- Workspaces are bound to specific tasks (one always holds a chatbot, one always holds a browser) and switch instantly with a keybind, cutting the time spent hunting for the right open window.
- Any website can be installed as a full, borderless desktop app with no separate development work.
- A public plugin marketplace lets anyone publish an OS feature they built for themselves so the whole community can install it.
- Full Steam and Battle.net compatibility removes the historical reason power users avoided switching off Windows.
- Omarchy reportedly runs on hardware as old as a decade-plus-old iPod touch, so the switching cost is mainly time, not new hardware.
- Gamifying a distraction block, planting a virtual tree per completed focus session, was enough of a dopamine substitute to make a habitual social-media scroller actually stop.
Treat the OS as programmable surface, not a fixed shell
AGENT-NATIVE OS
Once every AI agent lives inside the operating system itself instead of a browser tab, changing how your computer works becomes a prompt away rather than a coding project.
02Why Omarchy is so good
- An operating system built by AI power users bakes every agent (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Hermes) into the OS as a full-screen app instead of a browser tab you alt-tab to.
- Full-screen, borderless app windows plus enforced tiling remove the many-windows pileup that floating window managers create after even 15 minutes of real work.
- Being open source means the operating system itself is a codebase you can hand to an agent and ask it to change, not just the apps running on top of it.
03How to install
- Hardware is no longer the blocker for trying a new OS: it reportedly runs on decade-plus-old hardware, so the real cost of switching is time, not a new machine.
- The install process itself can be delegated to an AI agent: describe the goal ('flash this USB drive and walk me through install') and let the agent execute the steps.
04How to use it
- Keyboard-driven keybinds, one modifier key plus a letter, replace mouse-hunting through menus, which is the actual productivity unlock, not the OS's visual polish.
- Theme switching that restyles every open app at once signals one shared design system underneath, something bolted-on Windows themes and Mac wallpaper swaps don't do.
- Tiling windows force you to keep open only what you're actively using, working as a forcing function for focus rather than a cosmetic preference.
05My advanced workflows
- A plugin that surfaces every running AI agent's status in one floating widget solves the real pain of multi-agent work: losing track of what's actually running and where.
- Building a new OS feature becomes a one-sentence prompt to a coding agent ('build me a plugin that does X') instead of a C++ or systems-programming project.
- Gamifying a distraction block (planting a tree per focus session) is a cheap dopamine substitute that made a habitual doomscroller actually stick to the block.
- A public plugin marketplace turns a personal fix into shared infrastructure: build a plugin for yourself once, publish it, and anyone can install it.
06Playing games
- Full game compatibility (Steam, Battle.net) removes the last historical reason power users avoided Linux, closing the compatibility gap that used to make switching a real tradeoff.
- Layering a productivity tool over leisure time (agents still working while gaming) reduces guilt about downtime rather than eliminating the downtime itself.
Terms worth knowing.
- Omarchy
- A free, open-source Linux distribution built around AI agents and a keyboard-driven tiling window manager, positioned as an operating system for AI power users.
- Tiling window manager
- A window manager that automatically arranges open windows side by side in a full-screen grid instead of letting them float and stack on top of each other.
- Super key
- The keyboard modifier key used to trigger almost every action in Omarchy; it's the Windows key on a PC keyboard or the Command key on a Mac keyboard.
- Workspace
- A dedicated virtual desktop tied to one task or app (a chatbot, a browser, a music player) that you jump to instantly with a keybind instead of searching for an open window.
- Herder
- A free, open-source tool for managing many AI coding agents at once from the terminal; the creator built a custom always-visible dashboard for it inside Omarchy.
- Plugin marketplace
- A built-in app store of community-built Omarchy add-ons, open to anyone since the underlying operating system is open source.

metaphor
That's it. I'm fully switched over. I am done with Mac.
I am done with Windows. I have 100 % switched over to Omachi. I have an Omachi desktop now, an Omachi laptop.
If you use AI, this is the best operating system on planet Earth. This is as good as it gets. It is an AI user's dream.
In this video, I'm going to cover it all. Why Omachi? All the cool things I'm doing with it.
I'm going to demo everything I've done so far. Even if you've watched other Omachi videos, I'm going to show you some really... amazing things in here.
I'm about to take you through my entire setup. I'm going to show you what devices you need, how to install it, first things you should do, tips and tricks, all of that. Let's just start with why this is so good, why I've been absolutely addicted the last three weeks, and why I am just, like, it feels archaic using Mac and Windows now.
Like, . Omachi is a free, open -source operating system. It is a distro of Linux.
Don't worry about it. It's super easy. This is not like complicated, you know, deep tech stuff.
It is an operating system, which I'm showing you right now on your screen. That is AI first. AI is built into everything.
I'm going to show you that as well. It's like, it's mind blowing. It's like, why hasn't Mac or Windows built AI this deep and everything yet?
I'll show you in a second. It's beautiful. It is an absolutely beautiful operating system to use.
As I take you through it, I promise you will be bought into that. It is productive. I've never gotten so much done.
my entire life. Like if you do any sort of work on your computer, you are going to get so much more done in Omachi. It is fun and it is easy to use.
You don't need to be a Linux dork. Last time I made a video on Omachi, I think half my comment section was, dude found his first Linux distro. Look at this dude go.
Wannabe, wannabe. You don't need to be a dork. You don't need to have used Linux before.
It's fun and easy to use. I'll show you how. You're just going to have fun.
This is like the number one message I'm trying to have in my videos. Now, you are allowed to have fun with the tools you use. I am going to show you tools that are fun to use.
Omachi is one of those really fun tools to use. You're allowed to have fun in 2026. So let's dive into this operating.
I told you why it's amazing. Now let's talk about how to install it, what computers you need, things like that. Then I'll take you through all the magic, all the AI magic in here.
All right, so real quick before we go through everything I'm doing, all the cool things. computer do you need? Literally anything.
I'm not joking. I went to an Omachi meetup in San Francisco a couple of weeks ago. A dude was running it on his iPod touch.
I'm not kidding. His iPod touch from like 12 years ago. First of all, I was shocked by how small those things were.
We were so used to phones that are just like mega size. Now this thing was like this big. It was running Omachi on it.
Literally anything. Go to your closet, pull out your old college laptop, pull out your Nintendo switch one, right? If you have a Nintendo switch, one in your closet, pull it out.
You can install Omachi on it. I'm not kidding. And then how do you install it is really, really simple.
It literally took me under five minutes. Get a USB drive. I have all my USB drives buried at the bottom of like a Tupperware container in my closet.
I did not feel like going through that Tupperware container. So I went to Best Buy and bought like a $30 USB drive. Bring that home, plug that into any computer you have, any computer that has an AI agent on it.
chat gbt work hermes open claw clod code doesn't matter plug it into that computer go to that agent and say hey i want to install amachi on another computer uh please flash it onto this usb drive then walk me through installing it basically what's going to tell you to do is okay take the usb drive out put it in your other computer hold like f12 while it turns on and you're good to go it's that simple it's that easy you don't need any sort of tech knowledge it took me legitimately under five minutes to do all right enough of that enough of that walkthrough enough of this set up you're good to go it's that easy i'm not like being hyperbolic it's that easy to set up now let's talk about how to use it all the cool things i'm doing why it's so amazing why you need an ai first operating system and for the record the people that are going into the comment section right now and saying hey you're a paid shill they're paying you to show this if you think free open source companies are paying influencers to talk about their products.
You're absolutely insane in the membrane. I just want to put that out there. No one is paying me.
Believe it or not, someone can be passionate about products and talk about it. Anyway, here we go. This is my home screen.
This is what it looks like. I chose the theme Osaka nights because I think it's beautiful. And this is my absolute favorite color in the world.
I went to Japan several months ago. I thought it was beautiful. This reminded me of Japan.
This is it. gorgeous Operating system everything just feels and looks so nice. What do you need to know?
We're gonna go through a couple of basics So we're gonna go over a couple of things you talked about last video Then we'll go to the advanced stuff. All you need to know about Omachi is it's built for the keyboard It's all about the key binds The main key you need to know is the super key if you use a Mac keyboard That is the command button if you use a Windows PC It is the Windows key All you have to do is you hold super and then another key and that does all your different key binds.
It is all about keybinds, but they're super easy to use. I'll go through all the keybinds you need to know in a second, but let me just show you how beautiful this operating system is.
Here are all your different themes. You can choose any of these and they're super easy to use. It's just like a quick keybind takes you to the different themes.
I like Tokyo night a lot. Boom, you hit it, changes the entire operating system, the way it looks, even the way the apps look. Like if I open up right now, my terminal, my terminal is now styled like whatever background I use.
Every app you open, inside Omachi when you change your theme will now match that theme. So if I go back here, I like solitude a lot.
Solitude's a nice one. It's a nice black and white monotone theme. Boom, the entire terminal's black and white now.
It's just super beautiful. I was never like an aesthetics guy, and now I'm an aesthetics guy after using this. If you do super W, closes out whatever app you're in.
Maybe I'll keep this theme. But let's talk about why it's so amazing. AI is integrated into absolutely everything.
Built right in, it tells... you how many tokens you use. I've been using Astra six times.
You can see about a billion tokens in the last week. I'm super into it. It is integrated into literally everything.
Anytime you use any sort of AI in your computer, it'll count your tokens and you can see how many tokens you're using. If you go into the apps that are built in. So these are my apps that are here.
Most of these are built in. Chad GPT was built in. Claude was built in.
Cursor was built in. rock bot was built in hermes is built in you just open it up all your apps all your harnesses you need are there if you're super into terminal ghosty was built in it's like they know what the ai people like to use and they just built it in it's like clearly the first operating system built by people who use ai and if you're watching this channel i imagine you're one of those people because that's literally all i talk about if you're watching you either someone who really likes ai or just likes trolling in the comments for the people that like AI.
It truly feels like it's an operating system built by the same people as you. And when you open up these AI apps, you just click it open. You get this beautiful, like kind of borderless experience, because there's no like crowd of tons of app logos at the bottom or tons of crap at the top.
You just get this really nice full screen app experience. So you can hyper focus on the app you're using, right? This is another part of the reason why I've been so productive is when you're on Mac, when you're on Windows.
You use it for more than 15 minutes. If you're anything like me, you all of a sudden have 400 different windows floating on top of each other. And you're constantly searching for which one's which.
And you check back in a month and you look at your windows that are like all the way in the back. And it's like crap you were looking at like over a month ago, right? You never get that here because you get these beautiful full screen experiences.
So instead of having these floating windows, they really want you to tile. And what tiling is, is you basically just have windows and they don't go over each other. If I open up Claude next to this it automatically splits my screen in half Now if I want to go and I want to open my terminal boom It splits the screen further right opens up the terminal now if I want to open up another terminal I hit the terminal key bind which is super enter boom another terminal opens up Boom, another terminal opens up and it splits your screen continuously.
Nothing sits on top of each other. You only have open exactly what you want to use. And because it starts to kind of crowd your screen like this, if you open up a ton of apps, it kind of naturally forces you to only have open what you want open, which for me has made me like really, really productive.
Like it's increased my productivity a monster amount. So that's the basics of Omachi. If you watched my last Omachi video, Probably a couple of things repeated there, but I want to make sure everyone who watched is kind of on the same page.
Now that we're on the same page, let's get more advanced. Let me show you all the cool things I've been doing with AI in here. So because this is an open source operating system, right?
That means you can see all the code because you can see all the code. That means you can change all the code, meaning you can build and change any part of this operating system you want. Let me show you an example.
You see this floating H over here on the right. It's been on my. screen the entire time.
So I can actually move this age around. It floats over everything, right? Nothing covers up.
What is this floating age do? Well, this is built into the operating. I built this into the operating system.
And when I click that floating age, it shows me all of my AI agents that I have working for me right now. So I made this, it's called Herder HUD. It basically takes all my Herder agents.
For those who don't know, Herder is a way to manage tons of AI agents at once in your terminal. I basically built into my operating system, into Omachi, this floating button that allows me to at any point click it and see what my agents are doing no matter where I am, no matter what I'm doing. Oh, if you haven't used Herder yet, let me know, download.
You want a full video on Herder? Happy to do that. It's like the best way to manage AI agents ever.
Another free open source tool. Let me know down below if you're interested. I built this into the operating system.
No matter where I am, I can open it up and see what all my agents are doing right now. My Codex agents, my Claude agents, my Hermes agents, my OpenClaude agents. They're all working side by side.
Why is this important? Why did I want like a floating button that's always on screen? I'm going to be honest with you.
I'm a nerd. Like a big nerd. Like the type of guy that plays World of Warcraft Classic in the year 2026.
Sorry, I do it. I play Counter -Strike. I play World of Warcraft Classic.
I'm now on War Dogs. I play all these games. By the way, Omachi fully supports basically every game.
So if you're on Steam, you have a bunch of games. It basically supports all the games. I wanted a way, and now please don't unsubscribe from the channel, I wanted a way to play World of Warcraft while also being productive and managing all my agents.
And so I built Herder Hud, so this could float while I'm playing World of Warcraft, the H floats on the screen, and as I play, I can talk to my agents and build things. Does that make me a monster nerd? Yes.
But is this like a really awesome way to play video games and also be very, very productive? Also, yes, something that really wasn't possible in other operating systems. This is built in, so I just built it out.
By the way, would you watch me play World of Warcraft while building things with AI? I'm seriously considering bringing back live streams that I just play video games and build things at the same time. Let me know in the comments down below as well.
But... The question becomes, how did I build this? Okay, Alex, you built it into the operating system.
Cool, but is that like a really complex process? Do I need to know C++, C sharp programming in order to do that? No, as well.
It's super easy. Because AI is built into this operating system, you can simply go to any of your AI agents. Let's go to Hermes.
Let's go on the terminal, type Hermes, and I can say, build me out. A plugin for Omachi where I can message my agents in World of Warcraft. And you hit enter and your Hermes agent just builds it into the operating system.
Just writes the code and it's built in. Like, I don't know if that really lands kind of how amazing that is. But think of that for a second.
You ever use Windows and go, holy crap, this copilot stuff sucks. Or you ever use Mac and just be like, holy crap, this is like the most bloated operating system all the time. I wish I could change it.
Now you can. Now you can just open up any AI agent and just say, hey, change this about the operating system. And then it just changes it.
You just hit enter and then it changes in front of you. Like that's. Pretty incredible and mind -blowing and also quite clearly the future.
That is clearly the future where you can be using a computer and the entire experience around you while you're doing things is completely custom to you and what you need. That's what it is for me. I was playing World of Warcraft.
I'm like, damn, I wish I was productive right now. I feel really guilty. I wish I could be getting things done.
I went to my Hermes agent. I said, hey, Hermes, build into Omachi some way for me to manage my agents. while playing Warcraft.
10 minutes later, it was done, built into my operating system. I now can manage my agents wherever I want. That is incredible.
Other amazing things. I built a whole bunch of customization for my Omachi setup here. I built a plugin called Grove.
What is Grove? It is a way to focus. I, like probably many people, am absolutely addicted to social media.
I am scrolling X every five seconds. I cannot stop. It is ruining my entire life.
And so now I block it. I mean, this is pretty ironic coming from a guy who just told you he plays World of Warcraft. But anyway, so I built this into Omachi where I click a button.
I choose what tree I want to plant. I choose what amount of time I want to focus. I click start focus and a timer starts.
And while that timer is going, It blocks every social media site on my computer. Can't use any social media site.
And at the end, once the focus timer is done, it plants another tree in my virtual garden. Is that one of the stupidest things of all time? Yes.
Does it actually work? Yes. I'm actually able to focus.
For some reason, I'm super motivated to . It works. I built it in the operating system.
I'm now way more productive. Built -in to -do list. I have a built -in to -do list right here.
I click this. It has my to -dos. If I do super A, I can add.
a task really, really easily. It's just a fully integrated to -do list. I get things done really, really quick.
Any part of the operating system experience you don't like, or you don't want to change, you just go to your agent, Hermes, Codex, Chad, GBT, whatever it is. And you say, Hey, can you change this for me? And then it changed it.
Like you don't know how incredible that is. Until you just do it. You just got to do it.
It really is amazing. Here's another thing you need to know. And that is the kind of the idea of a workspace.
What are workspaces? So you can see at the top, I have a bunch of workspaces. You just hit super in the number.
It takes you to the different workspaces. Workspace one always has my grokbots. I go in, always have my grokbots there.
If I want to talk to a grokbot, all I need to do is hit super one. Boom, my grokbots show up. If I was on Mac OS, I'd have to go through my 20 different floating windows, or I'd need to move my mouse to the bottom and look through Google Maps, Apple TV, email, and the 40 ,000 other logos that are down there to find the Grokbot logo.
Right here, I want to talk Grokbot Super 1. My third workspace, always Chad GPT. If I want to get some work done, I go Chad GPT work.
Always super three, hit super three. I have Chad GPT work going for me. Always ready to build something for me.
Super two is my browser. I always add that separate because it's too distracting because of social media. Super four is my music.
I always got my music. This is CLI amp. This is like a really cool built -in music player built into Omachi.
It has like really cool visualizers, things like that. I'm listening to Linkin Park Lo -Fi. because I am a millennial stuck in the past.
If we look at number five, this is cursor. I've been playing around cursor lately. I really like their new projects feature.
The new projects feature is sick. So I've been using cursor. And then back to workspace seven, that's where I'm kind of playing around here.
You get used to workspaces and like you just become so much more productive. You really do become way more productive with tiling rather than floating windows. You want to do something.
You have a very purposeful workspace to do it in. You go there, you know, it's the workspace. You're gonna be doing specific tasks.
You don't go and open up X, open up Instagram, all this. You have your one app, you go in, you get work done. And that's why I've been so much more productive with this.
So I think. a fear a lot of people have when they think about moving to new operating systems like Omachi or any other Linux operating system is compatibility. Will my apps work?
Will I be able to use every app I'm using on my Mac or every app I'm using on my Windows? How about games? Can I play all my games?
Well, the answer is yes. As I said before, basically every AI app is built in and comes pre -installed. So if I hit super space, which brings up our kind of main menu, kind of finder inside Mac, you see all your apps you can install here.
Let's go back. You can see all your apps you have. As you see, I basically have all mine plus a bunch of games.
If you go down to install, you can see all the different apps you're able to install from here. So they have AI menu with every AI app you can think of. If you want to install any browse, they have all the browsers you can install.
Everything you need is here, including Steam if you want to install games, Hermes out of the box, Notion, Obsidian, Spotify, Telegram, everything. There's not a single app that I use on my Mac or Windows that's not available on here. And what's great is if they somehow don't have an app you want, say you want like an ESPN app or something like that, all you need to do is you can go install web app.
I can say, let's call this ESPN. I'm going to say ESPN .com. Now it's installed.
We'll go to a new workspace here. We'll open that up. So ESPN, open it up and you get a full kind of borderless app experience.
So it's like a full built -in app. Any website you can turn into this. You want to turn Gmail into an app?
You can do it. You want to turn your calendar app? You can do it.
Then you just pop it open. You get kind of this, you get this full app experience on your computer, which is amazing. So it really does have every single app you could possibly want here.
And the ones you don't, you install it as kind of your own custom app like this. And then you want to take it a step further. If you want to build your own app, you just go to your agent.
You open up Hermes. You say, hey, build me this out. builds it out.
You have a brand new app on your computer. Anything you want, because it's fully open source, because it's fully customizable, the AI will just build it for you. On top of that, there is an entire plugin marketplace with thousands of plugins available.
I even uploaded this as a plugin, my Herder HUD, if you want to download it. But they have this massive marketplace with all these different plugins people have built and released. It really is amazing.
You can see all your workspace overviews, whole bunch of other things in here. People are constantly shipping. It really is a very strong community, the Omachi community.
Highly recommend checking out the plugins as well. What's great is there's nothing to be gatekept here, because if you think of a plugin to build, you just go to your agent and say, hey, build this plugin and put it on the App Store, and it just goes there, and it's there. It's so easy to contribute to the community.
Lastly, games. Basically, every game works on it very, very well. You can have Steam.
You open up Steam. All the games you would play show up. You can install them, play them, anything you want.
It also has Battle .net, which is great. So I'll show you my favorite workflow here, what I sneaky like to do in the middle of the day. So you hop in a game, I'm playing the game, and I got my Herder HUD here.
Can go click in it, send some prompts to my agents, get some work done, have it working, get back to my game, get in here. I need to get closer. Get into a battle.
My agents are working the entire time.
And now you're being productive while you're gaming, which is now I don't feel as guilty when I'm gaming anymore. It's just like these little types of things that you can do on your computer to make it completely custom in your own, right? Anything you want to do, you want to code while you game, you can do it.
Anything you want to do, you can just do it. That's what makes Omachi so awesome. Again, I'm not being paid by these guys.
I'm just wildly passionate about it. It really has improved my life. And if I can get more people to like break out of their fear of using new operating systems or doing something with Linux and improve their lives.
That'll make me a very happy person. You learned anything at all, make sure to leave a like down below, subscribe, turn notifications, sign up for my newsletter. I got a free AI newsletter.
It's like the number one AI newsletter on planet earth. Link for that down below. What do you want me to cover next?
Got some new Hermes workflows. Happy to go through that. Want me to show more power tips for Omachi.
Want me to get back and chat GBT 5 .6 Astra. Let me know in the comments too. Hope this was helpful.
I cannot wait to see you in the next video. Thank you so much for watching. See you then.
The Hook
The bait, then the rug-pull.
Alex Finn opens by declaring he's fully abandoned Mac and Windows for Omarchy, a free open-source Linux distro he calls 'an AI user's dream.' What follows is 21 minutes of him proving it live: installing it, tiling windows with keybinds, and prompting an AI agent to build new OS features on the spot.
Named ideas worth stealing.

Herder HUD
A floating, always-on-top button he built into Omarchy that opens a dashboard of every AI agent (Claude, Codex, Hermes) running across every project, so status is checkable without alt-tabbing.

Grove
A gamified focus plugin: pick a tree, set a timer, click start, and every social media site is blocked until the timer ends, planting a tree in a virtual garden on completion.

VERBAL ASK

“leave a like down below, subscribe, turn notifications, sign up for my newsletter”
Stacked, casual sign-off ask rather than a hard mid-video pitch; the newsletter is framed as the AI-tools resource, not a separate offer.
