Update: Omarchy 4.5 Is Out, and It Runs on Apple Silicon

Leave a comment

An update to my Omarchy 4.5 RC3 post. The final release is out, Phoronix reports.

What’s new

  • First Omarchy release beyond x86_64. Apple Silicon is a main target (M1, M2, M3 and Neo MacBooks, building on Asahi Linux), plus NVIDIA N1X laptops and DGX Spark. Snapdragon X is coming
  • Floating workspaces with a dock
  • Five new default apps: Markdown presentations, Sugned for paperwork, Disktree for disk usage, Monologue for webcam recording and Gliff for remote desktop over SSH, plus Elsewhen as the world clock
  • Better Microsoft 365 web integration, Superwhisper as the default dictation engine, and faster installs

Remember the RC3 keybinding changes before you update.

My take

Omarchy on a MacBook is a big deal. Read the release notes on omarchy.org first.

Review before you install: read the release notes yourself, back up your config, and try new versions somewhere you can afford to break first.

God Bless, and Happy hacking!
