One switch turns the desktop into the job you are doing
An Omarchy plugin that moves apps, workspaces, notifications, audio, wallpaper and theme together, per mode.
The problem
Settling into deep work means the same ten steps every time. Close the chat apps, mute notifications, open the editor on the right workspace, change the wallpaper so it feels like a different room, drop the volume. Doing it by hand means most days you do not bother, and the work starts inside a desktop set up for something else.
What we built
Omara, listed on the Omarchy marketplace as Workspace Modes, makes a mode a real thing you can switch into. Coding, Deep Work and Gaming each carry their own apps, the workspaces those apps open on and in what layout, plus notification rules, audio, wallpaper, theme and any commands to run. One switch and the desktop is the one you wanted.
Set up from the desktop, not a config file
Modes are edited in a panel. Add an app, give it a workspace number or leave it blank so it opens wherever you are, reorder by dragging, and turn a mode off to hide it from the switcher without deleting it. There is a capture button that reads your current desktop back into a mode, which is almost always faster than describing it.
Yours to move
Modes import and export, so a setup is something you can back up, share with someone, or carry to another machine. Renaming a mode keeps its id, so the shortcuts pointing at it keep working.
Out in the open
MIT licensed, snapshot verified on the Omarchy marketplace, installed with one command. Built because the alternative was doing the same ten steps every morning.
