Omalauncher – Agentic Android Launcher

An Android home screen with the look of Omarchy, and an optional Arch Linux ARM system next to your phone apps. Omalauncher runs the system under proot, without root, and is its Wayland compositor: every Linux window opens as its own Android task, with its own card in Recents.

• Themes : all 22 Omarchy themes, with their wallpapers, applied to the launcher and to the Linux apps, plus the community themes fromomarchy.org/themes , or your own in~/.config/omarchy/themes
• Widgets written in OWL, a small declarative language you can edit on the phone, plus awidget store
• Linux, optional : pacman and the AUR, Linux apps in their own windows, terminal widgets, a file manager, and opt-in GPU acceleration on Mali GPUs
• Coding agents : the bar at the bottom sends a prompt to Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, opencode and others, which open in a terminal
• No account, no ads, no tracking

Needs an arm64 phone with Android 10 or newer. Without Linux, the launcher still has the themes, wallpapers, Android apps and the widgets that don't run commands.

The bar: the one input at the bottom of the home screen opens apps and asks coding agents. Focusing it opens the list of Linux and Android apps; typing narrows the list, and Enter opens the highlighted app or sends the text to the agent. Short queries that name an app open it, sentences go to the agent; Tab and the arrow keys move the highlight. Tap the agent's name to pick another installed one; the choice is saved in ~/.config/omalauncher/agent. Hold the mic to talk and release to send, or tap it to dictate into the field. Speech is recognized by Android (on the device when the phone supports it), so only text reaches Linux.

Touch input in Linux windows: tap is a left click, long press is a right click, drag scrolls; apps with touch support (foot, GTK) get real touch. Hardware keyboard shortcuts: Super+Enter (terminal), Super+Space or Super+A (the bar), Super+1..9 (home pages) on the home screen; Super+Enter and Super+W (close) in Linux windows.

./scripts/fetch-proot.sh          # Termux's proot -> app/src/main/jniLibs (needs bsdtar)
./gradlew :app:installDebug
adb push ArchLinuxARM-aarch64-latest.tar.gz /sdcard/Android/data/dev.omalauncher/files/

Tests: ./gradlew :owl:test :app:testDebugUnitTest. ./gradlew :owl:owlJar builds owl/build/cli/owl.jar, the checker the widget store's CI runs.

In debug builds you can launch guest commands with adb shell am start -n dev.omalauncher/.MainActivity --es exec foot.
