omacosy

The whole desktop idles at roughly 157MB. omacosy is omakase plus macOS plus cosy: an omarchy-style environment where windows tile under a real Super key using Hyprland's dwindle layout, focus follows the mouse, trackpad swipes move between workspaces, and a Mission Control style overview shows live previews. A status bar written for the setup runs the bar, popups, sliders and screen dimming in one process, and one theme switch reaches everything down to the wallpaper.

Most of it is small signed Swift binaries the installer compiles, because several existing tools are broken on macOS 26. Setup is a git clone into ~/.local/share/omacosy followed by install.sh, and the clone location matters, since macOS privacy rules stop launchd services reading Documents, Desktop and Downloads. The installer is idempotent and omacosy-update pulls and re-runs it, refusing a clone with local edits or a diverged branch rather than deciding for you. There is no background update check either, because the only network call in the whole setup is the weather in the bar. It is pre-1.0, every permission it asks for is documented one by one, and the author has only ever run it on one MacBook Pro with one external display.
