Controls

`dot omarchy`

Opens the Omarchy desktop controls menu. Pass a submenu path to jump straight to it, or chain a path to execute an action directly.

dot omarchy              # open the controls menu (TUI)
dot omarchy theme        # jump to the Theme submenu
dot omarchy theme set    # execute theme set directly

Power profiles

Power-profile control has two entrypoints:

dot omarchy power opens the Omarchy power-profile submenu from the dot TUI.
SUPER+CTRL+P runs power-profile-menu, a Walker picker that shows the current profile and selects one of the profiles reported by omarchy-powerprofiles-list.

The menu writes the selected profile with powerprofilesctl set, so the available choices and final state come from power-profiles-daemon rather than a dot-specific state file.

Laptop automation

The laptop Hypr host starts power-profile-daemon from ~/.config/hypr/host/autostart.conf. It replaces Omarchy’s AC udev auto-switching, which otherwise forces performance on AC.

On laptops, the daemon keeps the profile conservative by default:

Startup sets balanced, unless the machine is on battery during the 01:00-07:00 local night window or below 20% battery.
Unplugging from AC drops performance to balanced; it leaves existing balanced and power-saver choices alone.
Plugging into AC relaxes power-saver back to balanced; it leaves balanced and performance alone.
While on battery, the daemon switches to power-saver once when the night window starts or when battery drops below 20%.
Manual changes after an automatic night switch are respected. At the end of the night window, the daemon only returns to balanced if it is still on the auto-applied power-saver profile and the battery is not below the low threshold.

The daemon keeps a single-instance pidfile under ${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:-/tmp}/power-profile-daemon.pid and polls AC/time/battery state every two seconds. It sends best-effort desktop notifications through omarchy notification send.

Troubleshooting

Use the underlying tools to verify state before changing the dotfiles:

powerprofilesctl get
omarchy-powerprofiles-list
pgrep -af power-profile-daemon

If SUPER+CTRL+P opens no choices, check that omarchy-powerprofiles-list prints profile IDs. If the laptop policy is not running, confirm the active host symlink points at the laptop overrides and that Hyprland sourced ~/.config/hypr/host/autostart.conf; see Host Overrides.
