The plugin is a simple Quickshell service that creates hover triggers to auto-hide a bar. It contains no shell commands, network access, persistence mechanisms, or destructive operations, and only manipulates UI visibility properties. The continuous 50ms timer is a minor performance consideration, not a security risk.

  • A 50ms polling Timer runs continuously; this is a minor efficiency concern but not a security issue.
How this check works

This review combines the deterministic scan (the rule-based results above) with an independent look at the plugin's code by a language model. The model reads a trimmed sample of the repository's files, the manifest, and the README, then gives a plain-language risk level and a recommendation: install (no notable danger), review (look closer first), or avoid (clearly dangerous).

It runs on the same analyzed commit as the deterministic scan and is strictly advisory — it is not a security guarantee and never blocks a plugin by itself. A human moderator still reviews plugins before they are listed.

omarchy-autohide-bar

A lightweight Quickshell plugin that automatically hides your bar when not in use and reveals it on-demand. Supports all bar positions (top, bottom, left, right) with per-screen detection (displays the bars on all screens when any of them are hovered).

Installation

omarchy plugin add https://github.com/CarmeloRositano/omarchy-autohide-bar.git --enable

Core Behavior

  • Hidden by default - Bar starts hidden when Quickshell loads
  • Hover trigger - Hover over the edge (1px) to show the bar
    • Top bar: hover top 1px of screen
    • Bottom bar: hover bottom 1px of screen
    • Left bar: hover left 1px of screen
    • Right bar: hover right 1px of screen
  • Auto-hide - Bar hides when you leave both the trigger edge AND the bar itself
  • Popout aware - Bar stays open when menus are displayed
