The plugin is a straightforward QML overlay that invokes standard system commands (hyprpicker, pgrep, omarchy-capture-screenshot, omarchy-menu) for screenshot and recording functionality. No malicious behavior, obfuscation, or suspicious operations were found.

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 Snip & Record

Omarchy Snip & Record preview

A small Windows-like capture overlay for Omarchy. It keeps Omarchy's existing screenshot and screen recording commands and changes only the way users start them.

Features

  • Screenshot is selected by default.
  • Tab switches between Screenshot and Screen recording.
  • Enter starts the selected action.
  • Esc closes the overlay or cancels the current selection.
  • Direct pointer selection starts Screenshot.
  • Screen recording continues through Omarchy's existing audio/webcam menu.
  • The existing Omarchy status-bar recording indicator remains the stop control.
  • The screen is dimmed while the overlay is open.
  • The screen is frozen immediately while the overlay is open, using Omarchy's native compositor-backed capture freeze.

This plugin intentionally does not add countdown, pause, annotation, webcam, or recording logic of its own.

Installation

Install and enable the plugin directly from its published Git repository:

omarchy plugin add https://github.com/roubilibo/omarchy-snip-record.git --enable

The plugin manager places it in the user's Omarchy plugin directory and reloads the shell.

Shortcut setup

The plugin does not change shortcuts automatically. Add your preferred binding to ~/.config/hypr/bindings.lua:

hl.unbind("SUPER + SHIFT + S")
o.bind(
  "SUPER + SHIFT + S",
  "Omarchy Snip & Record",
  "omarchy-shell shell summon roubilibo.omarchy-snip-record '{}'"
)

Check existing shortcuts before overriding one:

omarchy menu keybindings --print

The existing Print screenshot and Alt + Print screen recording shortcuts can remain unchanged.

Removal

Remove the plugin with:

omarchy plugin remove roubilibo.omarchy-snip-record --yes

If you added the optional shortcut, remove its Capture overlay binding from ~/.config/hypr/bindings.lua and reload Hyprland.

Requirements

  • Omarchy Quattro

No separate packages or capture tools are required. The plugin uses Omarchy's standard screenshot and screen recording functionality.
