Plugin replaces the night light indicator with sunsetr integration. The setup script modifies user configuration files (shell.json, menu extension) but creates backups and is reversible via --uninstall. No malicious code or hidden behavior was found.

  • Modifies user configuration files (shell.json, menu extension) but creates backups
  • Runs shell commands via bash -c but with controlled arguments
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-sunsetr

Vibe Coded Night light for Omarchy driven by sunsetr instead of hyprsunset.

Omarchy's built-in night light (omarchy.nightlight) talks to hyprsunset only. If you run sunsetr, the stock bar icon never reflects reality and clicking it spawns hyprsunset on top of sunsetr. This plugin replaces the icon, keybind target and menu entry with ones that drive sunsetr presets.

What you get

  • Replaces Nightlight bar icon at the top of the screen. Left click toggles, right click opens the panel above (Auto / Day / Night), middle click refreshes.
  • Toggle logic: forced preset → back to auto; auto + on → force day; auto + off → force night.
  • sunsetr-nightlight CLI for keybindings and scripts.
  • Menu Trigger ▸ Toggle ▸ Nightlight repointed at sunsetr, ✓ when on.
  • Starts sunsetr if it isn't running.

Requirements

  • Omarchy Quattro.
  • sunsetr installed, configured (sunsetr geo), and autostarted, e.g. in ~/.config/hypr/autostart.lua: 
    o.launch_on_start("sunsetr")
  • Do not autostart hyprsunset.

Install

omarchy plugin add https://github.com/Varantha/omarchy-sunsetr.git
~/.config/omarchy/plugins/varantha.sunsetr/bin/setup

(or git clone the repo to ~/.config/omarchy/plugins/varantha.sunsetr and run bin/setup from there.)

The bar icon works as soon as the plugin is enabled. bin/setup (idempotent, asks before changing anything, --yes to skip) does the rest:

  1. create ~/.config/sunsetr/presets/{day,night}/sunsetr.toml if missing (static mode, values from your sunsetr.toml; the plugin also does this on first use)
  2. link sunsetr-nightlight into ~/.local/bin
  3. remove NightLight from omarchy.indicators in ~/.config/omarchy/shell.json
  4. override trigger.toggle.nightlight in ~/.config/omarchy/extensions/omarchy-menu.jsonc
  5. omarchy plugin enable varantha.sunsetr --before omarchy.indicators if not already enabled

Edited files get a .bak.sunsetr.<timestamp> copy next to them.

Then rebind the key yourself in ~/.config/hypr/bindings.lua:

hl.unbind("SUPER + CTRL + N")
o.bind("SUPER + CTRL + N", "Toggle nightlight", "sunsetr-nightlight toggle")

If the icon doesn't show up, omarchy restart shell.

The stock omarchy.nightlight service is left enabled but dormant. Nothing in the bar or menu reaches it any more; omarchy toggle nightlight still does — avoid it.

Configure

Widget entry in shell.json (bar.layout.center):

{ "id": "varantha.sunsetr", "interval": 30, "dayPreset": "day", "nightPreset": "night", "reveal": "hover" }
key default meaning
interval 30 seconds between sunsetr status polls
dayPreset "day" sunsetr preset used to force off
nightPreset "night" sunsetr preset used to force on
reveal "hover" icon while off: hover (peek with the centre section, like stock indicators), always (dimmed), never

Presets. default is sunsetr's built-in "no preset" state — nothing to create. day and night are just names: bring your own preset files, or point dayPreset/nightPreset at ones you already have. Existing preset files are never overwritten. "On" means the current temperature is below 6000 K (same threshold as stock), whatever the preset contains.

Use

sunsetr-nightlight toggle|on|off|auto|status|start|stop|refresh
omarchy-shell sunsetr status|toggle|enable|disable|auto|preset <name>|start|stop|refresh

The CLI goes through the shell when it is running and falls back to sunsetr directly otherwise. Set SUNSETR_DAY_PRESET / SUNSETR_NIGHT_PRESET for the fallback path if you renamed the presets.

Uninstall

~/.config/omarchy/plugins/varantha.sunsetr/bin/setup --uninstall
omarchy plugin remove varantha.sunsetr

Restores omarchy.indicators, removes the menu override and CLI link, deletes presets it created (if unmodified), returns sunsetr to default. Keybindings are yours to revert.

Notes

  • sunsetr's --background uses the pre-0.56 hyprctl dispatch exec syntax and fails on current Hyprland; the plugin starts sunsetr with uwsm-app instead.
