01 / A calmer login
Less file hunting.
More making yourself at home.
Three startup sources.
One place to understand them.
Set your next session.
Turn off all enabled startup methods together, or turn on one suitable method. Running apps stay open; changes apply at next login.
Make it yours.
Added apps appear at the top. Disabled apps stay listed until you choose Remove in their details. Undo restores the entry.
02 / Everything in its place
Different sources.
A single, honest view.
Hyprland startup
Supported literal startup calls in your user configuration. Complex Lua stays visible and read-only.
autostart.lua
Desktop autostart
Desktop entries, per-user overrides, and an app picker. Generated services stay grouped with their app.
*.desktop
User systemd
Supported user services, including globally enabled apps. Protected or indirect activation explains its limits.
*.service
A startup setting tells you what is configured for login. It does not tell you whether the app is running right now.
03 / Local by design
Your session.
Your files. Your machine.
omastart reads your startup configuration and saves changes in your user directories. It doesn’t send your app list to a server.

The installer validates and copies the plugin, backs up the previous installation, and enables the bar widget. It doesn’t change your startup apps. Prefer Git-managed updates? See the native Omarchy installation.
05 / A few good questions
Before you
start.
Will switching an app off close it?
No. omastart changes startup configuration and never starts, stops, or restarts your apps. Disabling a globally enabled systemd service uses a per-user mask, which also blocks later manual or indirect starts until restored.
Can I undo a change?
Supported changes save a local recovery record. Undo restores the previous configuration if the affected files still match what omastart wrote. If you edit those files elsewhere, omastart preserves your newer work.
Can it manage every startup command?
It supports three startup mechanisms: Hyprland, XDG autostart, and user systemd. Computed Lua, service templates, timers, sockets, and other complex activation remain protected. Login-shell scripts and app-internal startup settings are outside this version’s scope.
Does it follow my Omarchy theme?
Yes. The installed plugin uses native Quattro controls, typography, and theme colors. This website’s Tokyo Night and Everforest palettes are a preview of the same desktop spirit.
What happens if I uninstall?
Your startup preferences and recovery backups stay on your computer. Restore any startup settings you want to change before removing the plugin. The included README explains removal and backup locations.
