Nine Point Labs apps are made for Omarchy first, and that isn’t changing. But they shouldn’t stop at Omarchy. As of today, seven of them also run on Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE and most other Linux distributions: every release now comes with an AppImage that runs on most x86_64 Linux systems and fits properly into your desktop.

What’s new

These releases went out today, each with a -x86_64.AppImage attached next to the usual packages:

• Repokase 0.2.5
• Jubako 0.4.7
• Dogear 0.1.1
• omaforge 0.2.6
• Rune 0.8.6
• Bahá’í Reader 0.1.4
• Hyprfall 0.1.4

The Python and Qt apps carry their own Python and Qt inside the AppImage, and Hyprfall carries its own Quickshell and Qt, so there’s nothing else to install. They run on most systems from about 2021 or 2022 on (glibc 2.34 or newer, 2.35 for Hyprfall): Ubuntu 22.04 and later, Debian 12 and later, Fedora, openSUSE and others.

It behaves like a real app

Download it, make it executable and run it:

chmod +x dogear-0.1.1-x86_64.AppImage
./dogear-0.1.1-x86_64.AppImage --install-desktop-entry

--install-desktop-entry puts the app in your application menu with its proper icon, so it shows up correctly in your launcher, taskbar and dock. Dogear also offers itself for PDFs, and Jubako opens .jubadb files. If you’d rather let a tool manage it, Gear Lever and AppImageLauncher both pick these up. Each AppImage has a .sha256 and a .zsync file next to it for checking and updating.

A few app-specific notes

• Repokase and Dogear now follow your desktop’s light or dark setting when they’re not on Omarchy. On Omarchy they still follow your theme.
• Dogear 0.1.1 also adds an About screen and works better in narrow windows, like half a screen in a tiling window manager.
• Rune 0.8.6 packages for Arch, Debian and Fedora now install Rune’s AppStream info and icons in every size, so software centers and menus show it properly.
• Bahá’í Reader 0.1.4 adds a Flatpak bundle as well, bahai-reader-0.1.4-x86_64.flatpak. It brings its own Python and GTK through the GNOME runtime, so it runs even where your system GTK is too old. It’s a download on the release page, not a Flathub listing. If your system’s Python or GTK is too old for the AppImage, the AppImage now tells you so and points you to the Flatpak.
• Hyprfall 0.1.4 now needs Quickshell 0.3 or newer. Fedora’s Quickshell is older than that, so the Fedora package is gone and Fedora players should use the AppImage, which brings Quickshell 0.3.2 with it.

Get them

On Omarchy and Arch, nothing changes: install the .pkg.tar.zst from the release, or let Autonomix CLI pick the right download and keep the app updated:

autonomix-cli add https://github.com/ninepointlabs/dogear

On any other Linux, grab the AppImage from the release pages above. From here on, every new Nine Point Labs desktop app release ships an AppImage, and a Flatpak bundle will join it on the release page starting with each app’s next release.
