A cassette with limbs
Spool jumps, waves and follows the pointer with its eyes. Turn on wandering and it walks the bottom of the screen.
Omarchy desktop companion
Spool
A cassette that knows what your agent is doing.
Spool is a violet cassette with acid-green limbs on the Omarchy desktop. Drag it, make it jump or wave, let it wander, and its eyes follow the pointer. A bridge reads agent activity from T3 Code and Codex and plays working, waiting, failure and review animations with a badge.
For an Omarchy desktop that could use some company while the agent works.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
Drag it, poke it, let it wander.
Agent activity
A bridge watches T3 Code and Codex desktop activity and plays working, waiting, failure and review animations, with a badge.
A small menu
Size, eyes, wander and which monitor it lives on, from a desktop control menu or over IPC.
GETTING IT
Install from the checkout
Clone and run the installer
Spool installs with its own ./install.sh rather than the plugin command.
Expect the bridge to need updates
The activity bridge adapts to an internal desktop interface, not an official event API. An app update may need an adapter update.
A FEW DETAILS
Common questions
Can I reuse the artwork?
No. The sprite is the owner’s own and no redistribution license is assigned to it. The code is for running Spool, not for reusing the cassette.
Which Omarchy does it need?
The Quickshell plugin API on Omarchy with Hyprland, where it was developed and is run.
