Two related additions for using omarchy-send beyond the focused TUI: Headless send (no TUI / no TTY) — for scripts, cron, SSH sessions: omarchy-send --to "<alias>" --message "<text>" [--send-pin N] [--wait 15s] Resolves the peer by alias over multicast (discovery only, not the HTTP receiver, so it co-exists with a running instance), sends, prints a one-line result, and exits non-zero on not-found / failure. New discovery.FindPeer/Snapshot and client.SendMessageSync (returns the error directly, incl. ErrPinRequired). Bugfix surfaced by the above: the official LocalSend client answers a message prepare-upload with HTTP 204 No Content (the text rides in the preview field, nothing to upload). prepareUpload only accepted 200, so message sends to official peers failed with "prepare-upload status 204" in BOTH the new headless path and the existing TUI. Now treats 204 as success (empty response). Desktop notifications: a running receiver raises a notify-send notification on an incoming message or file offer, so mako shows it on Omarchy/Hyprland even when the TUI isn't focused. New internal/notify (best-effort; self-disabling on headless boxes with no notify-send / session bus). Off-switch: --no-notify flag, cfg.NoNotify, and a Settings 'n' toggle wired to a live atomic gate via Controller.SetNotify so it takes effect without a restart. Tests: discovery/find_test, client/message_sync_test, client/prepare_204_test, app/events_test. Race-clean. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

# Omarchy-Send (`omarchy-send`)
|
||
|
||
A [LocalSend](https://localsend.org)-compatible file-transfer client with a
|
||
**terminal UI**, built for headless Arch / Omarchy servers used over SSH — no
|
||
desktop environment, no clipboard, no browser. It interoperates with the stock
|
||
LocalSend mobile and desktop apps on the same LAN, including their default
|
||
**encrypted (HTTPS)** mode.
|
||
|
||
## Features
|
||
|
||
- **Discovery** — multicast announce/listen on `224.0.0.167:53317` plus the HTTP
|
||
`/register` handshake, with peer aging.
|
||
- **Receive** — incoming files are accepted via a prompt (or auto-accepted) and
|
||
written to the receive directory, with live progress.
|
||
- **Send** — pick a peer, stage files (or whole folders) with a built-in file
|
||
picker, and upload them with progress, rate and ETA. Folders are sent
|
||
recursively with their structure preserved on the receiver.
|
||
- **Messages** — send a plain-text message to a peer (LocalSend-compatible) and
|
||
read messages others send you in a dedicated Messages tab. Send the system
|
||
clipboard as a message, or copy a received one back to the clipboard (uses
|
||
`wl-clipboard`/`xclip`/`xsel`, or tmux's paste buffer when run inside tmux on
|
||
a headless box).
|
||
- **Desktop notifications** — on a graphical session (e.g. Omarchy/Hyprland with
|
||
`mako`), an incoming message or file offer raises a desktop notification via
|
||
`notify-send`, so a backgrounded receiver still gets your attention. Best-effort
|
||
and self-disabling on headless boxes; turn it off with `--no-notify` or the `n`
|
||
key in Settings.
|
||
- **Manage** — browse the receive folder, mark received files (or whole folders)
|
||
and delete the ones you no longer want, behind a confirmation prompt.
|
||
- **HTTPS** — generates a self-signed certificate whose fingerprint matches the
|
||
scheme the official client pins (uppercase-hex SHA-256 of the cert DER), so
|
||
stock encrypted peers talk to it with no configuration.
|
||
- **Single static binary**, pure-stdlib protocol layer; only the Charm TUI
|
||
libraries are external dependencies.
|
||
|
||
## Install
|
||
|
||
One line, nothing to clone:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/28allday/omarchy-send/main/install.sh | bash
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
This downloads the right binary for your architecture into `~/.local/bin`, and on
|
||
Omarchy also adds a floating Walker entry (search **Omarchy-Send**). Override the
|
||
location with `BIN_DIR=/usr/local/bin`, or pin a version with
|
||
`OMARCHY_SEND_VERSION=v0.1.0`.
|
||
|
||
> The installer is a short shell script fetched over HTTPS; read it first if you
|
||
> prefer — it lives at [`install.sh`](install.sh) in this repo.
|
||
|
||
## Build from source
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
git clone https://github.com/28allday/omarchy-send
|
||
cd omarchy-send
|
||
go build -o omarchy-send ./cmd/omarchy-send # or: ./install.sh
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Run from a clone, `./install.sh` builds with your local Go toolchain instead of
|
||
downloading.
|
||
|
||
## Usage
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
omarchy-send # uses config / sensible defaults
|
||
omarchy-send --alias my-server # override the advertised device name
|
||
omarchy-send --port 53317 # override the listen port
|
||
omarchy-send --dir ~/Downloads # override the receive directory
|
||
omarchy-send --auto-accept # accept incoming transfers without a prompt
|
||
omarchy-send --pin 2468 # require senders to supply this PIN
|
||
omarchy-send --no-icons # drop Nerd Font glyphs (non-Nerd-Font terminals)
|
||
omarchy-send --no-notify # don't raise desktop notifications on incoming
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Headless send (no TUI)
|
||
|
||
Send a one-off message to a peer by name, with no terminal UI — handy from
|
||
scripts, cron, or an SSH session with no TTY:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
omarchy-send --to "Strong Onion" --message "hello"
|
||
omarchy-send --to "Strong Onion" --message "deploy finished" --wait 20s
|
||
omarchy-send --to "Strong Onion" --message "hi" --send-pin 2468 # if the peer requires a PIN
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The target is matched against the peer's display name, case-insensitively. The
|
||
command discovers the peer over multicast (waiting up to `--wait`, default 15s),
|
||
sends the message, prints a one-line result, and exits non-zero if the peer
|
||
isn't found or the send fails. It starts discovery only — not the receiver — so
|
||
it's safe to run while another `omarchy-send` instance is up. Both `--to` and
|
||
`--message` are required; file sending stays in the TUI for now.
|
||
|
||
### Theming
|
||
|
||
On Omarchy, the TUI reads the active theme's `~/.config/omarchy/current/theme/colors.toml`
|
||
and matches it. Elsewhere (headless / over SSH) it falls back to **ANSI palette
|
||
colours**, so it tracks whatever colour scheme the connecting terminal uses.
|
||
|
||
### Device name
|
||
|
||
On first run, each device is given a random, friendly display name such as
|
||
**"Crimson Quasar"** (a colour + a celestial object), generated once and saved.
|
||
This avoids broadcasting your machine's hostname to everyone on the network —
|
||
handy on a laptop joining untrusted Wi-Fi. The hostname is still carried in the
|
||
device-model field, and you can set any name you like with `--alias` or the `e`
|
||
key in the Settings tab.
|
||
|
||
Config (including the generated TLS identity) is stored at
|
||
`~/.config/omarchy-send/config.json`. Received files default to `~/Omarchy-Send/`.
|
||
|
||
### Unattended / headless mode
|
||
|
||
For a server that should accept files without anyone at the keyboard, combine
|
||
auto-accept with a PIN so only senders who know the code can push to it:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
omarchy-send --auto-accept --pin 2468
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Keys
|
||
|
||
- `1`–`5` or `tab` — switch between Devices / Transfers / Manage / Messages / Settings
|
||
- Peers: `enter` send to the selected peer · `m` message · `v` send clipboard · `r` refresh · `/` filter
|
||
- PIN-protected peers: messages prompt for the PIN and retry, just like file sends
|
||
- Send picker: `enter` stage a file · `a` add the current folder · `backspace` unstage · `S` send · `esc` back
|
||
- Incoming prompt: `y` accept · `n` reject
|
||
- Transfers: `c` clear finished
|
||
- Messages: `enter` read the full message · `y` copy it to the clipboard · `d`
|
||
delete it (incoming messages arrive automatically, with a footer notice)
|
||
- Manage: `space` mark file/folder · `a` mark all · `d` delete marked (or the one
|
||
under the cursor) · `r` refresh · `/` filter — deletion asks to confirm first
|
||
- Settings: `e` edit (alias / receive dir / PIN) · `a` toggle auto-accept · `i` toggle icons · `n` toggle notifications
|
||
- Sending to a PIN-protected peer prompts for the PIN and retries
|
||
- `q` quit
|
||
|
||
### Debugging
|
||
|
||
Set `OMARCHY_SEND_LOG=/path/to/log` to record discovery/transfer events to a file.
|
||
|
||
## Notes on iOS
|
||
|
||
iOS LocalSend decides whether received media lands in the Photo Library based on
|
||
its own in-app settings; its post-receive "open file" prompt can fail to open
|
||
files from the app cache. Both behaviours occur identically with the official
|
||
desktop client and are not controlled by the sender.
