Beautiful dots for Arch hyprland and bspwm

Why Another Rice?

We don’t sacrifice one for the other. Instead, we create a system where each component is chosen based on the principle of “maximum results with minimum resources”.

But most importantly — we don’t limit ourselves to beautiful configs.

🏷️ Nemo Tags

For 10+ years the community requested a tagging system for Nemo.

Developers ignored it. We made it.

Now file organization like in macOS Finder is available to everyone.

🩸 BlueVein

Dual-boot Windows/Linux = Bluetooth hell.

Switched OS? Reconnect your mouse, keyboard, headphones. Every. Single. Time.

We solved this agonizing problem.

Why Meowrch?
