Omarchy Hatchbox Plugin

I wanted a way to see the status of my Hatchbox apps at a glance without leaving my Omarchy desktop: their deploy state, whether a deploy failed, whether one is in progress. I also wanted to be able to deploy, restart, or jump straight to the app on Hatchbox.io. Omarchy didn't have anything for that, so I built a plugin.

It's simple. It lists every app on your Hatchbox account, each with small buttons to deploy, to restart, or to open the app and dig into its finer settings on Hatchbox.io itself. It's a quick place to see when each app was last deployed and what state it's in.

When I push to GitHub and want to know if that deploy is actually done, I don't have to open Hatchbox at all. I just click the little icon in the Omarchy top bar and the state is right there.  I added some fun flair to the deploy stage animations, too.

Here's the link to the plugin on plugins.omarchy.org.
