Omarchy Mobile update: a real camera app
Linux camera apps were built for desktop and laptop webcams, not for a phone with four cameras. We can fix everything…
Camera (omacam) is now the default camera on Omarchy Mobile:
- All four Pixel 7 Pro cameras: ultrawide, main, selfie and 5× telephoto
- Zoom steps 0.5× / 1× / 2× / 5× that switch lenses for you, plus pinch-to-zoom
- Full-resolution photos, tap-to-focus and autofocus
- Volume keys as the shutter, and a shutter sound you can turn off
- A settings sheet like the ones on Android cameras
- EXIF data on every photo; location is off unless you turn it on
- Video recording (H.264 + Opus), early but working
- Follows your Omarchy theme
Rust + GTK4/libadwaita on mainline Linux and libcamera, with no Android underneath. GPL-3.0.

Will post real photos and videos shortly. I need to go touch (and mow) my grass.
