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.
