Plugin Control presents Omarchy plugin state and native plugin operations in a fast command-palette interface. This glossary keeps product language consistent across the UI, documentation, and implementation.
Built-in plugin: An Omarchy-shipped plugin whose lifecycle and current state come from the native plugin registry. Avoid: First-party item, system plugin
User plugin: A third-party plugin that a user can add to Omarchy. Avoid: Community item, external plugin
Available plugin: A user plugin that is known to Plugin Control but has not been added locally. Avoid: Uninstalled plugin, remote plugin
Marketplace presentation: The name, description, author, repository, version, and listing metadata shown for a marketplace-listed plugin. Avoid: Installed metadata, local presentation
Marketplace version: The manifest version reported by the current marketplace catalog for a plugin. It does not describe an installed checkout or a GitHub release. Avoid: Latest version, release version
Added plugin: A user plugin present in the local Omarchy plugin directory. Avoid: Installed plugin, downloaded plugin
Installed version: The manifest version read from an added plugin's local checkout. Avoid: Marketplace version, release version
Local lifecycle state: The added, enabled, removable, and update state derived from the local plugin checkout and native registry. Avoid: Marketplace state
Update available: A checked added plugin whose upstream commit is a safe fast-forward from its unchanged local commit. Avoid: Outdated plugin, upgrade available
Full bar: A complete Omarchy bar plugin that can replace the active bar rather than occupy one widget position. Avoid: Bar widget, panel
