Why it exists

Made for the work, not the demo.

Omarchy Firewall keeps the state of ufw visible in the Omarchy bar and opens a focused panel for browsing, adding, and deleting rules. It watches the same world-readable configuration files that ufw uses, so status and rule inspection never need elevated privileges.

Every mutation takes the narrow path through pkexec and the distribution-owned /usr/bin/ufw binary. The plugin rebuilds and validates arguments, avoids shell execution, asks for the administrator password on each change, and makes potentially unsafe actions explicit instead of hiding them behind a shortcut.
