Wayfinder

The model router built for Omarchy.

Wayfinder gives Omarchy developers one local endpoint for the AI tools and models already on their machine. It selects an eligible local, account-backed, or API model for each request, then records a deterministic receipt explaining the choice.

Install the flagship Omarchy experience:

omarchy plugin add https://github.com/asdecided/omarchy-wayfinder.git
cd ~/.config/omarchy/plugins/io.github.asdecided.wayfinder
./install.sh
wayfinder-router init
wayfinder-router doctor

Point Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, Pi, or Aider at the same loopback policy with wayfinder-router connect <client>. See the verified coding-agent quick starts, or run wayfinder-router open to inspect local routing decisions.

Add a hosted destination without changing Automatic using a reviewable provider preset fragment. The command prints the official compatibility endpoint and an environment-variable reference; it never writes a credential or edits routing policy.

Underneath the plugin, Wayfinder Router remains a portable Rust project with no Omarchy runtime dependency. The scored decision path stays offline, deterministic, and keyless; credentials are resolved only for delivery.

Products

Wayfinder for Omarchy

The Omarchy plugin is Wayfinder's flagship product surface. It installs the checksum-verified Router release, manages its independent systemd --user service, and exposes health, recent routes, model readiness, local-versus-hosted usage, and savings in the native Omarchy bar.

The shell never becomes the routing authority and never takes custody of provider credentials. Reloading or disabling the plugin does not interrupt the Router. See the plugin source and Omarchy-first roadmap.

Wayfinder Desktop

The native Swift macOS app provides:

• conversation-first Chat with locally persisted history;
• automatic or pinned model selection;
• Apple Foundation Models delivery on eligible Apple Silicon Macs;
• native Anthropic Messages destinations with bounded streaming/tool translation;
• opt-in ChatGPT account routing through a separately verified provider;
• OpenAI-compatible and Anthropic-compatible local gateway endpoints;
• native setup, connection, routing, privacy, and diagnostic surfaces.

Desktop releases use SemVer and desktop-v* tags. See macos/WayfinderMac/Packaging/RELEASE.md.

Wayfinder for iPhone and iPad

The native iPhone and iPad roadmap is paused while the project focuses on the Omarchy developer experience. Its accepted architecture remains recorded so work can resume without changing the portable routing core or weakening provider and privacy boundaries.

The governing contracts are WF-ROADMAP-0016, WF-ADR-0047, and WF-ADR-0048. Mobile conversation persistence is governed by WF-ADR-0049. The thread-first mobile interaction contract is WF-DESIGN-0020.

Portable Router

The Rust workspace contains the deterministic scoring core, configuration parser, provider clients, bounded HTTP gateway, service integration, native XPC clients, and command-line helper.

Build it with:

cargo build \
  --manifest-path rust/Cargo.toml \
  --package wayfinder-cli \
  --bin wayfinder-router \
  --locked

Then run:

rust/target/debug/wayfinder-router route "Summarise this request"
rust/target/debug/wayfinder-router serve --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8088

Versioned router-v* releases also provide checksum-verified native Linux archives for x86_64 and aarch64. These contain the same independent Router process used by the Omarchy integration; installing an archive does not create or start a service or alter provider credentials.

For a network-exposed deployment, do not publish the local surface. Mint a virtual key and select the fail-closed managed data plane:

rust/target/debug/wayfinder-router keys new --id team-a
rust/target/debug/wayfinder-router serve \
  --surface data-plane --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8088

The managed listener contains inference, authenticated model discovery, and minimal /livez//readyz probes only. See Managed gateway deployment.

The gateway exposes:

• OpenAI-compatible: http://127.0.0.1:8088/v1
• OpenAI Responses compatibility: POST /v1/responses (bounded text, multi-turn, and function/custom tool contract used by Codex)
• Modality compatibility: explicit embeddings, image, audio, and batch capability contracts; non-text surfaces remain fail-closed until their reviewed adapters are enabled
• Anthropic-compatible: http://127.0.0.1:8088
• Health: http://127.0.0.1:8088/healthz

The scored decision remains offline, deterministic, and keyless. Credentials are resolved only for delivery after the route is chosen.

Container

docker build -t wayfinder-router .
docker run --rm -p 8088:8088 \
  --read-only --tmpfs /tmp --user 10001:10001 \
  -v "$PWD/config:/etc/wayfinder:ro" \
  -v wayfinder-state:/var/lib/wayfinder \
  wayfinder-router

The image is built from the Rust workspace and contains only the native gateway plus its runtime certificates. It starts the authenticated managed data plane, so config/wayfinder-router.toml must define at least one virtual key and model. Configuration remains read-only; audit and savings state are written beneath /var/lib/wayfinder by the unprivileged UID/GID 10001 process.

Verification

cargo fmt --manifest-path rust/Cargo.toml --all -- --check
cargo test --manifest-path rust/Cargo.toml --workspace --all-features --locked
cargo clippy --manifest-path rust/Cargo.toml \
  --workspace --all-targets --all-features --locked -- -D warnings
swift test --package-path macos/WayfinderMac
node clients/shared/test/parity.mjs
