ALPHARCH.Your charts are real windows. Tile them, move them between workspaces and give the view that matters more room.
Alpharch is a free, open-source trading overlay built around Omarchy’s Hyprland desktop. Charting, order flow and replay for futures and crypto traders, using the desktop shortcuts you already know.

The film starts with the Alpharch logo and an empty Omarchy desktop, then shows the animated starting screen and a Bitcoin desk in separate Hyprland windows. Watch the windows resize and expand, find a trend-line tool from the keyboard, place its anchors, zoom the chart, add RSI, switch to a light chart, and inspect trade bubbles over the liquidity heatmap. Actual desktop recordings from the installed public preview, edited for length; loading pauses are shortened. Original instrumental music, no narration. This is a charting demonstration; it does not show broker order execution.

The goal is a proper home for intraday traders on Linux, with futures and crypto sharing the same charting and replay workflow.
The futures workflow is being built around dated contracts, exact tick prices, depth, tape and replay. The read-only Interactive Brokers bridge is implemented and has passed offline checks; testing with a signed-in gateway and exchange permissions is still pending.
Rithmic and CQG need their own adapters and provider access. Live broker execution is not implemented. Futures data subscriptions remain separate.
Interactive Brokers status →The live desk reads public Coinbase and Kraken spot data and Hyperliquid perpetual data. Deribit supplies optional crypto options context. These feeds are why the current screenshots and starting templates show crypto.
Captured VWAP and depth history start with received data. Missing trade classifications stay unknown.
Choose a crypto feed →Choose Hyprland desk on the opening screen, then pick a starting layout. Each chart opens as a real window for Omarchy to tile. Public crypto feeds let you get started without a broker login. Classic desk remains available if you prefer one window.
A one-minute chart with volume, a liquidity heatmap and time & sales. All three read the same Coinbase BTC/USD feed.

One market · room to workAlready have a setup in mind? Choose Blank desk and add your own charts. The opening chooser appears each time; saved desks remain available. ES/NQ presets are planned once their live-data workflow is verified.
Zoom time around the cursor. Stretch the price scale. Inspect the exact price and exchange timestamp. Switch between candles, heatmap, footprint, profile, ladder and tape.
Search for RSI, MACD, moving averages, Bollinger Bands, stochastic, VWAP or volume and delta tools. Edit the settings and colors, use a separate pane, and save your study template.
The Daily combines your configured crypto watchlist, session clock, calendar and yesterday’s journal debrief. Open it before the session and save a copy to your journal.
About the morning brief →Save your Hyprland charts, drawings and studies as a named desk. Record public feeds locally for review. Replay stays local to each Hyprland window; Classic supports several streams on one replay clock.
Focus, swap, resize and move charts with your Hyprland shortcuts. Add a chart and the desktop tiles it alongside the others. Your workspaces, monitor setup and keyboard habits stay part of the workflow.
Using the Hyprland desk →A market pulse flowing into the Greek letter alpha—a nod to the name Alpharch.
