Swap the model behind Claude Code from your bar.
You know the routine: export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL, paste a key into settings.json, go digging for model ids, then unpick the whole lot when you want Claude back. We did it enough times to automate it. Now switching is a click and a toast.

Why it stays installed.
Profiles
Every key and endpoint is a profile
z.ai, OpenRouter, DeepSeek, a proxy, whatever: each one is a section in a config file with its own key. Switching is clean by construction, every managed ANTHROPIC_* value is cleared before the new profile is written, so nothing stale survives the swap.

The picker
Click the mark, pick a brain
The bar item shows the Claude logomark tinted to your theme plus the active profile. Click for the picker with the current one marked; middle-click to bounce between your two most-used. Every switch fires a toast so you know what just changed.
Models
The catalogue comes from the provider
Models are pulled from each endpoint's own list and handed to Claude Code's /model picker, so a profile is not stuck on one brain. Run the fast one for chores and the big one for surgery without touching a config.
Usage
Bars for the plan you are torching
With ai-usagebar installed, the picker shows per-account and per-key usage: z.ai, OpenRouter, DeepSeek, Kimi, Kilo, Novita, xAI, MiniMax and friends. Providers with no usage API get a console link instead, which is the best anyone can do.
OAuth
No token, no problem
A profile with no key drops you back to your normal claude OAuth login. Official Anthropic, third-party endpoints, and your own gateway all live in the same picker.
Honest state
Keeps up no matter who changed it
The menu, a keybind, the bundled script, or you editing profiles.conf by hand: the widget watches the file and re-reads on the fly. What the bar shows is what is live.
Install, enable, add keys
$ omarchy plugin add https://github.com/outcrop-labs/skal-swap.git --yes
$ omarchy plugin enable skal.swap --section left
$ ~/.config/omarchy/plugins/skal.swap/bin/skal-swap editProfiles live in ~/.config/skal.swap/profiles.conf, outside the plugin directory, so updates never touch your keys.
The binds we run
- SUPER+ ALT+ K Bounce between your two most-used profiles
skal-swap swap
The bind toggles profiles one and two. If skal-swap is not on your PATH, one symlink (see the README) or the full path to bin/skal-swap does the same job.
Contribute
Issues welcome. PRs welcome.
Every plugin here started as an itch, and yours count too. Something broken, or a drawer you wish existed? Open an issue and tell us how you work; enough thumbs on an itch makes us scratch it. It's all MIT, so a PR is the fastest way to make the bar yours. We read everything.

skål bar
The Omarchy bar, tuckable.
The same thin, quiet strip Omarchy ships, now with hidden widget drawers, a native tray, quick actions on the menu trigger, and a settings GUI so none of it requires editing JSON by hand.
skål menu
The launcher, with math in the search box.
Your Omarchy launcher, cloned and upgraded: type 2+2 or 5 km to mi and the answer is the first row. Flatpak apps finally show up, every query ends with a web search, and the rest of the menu is stock.
skål title
The focused window's title, right in the bar.
A tiny widget that shows the title of the window you are in. Long titles elide at a width you set, and when there is nothing to show the widget disappears until there is.
