CoWork OS
A local-first AI agent desktop handles coding, documents and browser tasks on macOS and Windows with Ollama, MLX-LM or cloud models.
CoWork OS is an AI agent desktop for developers and people working with documents, research and email. It brings tasks and their outputs into one workspace, where you can review agent actions and control approvals.
- Model choice: Use Ollama for local models, MLX-LM on Apple Silicon, or cloud providers including ChatGPT sign-in, Claude, OpenAI API, Gemini, OpenRouter and Groq.
- Documents and previews: Create and revise documents, spreadsheets, presentations, PDFs and web pages beside the agent, with the outputs available for follow-up work.
- Coding and browser testing: Built-in terminals and browser tools support repository work, responsive page testing, screenshots and diagnostics.
- Email work: The inbox agent can search and triage mail, prepare drafts, and send, reply to or forward messages through connected services.
- Agent coordination: Mixture of Agents combines model routes, while task timelines and visible routing and fallback status let you follow ongoing work.
The app runs on macOS 13 or later and Windows. Its terminal interface shares the desktop's local runtime and settings. Tasks require a working model route, and access profiles govern actions and approval rules.
CoWork OS is free and open source under the MIT license. Model providers may charge for usage. Your workspace stays local; cloud models and connected services receive the data needed for the tasks you run.
