OpenWork

A desktop AI agent app works on your files with cloud providers or local models through Ollama, and runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux.

Alternative to:

OpenWork is a desktop workspace for knowledge workers who want AI agents to work on their files and connected services. Built on OpenCode, it's a point-and-click alternative to Claude Cowork and Codex.

Model choice: Use Claude, GPT-5, Gemini, or Mistral with your own provider keys, or run local models through Ollama and OpenAI-compatible servers.
Files and browser tasks: Chat with agents about your files and tools, and use browser automation to carry out tasks.
Shared skills and tools: Share skills, MCP servers, plugins, and configurations with teammates, including skills and compatible plugins brought over from Claude Cowork.
Access from other agents: The MCP gateway makes shared capabilities available in compatible clients such as Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex, without requiring the desktop app.

The free desktop app runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux, and doesn't require an OpenWork account for local use. In desktop mode, files stay on your machine; prompts go directly to your chosen LLM provider. Local models are supported, but choosing a cloud provider sends prompts to that service.

Teams can self-host the control plane or use OpenWork Cloud for central administration. Optional hosted workers run on sandboxed cloud infrastructure. The desktop app and core platform use the MIT license. The organization control plane, OpenWork Den, uses the source-available OpenWork EE License, with eligibility limits and subscription requirements for production use.
