Open Coworker
Open source · MIT · soft launch v0.1

An AI coworker that lives on your desktop.

Open Coworker is a free, open-source desktop app. Chat, work in your codebase, or hand off a task and get a finished deliverable back — from an agent that runs on your machine, keeps its memory there, and works with the model provider you choose.

macOS 13+ (Apple silicon) · Windows 10+ · or run it from source

01 — Chat

Ask anything

Quick questions, brainstorming, thinking out loud. Spin up a session, get an answer, move on.

02 — Code

Work in a repo

Point it at a codebase. It reads, edits, runs and tests — like a pair programmer with hands.

03 — Cowork

Get deliverables

Hand off a real task — a memo, an analysis, a data pull — and get the finished file back.

04 — MyHelper

Always on

One persistent helper with long-term memory, reachable from the app — or Slack and Telegram.

Open source, all the way down.

MIT license Python + React Any model provider Local-first

The agent engine, the desktop app, the connectors — every part of Open Coworker is on GitHub under the MIT license. Read it, fork it, point it at your own models.

No account, no telemetry, no lock-in. Bring an API key from the provider you already use — or run a local model — and your sessions, files and memory stay on your machine.
