About OpenWork
OpenWork
An open-source alternative to Claude Cowork, powered by OpenCode
OpenWork is an extensible, open-source “Claude Work” style system for knowledge workers. It’s a native desktop app that runs OpenCode under the hood, but presents it as a clean, guided workflow: - pick a workspace - start a run - watch progress + plan updates - approve permissions when needed - reuse what works (templates + skills) The goal: make “agentic work” feel like a product, not a terminal.
