A native macOS app for [OpenCode](https://opencode.ai). Feels like home - multiple windows, SSH remotes, project actions, and everything running locally.

Full project overview, screenshots, and all features: [github.com/btriapitsyn/openchamber](https://github.com/btriapitsyn/openchamber)

## Install

Download from [Releases](https://github.com/btriapitsyn/openchamber/releases). Available for macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel).

> **Prerequisite:** [OpenCode CLI](https://opencode.ai) installed.

## What makes the desktop app special

- **Remote instances over SSH** - connect to remote OpenChamber servers with dedicated lifecycle and UX flows
- **Project Actions** - run dev servers, configure SSH port forwarding, open remote URLs locally
- **Multi-window** - work on several projects in parallel, each in its own window
- **"Open In" shortcuts** - open workspace in Finder, Terminal, or your editor of choice
- **Local + remote switching** - jump between local and remote OpenChamber instances
- **Native macOS integration** - menus, deep-links, auto-update, and polished window management

Plus everything from the shared OpenChamber UI: branchable timeline, Git sidebar, terminal, voice mode, and more.

## Features

### Core UI

- Branchable chat timeline with `/undo`, `/redo`, and one-click forks from earlier turns
- Smart tool UIs for diffs, file operations, permissions, and long-running task progress
- Multi-agent runs from one prompt with isolated worktrees for safe comparisons
- Git workflows in-app: identities, commits, PR creation, checks, and merge actions
- Context visibility tools (token/cost breakdowns, raw message inspection, and activity summaries)
- Integrated terminal with per-directory sessions and stable performance on heavy output

### Desktop (macOS)

- Native macOS menu integration with polished app actions and deep-link handling
- Multi-window support for parallel project/session workflows
- "Open In" shortcuts for Finder, Terminal, and your preferred editor
- Fast switching between local and remote instances
- Workspace-first startup flow with directory picker and steadier window restore behavior

### Remote Tunnel (Desktop)

- Configure in **Settings -> OpenChamber -> Remote Tunnel**.
- Supported Cloudflare modes: **Quick**, **Managed Remote**, **Managed Local**.
- One active tunnel per Desktop instance. Starting a different mode replaces the current tunnel.
- Replacing or stopping a tunnel revokes existing connect links and invalidates remote tunnel sessions.
- Connect links are one-time tokens; generate a new link for each new connection attempt.

## Development

```bash
git clone https://github.com/btriapitsyn/openchamber.git
