* fix: keep work-status panel reachable when all sections are hidden
When every section was unchecked in the Panel Sections dialog, the panel
went transparent and inert, making the settings gear icon unreachable.
The only recovery was knowing to toggle the panel off and on from the
header, which still rendered the same empty/inert state.
Changes:
- Panel stays interactive (not inert) when visible, even with zero
rendered sections. This matches how other panels in the app use inert
only for visually-collapsed (width/height = 0) states.
- Empty state shows 'No sections selected' with a link to reopen the
sections dialog, matching the centered text-muted-foreground pattern
used by the file tree, review panel, and home page empty states.
- Sections dialog gains a 'Show all' link (visible whenever any section
is hidden) and a warning when all sections are unchecked, matching the
keybinds settings 'Reset to defaults' pattern.
- Added i18n keys to all 10 locale files (English fallback).
Fixes#2804
* Round 1: fix interactive guard for fresh-mount; translate i18n keys
Address openchamber-bot review findings:
1. (blocker) Replace English fallback strings in all 10 non-English
locale files with real translations per locale-ui-patterns guidance.
2. (non-blocker) Restore the renderedSections > 0 guard for the
transient no-data-on-mount state so the panel doesn't flash a bare
bordered card. The interactive condition is now:
visible && (renderedSections > 0 || allSectionsHidden)
Empty-state rendering is gated on allSectionsHidden alone (not
renderedSections === 0) so it works correctly on fresh mount when
all sections were already hidden in persisted settings.
Validation:
tsc --noEmit: 0 errors
bun test work-status: 34 pass, 0 fail
* Round 2: use .every() guard, dedup chooseLabel key, add tests
1. Replace >= length check with areAllWorkStatusSectionsHidden() helper
that uses .every() — stale section ids left in persisted settings
from a future removal can no longer inflate the count.
2. Remove duplicate chooseLabel i18n key from all 11 locales — the
empty-state link now reuses the existing sections.open key.
3. Add 6 focused tests for areAllWorkStatusSectionsHidden covering
empty, null/undefined, partial, full, stale-id, and stale+full.
Validation:
tsc --noEmit: 0 errors
bun test work-status: 40 pass (6 new), 0 fail
OpenChamber is an open-source workspace for running, supervising, and reviewing AI coding work across desktop, browser, editor, and mobile.
OpenChamber gives you one place to direct agent work, understand the changes, and move them toward release. Your projects stay available when you switch devices or step away.

What you can do with OpenChamber
Goals that continue on their own
Give a session a finish line with Session Goals. OpenChamber checks the result after every turn and keeps the agent working until the goal is complete, blocked, or reaches the limit you set — even after you close the app.
Compare and combine runs
Use Multi-run to give the same task to up to five models, each in its own session and optionally its own worktree. See what each one actually built, choose the best result, or use Fusion to combine the strongest parts into a new session.
Guided changes walkthroughs
Changes Walkthrough turns a large diff into an AI-guided tour of the change. It groups related edits into steps, puts them in the order the change makes sense, and explains how the pieces fit together.
Inspect a running app
Open your app beside the conversation with Preview. Point at an element and send the agent its screenshot, styles, position, and browser errors — all the context behind “this thing here.” Desktop brings the same workflow to any web page through its built-in browser.
GitHub context from issue to pull request
Start a session from a GitHub issue or pull request with its context attached. Send failed checks or review comments back to the agent, then update or merge the pull request from OpenChamber.
Continue on another device
Open the same projects and sessions from Desktop, Web/PWA, VS Code, iOS, or Android. Check progress, answer questions, review changes, and reattach to a running terminal.
Private remote access
Pair a device with a one-time QR code and connect through Private Relay without opening ports or exposing a public server. The connection is end-to-end encrypted and can be revoked at any time. Direct connections, LAN/VPN access, Cloudflare/Ngrok tunnels, and SSH are also supported.
Track work across projects
See which sessions are working, waiting, finished, or failed, along with approvals, scheduled tasks, provider limits, token use, and costs. Organize sessions into folders and keep notes, todos, and reusable project actions nearby.
Schedule recurring work
Run a prompt once, daily, weekly, or on a cron schedule. Scheduled tasks can use Session Goals, so they continue toward an outcome instead of stopping after one response.

Quick start
Desktop — macOS, Windows, and Linux
Download the latest release from GitHub Releases. Desktop bundles the matching OpenCode CLI, so no separate OpenCode installation is required.
Linux releases are available as x86_64 and ARM64 AppImages. Make the downloaded AppImage executable and keep it in a writable location for in-app updates:
OpenChamber uses OpenCode to power its coding agents. We chose it because we believe it provides the best open-source agentic coding experience today: capable, extensible, and open by design.
Around that foundation, OpenChamber brings together the work that happens before, during, and after an agent run — deciding what to try, keeping it on track, reviewing the result, connecting from anywhere, and getting the change shipped.
OpenChamber is an independent project and is not affiliated with the OpenCode team.
