A native macOS app for OpenCode. Feels like home - multiple windows, SSH remotes, project actions, and everything running locally.
Full project overview, screenshots, and all features: github.com/btriapitsyn/openchamber
Install
Download from Releases. Available for macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel).
Prerequisite: OpenCode CLI 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.
