Remove the 'OpenChamber for Actions' feature that ran OpenChamber on GitHub runners via Cloudflare/Ngrok tunnels. This was a separate deployment target with its own lifecycle scripts and documentation that added maintenance overhead without benefiting local usage. Deleted: - .github/workflows/opencode.yml (Actions workflow) - scripts/monitor.sh (service self-heal loop) - scripts/persistence-save.sh (artifact encryption/upload) - scripts/persistence-restore.sh (artifact decrypt/restore) - scripts/opencode-config.sh (Actions config bootstrap) - docs/OPENCHAMBER_FOR_ACTIONS.md (user guide) Updated: - README.md: removed 'GitHub Actions (Cloud Usage)' section Local Cloudflare Quick Tunnel support (--try-cf-tunnel) is unaffected.

Web and desktop interface for the [OpenCode](https://opencode.ai) AI coding agent. Works alongside the OpenCode TUI.
|
|
|
|
The OpenCode team is actively working on their own desktop app. I still decided to release this project as a fan-made alternative.
|
|
|
|
It was entirely built with OpenCode tool - first with the TUI version, then with the first usable version of OpenChamber, which I then used to build the rest.
|
|
|
|
The whole project was built entirely with AI coding agents under my supervision. It started as a hobby project and proof of concept that AI agents can create genuinely usable software.

## Why use OpenChamber?
|
|
|
|
- **Cross-device continuity**: Start in TUI, continue on tablet/phone, return to terminal - same session
|
|
- **Remote access**: Use OpenCode from anywhere via browser
|
|
- **Familiarity**: A visual alternative for developers who prefer GUI workflows
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
### Core (all app versions)
|
|
|
|
- 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
|
|
- Voice mode with speech input and read-aloud responses for hands-free workflows
|
|
- Multi-agent runs from one prompt with isolated worktrees for safe side-by-side comparisons
|
|
- Git workflows in-app: identities, commits, PR creation, checks, and merge actions
|
|
- GitHub-native workflows: start sessions from issues and pull requests with context already attached
|
|
- Plan/Build mode with a dedicated plan view for drafting and iterating implementation steps
|
|
- Inline comment drafts on diffs, files, and plans that can be sent back to the agent
|
|
- Context visibility tools (token/cost breakdowns, raw message inspection, and activity summaries)
|
|
- Integrated terminal with per-directory sessions and stable performance on heavy output
|
|
- Built-in skills catalog and local skill management for reusable automation workflows
|
|
|
|
### Web / PWA
|
|
|
|
- Cloudflare Quick Tunnel for instant remote access (`--try-cf-tunnel`)
|
|
- One-scan onboarding with tunnel QR + password URL helpers
|
|
- Mobile-first experience: optimized chat controls, keyboard-safe layouts, and attachment-friendly UI
|
|
- Background notifications plus reliable cross-tab session activity tracking
|
|
- Built-in self-update + restart flow that keeps your server settings intact
|
|
|
|
### 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
|
|
|
|
### VS Code Extension
|
|
|
|
- Editor-native workflow: open files directly from tool output and keep sessions beside your code
|
|
- Agent Manager for parallel multi-model runs from a single prompt
|
|
- Right-click actions to add context, explain selections, and improve code in-place
|
|
- In-extension settings, responsive layout, and theme mapping that matches your editor
|
|
- Hardened runtime lifecycle and health checks for faster startup and fewer stuck reconnect states
|
|
|
|
