Overview

OpenWork is an open-source desktop app for macOS, Windows and Linux that runs AI agents against your own files, built on OpenCode.

Skills, MCP servers, plugins and configs can be packaged into a single link teammates import in one click.

Best for: Teams wanting a local, open-source AI agent desktop app and a way to share setups across the org
Pricing: Free open-source desktop tier, Team starter at $10 per seat per month with the first 5 seats free, and Enterprise at custom pricing.
Runs on: WebmacOSWindowsLinuxSelf-hosted

Strengths

Free, open-source desktop app with bring-your-own provider keys

Skills, MCPs and configs share as one link, imported in one click

Trade-offs

You supply and pay for LLM API keys separately
MCP access verified only in OpenCode; other clients are setup guides only
Pricing page lists macOS and Linux downloads; the FAQ also claims Windows
SSO, SCIM and self-hosted inference need a custom-priced Enterprise plan
