The agent keeps working toward it, turn after turn — even with the app closed\. ### Multi\-run and Fusion Run one task across up to five models\. Keep the best result, or fuse the strongest parts\. ### Changes Walkthrough A large diff, grouped into ordered steps that explain how the change fits together\. ### Preview Point at an element in your running app and send the agent everything behind it\. ### From issue to pull request Start from a GitHub issue or PR, send failed checks back, and merge without leaving\. ### Scheduled work Run a prompt on a cron schedule\. Pair it with Session Goals to aim at an outcome\. ### Desktop app - macOS, Windows, and Linux apps - Multi\-window project workflows - Open In shortcuts for Finder, Terminal, and your editor - Project Actions for dev servers, SSH forwarding, and local URLs ### Browser / PWA / Mobile - Browser access from anywhere - Phone\- and tablet\-friendly controls - A native mobile app, now in beta - A UI password gate that makes browser access public\-ready - Background notifications and cross\-tab session activity ### Code editor - Editor\-native workflow - Open files directly from tool output - Right\-click context actions on selections and files - Agent Manager for parallel multi\-model runs > After years of switching between IDEs and TUIs, I found the sweet spot for everything I need:*Openchamber*\. ![Harsha Kotcherlakota](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/14947763?v=4) "I just want to say the app itself is phenomenal\. The level of polish is just unreal\. I saw OpenChamber back when it was a small project, I think maybe a couple months ago, and now it is unrecognizable\. Truly amazing work\. The latest release with its streaming feature is everything I could have possibly asked for and more\. It is gorgeous and smooth\." ![Srikanth.CashlessConsumer](https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/710679758858637312/pbhx-qP__400x400.jpg) Srikanth\.CashlessConsumer "Opencode \+ OhMyOpencode \+ Openchamber\.

The connection is end\-to\-end encrypted and can be revoked at any time\. #### Privacy is inspectable OpenChamber is open source, so the privacy model is visible in the code instead of hidden behind policy language\. Yes\. OpenChamber is open source, and the code is available on GitHub\. OpenChamber runs on the OpenCode SDK today — we picked it for the best open\-source agent experience available\. Install it with`curl \-fsSL https://opencode\.ai/install \| bash`\. Yes\. OpenChamber itself is free to use\. Yes\. You can open it remotely through the browser UI, use tunnels when needed, and protect access with a UI password\. More questions?[Check the documentation](https://docs.openchamber.dev/)
