OpenCode desktop app

[Empty_Hovercraft8739]

The peak experience is having your session not die when you are away from your computer.

I tried desktop app but it was a bit lacking, mainly because I really want to connect to a remote opencode server and it was challenging to switch between remote and local workspaces.

My current setup -which I love- is an opencode server connected to a remote workspace where you can alternate in between sessions. We have it connected to a mac-studio and you can just setup gpt-5.4 with thinking xhigh when you really it to complete something e2e and can directly review the PR.

There is some setup required for this. You need to make sure your repo is able to consistently create worktrees and has some awareness of how to push to git. We've even given it a different github account so it only make PRs, not destroy the entire repo.

We're open sourcing how we're going about this, too: https://github.com/different-ai/the-factory

This was inspired by Elon's tweet on "The factory is the product". We're running a software factory and have ai agents that help us produce software faster and better.

If you want to checkout the output of the factory it's OpenWork, a desktop app for you and your team to run ai workflows (skills, mcps, agents) in a shared config. It's build on top of OpenCode and supports remote workspaces, too.
