Organize your files

OpenWork scans your messy folders, proposes a clean structure, and moves files after you approve.

How it works

OpenWork runs on your computer. You describe what you want, it figures out how, and you approve before anything changes.

Generate Plan
1

Share what you want to achieve

It all starts with your prompt and access to your tools and files. Describe what you want help with, point OpenWork to your folder, and it gets started.

2

OpenWork figures it out and executes

OpenWork breaks the task into steps. It scans files, drafts content, and prepares actions. You can watch progress in real time.

Cancel
Approve
3

You’re in control, from approving to reviewing

You choose which folders OpenWork can access. Before it acts, it shows you the plan. You approve changes before they happen.

Build once, share with your team

Package any workflow as a skill. Your coworkers can run it on their machine with one click.

Shareable skills

Turn any automation into a reusable skill. Share it with your team or the community.

Runs on any machine

macOS, Windows, Linux. Install OpenWork and run the same skills anywhere.

Any model you want

GPT, Claude, Gemini, Llama, or local models. Use whatever you already pay for.

Stay in control

You decide access

OpenWork can't see anything you don't explicitly add. You control the scope.

Approval before action

OpenWork proposes a plan first. It only deletes or overwrites files if you say yes.

No vendor lock-in

Switch models anytime. Use local LLMs, OpenAI, Anthropic, or others via OpenCode.

FAQ

What's the difference between OpenWork and regular chat?

Regular chat gives you text answers. OpenWork can perform actions—like creating files, editing folders, and running commands—on your local machine, after you approve them.

Is it free?

Yes. OpenWork is open source. You can download and use it for free. You only pay for model usage (API keys) if you use paid cloud models. Local models are free.

What models can I use?

Any model supported by OpenCode — over 50 providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Groq, or local models via Ollama/LM Studio. See models.dev for the full list.

Can I share automations with my team?

Yes. Package any workflow as a skill and share it. Your coworkers can install and run it on their own machines.

Is it safe?

OpenWork runs locally. It cannot access files or run commands without your permission. You see a plan before any file is touched.
