What it is

OpenChamber is a workspace for starting AI coding agent sessions, seeing what they changed, and taking that work through review. It is built on the OpenCode agent and can be used as a desktop app, in a browser, inside VS Code, or on iOS and Android. Sessions and projects stay available when you switch devices.

  • Start an agent session on a project and check progress from a phone
  • Run the same task with up to five models in separate sessions and compare results
  • Get an AI-guided walkthrough of a large diff before merging
  • Send a running web app's screenshot and browser errors to the agent from the Preview panel
  • Schedule a recurring prompt, such as a daily or weekly task

Great for

  • Developers who already run AI coding agents and want a single place to manage them
  • People who want to check or steer agent work from a phone or another machine
  • Teams reviewing agent-made changes, including linking sessions to GitHub issues and pull requests
  • Users who want to compare several models on the same task

Not ideal for

  • People who do not use coding agents, since the tool is built around agent sessions
  • Users who need a fully managed hosted service, because it runs on your own machines
  • Anyone who cannot install Node.js 24.14+ or the desktop app for the setup they need
Step-by-step guide: how to use OpenChamberInstall, first run, examples, tips and FAQs

How to get it

  1. 1

    Download the app

    You'll need: Node.js 24.14+ (for CLI/Web only) · OpenCode CLI (for CLI/Web and VS Code)

    Install CLI for Web and PWA

    curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openchamber/openchamber/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

    Start with a UI password

    openchamber --ui-password be-creative-here

    Install Debian/Ubuntu Linux package

    sudo apt install ./OpenChamber-*-linux-amd64.deb
  2. 2

    Run it

    • Download the desktop app from GitHub Releases, or install the VS Code extension from the Marketplace
    • Or run the CLI install script and start OpenChamber with --ui-password
    • Open the app or browser UI and start a session on a project
    • Use openchamber status to check the running instance
  3. 3

    Get the most out of it

    • Use Session Goals so the agent keeps working toward a finish line after each turn
    • Use Multi-run to compare up to five models in separate worktrees
    • Use Private Relay with a QR code pairing to reach your machine without opening ports
    • Use Preview to point at page elements and send the agent screenshots and styles
    • Use scheduled tasks with Session Goals for recurring outcomes

Downloads

Strengths

  • Covers many surfaces (desktop, web/PWA, VS Code, iOS, Android) with the same projects and sessions
  • Desktop releases bundle the matching OpenCode CLI, so no separate install is needed
  • Built on the open-source MIT-licensed OpenCode agent with a clear privacy-oriented remote access design

Trade-offs

  • Many features are described only at a high level in the README; details live in separate guides
  • Web/CLI and VS Code rely on a separately installed OpenCode CLI
  • Remote access options (relay, tunnels, SSH, LAN) add setup choices that need understanding before use
