GitHub describes it as The open-source alternative to Claude Cowork (powered by opencode). The repository metadata lists TypeScript as its primary language. The metadata lists the NOASSERTION license. The README describes the project this way: OpenWork is a free, open-source desktop app made for sharing AI workflows. It is an open-source alternative to Claude Cowork and Codex for macOS, Windows, and Linux.

The README section "OpenWork" states: Add one OpenWork MCP to Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, or another compatible agent and reuse the same skills, MCPs, and connected services across your tools, teammates, and machines. Create something once, share it with coworkers or friends, or keep it for yourself.

The README section "OpenWork" states: The desktop app is there when you want a dedicated workspace, but it is not required. You can use OpenWork from the agent you already have. For larger organizations, the admin interface lets you publish capabilities, manage access, and configure shared or per-user connections.

The README section "Install with your AI agent" states: Already use an AI agent? Copy this prompt and paste it into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, ChatGPT, or any agent that can run commands on your computer.

The repository README is the source for this review. It does not replace a local installation or an independent test.
