OMP Desktop

A workspace for OMP coding sessions, with persistent terminals, tabbed spaces, and an optional native Linux window.

  2. Running it

OMP Desktop brings OMP coding sessions into a browser workspace or an optional native Linux window.

The workspace

Organise sessions into spaces with up to four terminal panes. Switch between live and saved sessions, move panes between spaces, and drop local file paths into a session without uploading their contents.

The daemon owns the sessions: closing a pane or window detaches the view rather than stopping the work. Sessions can also be accessed through OMP Mobile.

Running it

The source release requires Bun, Git, and OMP. The browser workspace runs against a local daemon; the optional native window also requires Linux and the Rust build tools.

The desktop API has no authentication and must stay on loopback. For phone access, use the authenticated Mobile gateway instead of exposing the desktop port.
