Deskto: Claude Cowork, but open source

the app

Claude Code and Codex, one window.

Pick Claude Code or Codex for each task. A dot on every task shows where it stands, and results come back as files in an inbox.

what deskto does

01
A workspace for each part of your work
Sales and ops each get their own workspace, with their own projects and skill packs. Attach a pack once and every project inside has the same playbooks.
02
Projects are folders on your disk
Open a folder you already have or let Deskto create one. Agents work inside it and nowhere else. Results land as files you can open.
03
An inbox, not a chat list
Tasks run in the background and come back as things to review. Pin them, snooze them, mark them done. A failed task stays until you deal with it; a quiet one closes itself.
04
One agent can hire more
Give an agent a big job and it can split it into child tasks that run side by side, each on whichever agent fits. Every child is a real task with its own conversation and approvals, and it can search what you have done before.
05
Approvals come to you
By default an agent stops before a command that could do damage. The request waits in your inbox until you answer, and a task waiting on you is never hidden.
06
Your subscription, not another bill
Claude Code and Codex run on your machine, on the plans you already pay for. Sign in to each once. Every task picks its agent and model.
