Chat with any model. Run a code agent. Design interfaces. Hand a goal to a team of agents and get real files back. Five tools in one window, one config. Your API keys stay on your Mac.

Your AI tools live in separate windows, with separate keys, that never talk to each other. You copy-paste between them and reconfigure the same model three times a day. OpenAxis ends that.
Chat, code, design, work, and orchestration sit in a single native sidebar. Each opens in its own view and keeps its state when you switch.
Enter your API keys once. A local proxy holds them and feeds every tool. No per-app setup, no keys pasted into five settings panels.
A shared profile, project context, and tagged facts follow you across every tool, so you stop re-explaining who you are and what you're building (under maintenance — coming soon).
Two are built into OpenAxis. Three are mature open-source tools, wrapped without touching their source. Same keys, same theme, same memory.
Talk to any model with history, attachments, web search, and per-model reasoning effort. No second app.
Describe a goal. A team of agents plans, builds, and checks the work, then writes real files you can ship.
OpenCode, the terminal-grade agent from SST. Reads and writes files, runs commands, in its own sandboxed view.
Open Design generates and refines mockups in HTML, CSS, and SVG. No terminal. The app launches it for you.
OpenWork handles structured work and documents. Your projects and their instructions follow you everywhere.
A profile and tagged facts that carry across sessions (under maintenance — coming soon). Only the relevant ones enter each request. No more repeating yourself.
You get a folder of real, working files. Not a chat transcript.
The orchestrator is an interactive assistant. Type what you need in plain language — it plans the work as a visual DAG you can inspect: researchers, writers, designers, coders, verifiers, wired into a dependency graph. They execute in order, pass results downstream, and write real files to disk.
Here's what makes it real: a deterministic quality gate reads the output and force-fails on broken imports, missing files, dead links, or two agents that wrote incompatible APIs. The model never gets the final word on whether the work is correct. When something breaks, only the responsible agent is relaunched.
A small server runs on your machine, routes every request to the right provider, and injects your context along the way. No Docker. No cloud.
Chat, code, work, design, orchestration — five slots, one config. Add a key, every slot can use it.
Your real keys are stored in an encrypted file (~/Library/Application Support/openaxis/secrets.enc, AES-256-GCM), load into memory, and route through a localhost-only proxy. The tools only ever see a local token.
The wrapped tools are cloned unmodified. Every customization lives in CSS and JS injection. Upstream updates land clean — no merge conflicts.
There's no OpenAxis server. There's nothing to sign up for. Everything runs and stays on your Mac.
OpenAxis has no backend. Your projects, memory, and chats live in your home folder. Nothing leaves without you telling it to.
MIT licensed. The proxy, the secret handling, the override layer, all auditable. If you don't trust it, read it.
Drag OpenAxis to your Applications folder, then add your API keys in the Config panel. Apple Silicon, macOS 14 and up.
