Pane frames, z-order, minimized state, tabs, and active account come back with the project — to the pixel.

The workspace
The workspace
that remembers
everything.
OpenDesk saves each project as a live desktop of web apps, accounts, panes, tabs, and AI context. Reopen the full window, exactly intact — no syncing, no cloud, no telemetry.

One desk for every project.
Stop rebuilding your workspace from scratch every morning. OpenDesk captures the full shape of your work — and brings it back in a single click.
-
01
Open your apps
Launch the web apps you need. Sign in with the right accounts — each pane gets its own isolated session.
-
02
Arrange the desk
Resize, stack, and z-order panes until the layout feels right. Snap Assist gives you balanced, focus, columns, and grid.
-
03
Save the workspace
OpenDesk captures every detail — tabs, sessions, layout state, window frames, and notes — locally.
-
04
Pick up anywhere
Reopen a project and the entire desk returns. Same accounts. Same panes. Same context.
-
05
Work with context
Agent Chat, Command Palette, and Notes live inside the workspace — never leave the flow to think.
02 · Sessions
Every account, perfectly partitioned.
Each pane runs in its own Chromium partition. Cookies, logins, and local storage never cross. Open three Gmail accounts at once — they don't know about each other.
- Per-pane session isolation
- Multiple accounts of the same app, side by side
- Account-aware Gmail and Google Workspace targeting
- Tab groups and window frames preserved exactly
- z-order, minimized state, and active accounts saved
Mail A, Work, Client, and Personal stay isolated even when the same app appears twice on the same desk.
Move a workspace setup between machines without moving login cookies or hidden browser data.
03 · Privacy
Local-first by design.
OpenDesk runs entirely on your machine. Your data, your sessions, and your AI context never leave the device unless you explicitly export or wire up a hosted model.
- Runs fully offline after install
- All workspace data stored locally on disk
- Local Agent Chat for context-aware commands
- Export and import setups securely
- You are in control, always
Storage
Workspace data written to the local OpenDesk layout store.
Sessions
Each account runs in its own persistent Chromium partition.
AI context
Agent Chat uses saved metadata and explicit readable captures.
Transfer
Exports include setup metadata, not browser login sessions.
Telemetry
None. Ever.
Accounts
No OpenDesk account required — your machine is the account.
Simple, honest pricing.
One-time install. Two plans. No seat creep.
