iPolloWork: Coordinate AI Agents and Edit Their Work

Overview

iPolloWork is a desktop workbench for people and agent teams who want to manage projects across multiple AI agent runtimes in one place. It gives teams a shared view of tasks, execution, and results instead of requiring a separate project workflow for each engine.

It also extends the workflow beyond code: generated documents, presentations, websites, designs, and video can remain editable. The app runs locally, with an optional connection to iPolloCloud for organization and account features.

Key Features

• Use OpenCode as the default local runtime, with optional Codex and DeepSeek Harness integrations.
• Track project tasks, schedules, execution health, and results in a shared workspace for people and agents.
• Manage portable plugins, Skills, MCP servers, and related capabilities through a unified extension lifecycle.
• Create and continue editing code, documents, websites, presentations, designs, and video.
• Review permissions and execution, and use a model or provider of your choice.
• Operate the desktop UI from external clients through the ipollowork-ui-mcp control surface.
• Work locally without an account; connect to iPolloCloud when organization services are needed.

Use Cases

• A development team coordinating work across OpenCode and Codex can use shared project tasks while retaining each runtime's own execution model.
• A team using DeepSeek Harness can delegate bounded work to its subagents and bring progress back into the project workspace.
• Creators who want agents to produce a presentation, website, design, or video, then edit the result rather than accept a finished export, can use the integrated creative workflow.
• Individual developers who want a local desktop workspace for agents, plugins, and project work can use it without connecting to Cloud.

Getting Started

For a desktop install, choose the installer for your operating system and CPU from GitHub Releases. To run from source on macOS or Linux:

git clone https://github.com/Devin-AXIS/iPolloWork.git
cd iPolloWork
corepack enable
./ipollowork setup
./ipollowork dev

See the README for Windows instructions, build requirements, and runtime setup.

License in Plain Words

No standard license was detected. Without a license, the default copyright rules apply: you may read the code, but not reuse it. Check the repository or ask the authors.

Alternatives

• Kun: Kun spans coding, writing, design, research, and automation, with a terminal TUI alongside its desktop GUI; iPolloWork centers on a desktop workbench.
• codeg: codeg focuses on coding-agent conversations and code changes across desktop, self-hosted, and Docker setups, while iPolloWork also targets creative outputs.
• agent-orchestrator: Agent Orchestrator centers on Git-backed coding tasks, isolated worktrees, and PR/CI review, unlike iPolloWork's broader multi-engine workbench.
• OpenMausBot: OpenMausBot organizes local agent CLIs as chat contacts and connects them to computers and apps, while iPolloWork emphasizes tasks, extensions, and editable outputs.

Considerations

• The project is active, with regular commits and releases, and contributions from multiple people; recent pull requests have merged quickly. Activity does not by itself establish the maturity of every runtime integration.
• Source development requires Node.js 22 or newer, pnpm, and Bun for the Orchestrator sidecar. The README also lists platform-specific build tools.
• The default OpenCode runtime and optional Codex and DeepSeek Harness integrations have separate compatibility boundaries. DeepSeek Harness is described as a developer preview, so its plugin compatibility follows its active release line.
• The license is source-available, not OSI-approved. It restricts use by teams of three or more and requires prior written authorization for sales, paid services, SaaS, hosting, and customer-facing use. Review the license before adoption.
• Cloud is optional, but identity, organization administration, hosted worker lifecycle, and commercial Apps are handled by iPolloCloud rather than the local app.
