Btw in my quest for a good desktop codex/claude like app - https://github.com/openchamber/openchamber - this seems to be front-runner. I pair it with OMP via https://github.com/alvins82/omp-openchamber-server/.

I wanted a powerful GUI+harness setup for open models so I could use/test as they came out.

I like Paseo https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo

But I am annoyed at these GUIs implementing features I don’t care about. I want them to just wrap my harness and forward it to my iPhone, but they can’t help themselves from feature creep.

I did try this - I found it overly dev focused - e.g. git +/- changes in left sidebar. I wanted something close to what I am use to with Codex/Claude - just for open models.

I've been impressed with orca

I did have some issues getting it installed on a headless server. I sort of gave up and installed the instance that I use as the remote server on a Debian + xfce machine I had laying around.

I found it appalling when working with remote setup — tabs disappearing and appearing after some time, screen hangs up, projects disappear. Tried to fix some issues with PR, but team is not accepting for 2w+.

DeepSeek harness is for you

i liked paseo too but its not optimized at all. let alone the feature bloat.

What do you use then?

I created my own in-browser terminal, so it can sit in chrome, accessible, and with some enhancements like animating the tab when the agent is doing some work. It's a layer on top of ttyd/tmux.
