OpenPilot: open-source desktop AI agent for any model you choose
Electron desktop app by solo dev Ibrahim: paste a base URL + key + model name (OpenAI, OpenRouter, Ollama/LM Studio), pick a folder, and get a Cursor-style agent with tool-call cards, approval gates for sensitive actions, skills, MCP servers, and per-model token usage.
Why it matters
Open-source answer to the Cursor-style agent without the IDE lock-in or subscription — run it on any model including fully local ones, pointed at any folder you choose.
What you could build with it
A freelancer juggling several client projects in separate folders could point OpenPilot at each workspace and drive multi-step file edits with a local model, keeping client code on-device while still getting agentic coding help.
Does it hold up?
Too early to judge — launched on Product Hunt today; the developer is upfront that Windows works, macOS builds are an early unsigned beta, there is no Linux build yet, and small local models struggle with long multi-step work.
