different-ai/openwork is a macOS/Windows/Linux desktop app built on opencode letting non-technical staff work with agents on local files, shipping v0.18.12 on July 30. YC's launch post cites over 150K downloads, with on-prem deployment and support for 50+ LLM providers as the differentiators. The design detail worth stealing: the entire shared catalog of skills, plugins, connections, Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 capabilities is exposed through exactly two MCP tools, search_capabilities and execute_capability, which keeps tool-definition context flat regardless of catalog size. 396 open issues, so it's moving fast.
