Overview
iPolloWork is an Electron desktop app written in TypeScript that puts several agent engines behind one project workspace. OpenCode is the default local runtime, with Codex and DeepSeek Harness as optional adapters. It manages plugins, Skills, tasks and schedules through one lifecycle, and keeps generated documents, decks, designs and video editable. An optional iPolloCloud service handles accounts and organizations.
Who it is for: Individuals and small teams wanting one workspace for several coding agents
Strengths
- One UI over OpenCode, Codex and DeepSeek Harness via a shared engine protocol
- Installers for macOS, Windows and Linux on both x64 and ARM64
- Works locally without an account; the Cloud connection is optional
- ipollowork-ui-mcp lets external MCP clients drive the desktop
Weaknesses
- Source-available license, not OSI open source; three or more users need written authorization
- Hosting, SaaS or customer-facing use requires prior written authorization
- Building from source needs Node 22, pnpm 11 and Bun 1.3.10 or newer
- DeepSeek Harness support targets a developer preview and may change between releases
What it needs
- Needs OpenCode (sidecar), Node.js 22+, pnpm 11, Bun 1.3.10+, Codex (optional), DeepSeek Harness (optional), iPolloCloud (optional)
- Models: OpenCode providers, Codex, DeepSeek Harness
