Desktop & IDE

OpenCode is available as a desktop app and IDE extension in addition to the terminal TUI. The desktop app provides the same experience in a standalone window. The IDE extension integrates OpenCode directly into VS Code.

What you'll learn

• Desktop app: standalone window with the same TUI experience
• IDE extension: OpenCode inside VS Code
• All three surfaces share the same AGENTS.md context and configuration

Build it

Download the desktop app from opencode.ai or install the VS Code extension from the marketplace. Both share the same provider configuration and AGENTS.md files.

Desktop and terminal sessions conflict	Both trying to edit the same file	Use one surface at a time per project
