Claxedo vs. OpenCode
OpenCode is a superb open terminal engine — and one of the harnesses Claxedo supports. Claxedo is the multi-user workspace around that class of engine: reach it from any device, coordinate durably, and self-host it for your team.
01 · Side by side
The capabilities that decide it.
Capability OpenCode Claxedo
What it is Open-source terminal coding agent (engine) Open-source workspace + framework you self-host
Team / multi-user None — local; /share is a public read-only link Multi-user — accounts + org scoping (Clerk+Convex profile today)
Harnesses Is the agent — 75+ model providers, bring your own key Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, + any CLI via ACP
Interfaces TUI (terminal-first), desktop (beta), IDE extension Chat UI + first-class terminal
Platforms Terminal (Mac/Win/Linux) Desktop (Mac/Win/Linux) + web + mobile web
Remote access Local-only by default (binds 127.0.0.1) Relay — reach the same session from any device
Durable work ledger None — independent sessions WorkGraph — every task, attempt, and approval is a durable record that outlives sessions and restarts
Self-host Partial — self-hostable server, but local-only Yes — single node, or Clerk+Convex on your own Cloudflare
License MIT Open source
Backing Anomaly (ex-SST) · ~$1.1–1.6M seed (YC / Greylock) Independent · open source
Pricing Free (MIT) + optional paid Zen model gateway Free during beta; bring your own provider + sandbox
02 · Where OpenCode is genuinely better
- Truly provider-agnostic — 75+ providers, bring your own key, no model lock-in.
- A clean client/server design with an OpenAPI spec and a type-safe SDK.
- MIT and self-hostable, including a self-hostable share server.
- Terminal-native with LSP and MCP; a large, active community.
03 · Where Claxedo differs
- OpenCode is the engine/harness; Claxedo is the multi-user workspace around it — and runs OpenCode inside it.
- Reach your sessions from any device via the relay (OpenCode binds to localhost).
- WorkGraph durable coordination across sessions (OpenCode sessions are independent).
- Team accounts and review surfaces (OpenCode's /share is a read-only link).
04 · Which should you pick
you want a multi-user workspace around it (and other harnesses) with remote access and durable coordination — OpenCode still runs inside.
