OpenCove 🌌

An infinite canvas for Claude Code, Codex, terminals, tasks, and notes.

Keep every agent, terminal, task, and note on one infinite canvas.

See parallel work at a glance, keep context visible, and resume exactly where you left off.

📖 What is OpenCove?

OpenCove is a spatial development workspace for people who work with AI coding agents every day.

Instead of burying work inside tabs, sidebars, and long chat threads, OpenCove puts your AI agents, terminals, tasks, and notes on the same infinite 2D canvas, so the full state of your work stays visible.

It is built for workflows like:

• Running multiple Claude Code or Codex sessions side by side
• Keeping task plans, notes, and terminal output in one shared workspace
• Switching projects without losing layout, context, or execution history

✨ Highlights

• 🌌 Infinite spatial canvas: Arrange terminals, notes, tasks, and agent sessions the way you actually think.
• 🤖 Built for CLI agents: Optimized for Claude Code, Codex, and similar terminal-native agent workflows.
• 🧠 Context stays visible: Planning, execution, and results live together instead of getting buried in linear chat history.
• 💾 Persistent workspaces: Restore your viewport, layout, terminal output, and agent state after restarts.
• 🗂️ Space archives: Snapshot and revisit previous workspace states when you need to jump back into old contexts.
• 🖼️ Rich media and smart layouts: Paste images, multi-select nodes, use label colors, and tidy messy boards quickly.
• 🔍 Global search and control center: Search across the canvas and terminal output, then manage active sessions from one place.
• 🗂️ Workspace isolation: Separate projects cleanly with directories and git worktrees.

💡 Why OpenCove?

OpenCove is designed around a simple idea: agent workflows are easier to reason about when context is spatial, not hidden.

Pain Point (Traditional)	The OpenCove Workspace
Linear amnesia: context disappears into long chat histories.	Spatial context: important tasks, notes, and execution stay visible on the canvas.
Single-pane bottlenecks: tabs and split panes force constant context switching.	Parallel execution: compare and monitor multiple agents without losing your place.
Opaque automation: background agent work feels like a black box.	Transparent actions: terminals and side effects stay visible while work is happening.

🚀 Getting Started

OpenCove is currently in Alpha. We recommend it for early adopters and power users who want to explore spatial AI workflows.
