OpenCode
OpenCode is a macOS desktop app for AI-assisted coding, giving developers a local interface to work with code, sessions, and connected model providers.
What is OpenCode?
OpenCode is a desktop AI coding app for developers who want to work with code through a native macOS interface. It helps users run coding sessions, organize active work with tabs, and connect supported AI model providers for code generation, planning, and project assistance. The desktop app is designed as a companion to the broader OpenCode workflow, which also includes terminal-based use and integrations for development environments. Common use cases include exploring unfamiliar codebases, planning changes, drafting edits, and iterating on software tasks with an AI agent. OpenCode also supports customization through configuration, plugins, and connected services, which makes it useful for developers who want a more tailored coding workflow. It is published by Anomaly Innovations, Inc. and is aimed at programming and software development work rather than general consumer productivity.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
OpenCode is legitimate developer software, but it can access project files and interact with connected AI providers as part of its coding workflow. That level of access is normal for an AI coding tool, though you should use extra care when working with sensitive source code, secrets, or proprietary data. Review which provider accounts and plugins you enable, and avoid granting broader access than your development workflow requires.
Recommendation: Keep OpenCode if you actively use it for AI-assisted development on your Mac. If you no longer use it, removing the app is reasonable, but you may also want to clear its saved sessions, configuration, and support files if you want a more complete cleanup.
