alphaXiv ships OpenResearch desktop app to turn coding agents into research agents
gekobraa · x · 2026-09-30
OpenResearch, alphaXiv's open-source project (6.1k GitHub stars) that turns coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and Cursor into research agents for literature review, hypothesis development, and experiments, is now a desktop app with native builds for macOS (Apple Silicon + Intel), Windows, and Linux. It's local-first: install the CLI via curl, run orx up, and a dashboard opens at http://127.0.0.1:4791. The repo ships agent skills, system prompts, and sandboxed execution, emphasizing full ownership of the research stack.
