Real BarkOS MVP: agent sessions, assignments and status represented inside the live pixel office.

[!IMPORTANT]
BarkOS is an early preview. It can run tools and modify files with the permissions you grant. Use Git, review high-risk actions, and keep important work backed up.

Why BarkOS

Most agent tools give you another chat window. BarkOS gives you an operating company:

Codex lead agent interprets the objective, makes staffing decisions, and owns the final result.
Project reader maps the repository before work begins and turns findings into an executable plan.
Claude and OpenCode specialists are assigned per task for deep review, refactors, parallel implementation, or provider fallback.
Live pixel office represents real agent sessions and their current state instead of decorative animation.
Isolated workspaces let agents work in parallel without trampling the same files.
Audited decisions and permission gates keep provider choice below user authority.
Turkish-first desktop experience makes the full workflow understandable without terminal knowledge.

    Review, evidence, delivery

The lead selects the provider for each worker, but never gains more filesystem, shell, browser, or network authority than the user granted.

Current provider policy

Provider	Default role
Codex	Lead agent, general implementation, coordination, final decision
Claude Code	Deep review, large refactors, architecture, documentation
OpenCode	Independent parallel implementation and provider fallback

Provider assignments are recorded in the staffing plan. Users can still add or remove workers, and risk controls remain authoritative.

Install the preview

Download the Apple Silicon macOS preview, open the DMG, and drag BarkOS into Applications. Release notes and previous builds are available under GitHub Releases.

The current preview is not notarized. On macOS, right-click BarkOS and choose Open on first launch if Gatekeeper asks for confirmation.

Agent CLIs

BarkOS discovers supported agents from your PATH. Sign in to the providers you want to use:

# Codex
curl -fsSL https://chatgpt.com/codex/install.sh | sh
codex

# Claude Code
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
claude

# OpenCode
opencode

Provider subscriptions, API usage, and rate limits belong to their respective providers; BarkOS does not bundle paid model access.

Build from source

Requirements: Node.js 24, pnpm, Git, and macOS for a macOS package.
