During the dark ages of AI, when Opus 5 was incomprehensible and Codex Ultra was burning all tokens within a day, I decided to give open-source agents and models a try.

What I saw was that a lot of the tools I tried were terminal-first, and desktop apps were less common.

Additionally, I felt that lately a lot of the agents apps are slowly trying to become “superapps”. They keep adding more and more features that imo are not always useful and make the UI quite heavy and complex.

This motivated me to build Wavefunction: A minimal, open-source app desktop app that focuses on the coding experience and tries to reduce unnecessary features.

It doesn’t have a built in browser and its computer use functionality works in a VM.

I built it on top of langgraph and it’s packaged as a tauri desktop app.

Currently, It works with Vercel AI Gateway, OpenRouter, Anthropic API key, Google AI Studio API key, and you can log in with your ChatGPT account or use a local model with Ollama.

It also has 70+ connectors.

Last, but not least, you can also require ZDR-only models from the providers.

  If you try it out I would love to hear your feedback! Thanks!
