# I built Velloc Code: an open-source desktop coding agent with multi-model workflows > Source: > Published: 2026-08-21 20:31:53+00:00 I've been using coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode for a while now. They've genuinely changed how I work — but almost all of them live in the terminal. I really like the openness and model independence of tools like OpenCode. What I wanted was that same flexibility inside something that feels like a real desktop application: install it, add an API key, open a project, and start working. So I built [Velloc Code](https://velloc.app) — an open-source, Windows-first desktop coding agent. Terminal/TUI agents are great, and I'm not trying to replace them. The argument for a desktop app is simple: The philosophy is: *make the default experience easy, and don't lock anyone in.* The core idea is that one model doesn't have to do everything. You can start with a single model and a single agent. When you outgrow that, you can assign different models to different agents or tasks: The same project can split a larger task across agents, each using the model that fits its role — without changing your workflow or your provider. It's provider-agnostic: bring your own providers or custom model endpoints, and switch models without touching your setup. The openness and model independence of open-source coding agents, with a polished desktop UI and a much easier starting point. It's Windows-first right now and still early. I'd really value feedback from people already using Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Cursor, or similar: Check it out: [velloc.app](https://velloc.app) — and the source is on GitHub. I'm the developer, so feel free to be critical — that's mainly why I'm posting it here.
