Open Free Max docs
Everything OFM can do — from a single agent tab to the autonomous Plan orchestrator. Drive Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Gemini, Vibe and Kimi Code interactively, on your subscription.
Getting started
Introduction
What Open Free Max is, who it's for, and how it stays light, durable and on your subscription.
Install
Download and install Open Free Max on Windows or macOS, including the unsigned-build bypass and system requirements.
Quickstart
Open a project, start your first agent session, send a prompt, and discover Mission Control and Plan in five minutes.
Pricing & plans
What Open Free Max costs — the OFM Pro plan, the launch price and final price, and the 7-day free trial with no credit card. OFM Pro is the IDE licence and is separate from your agent provider subscription.
Concepts
How OFM works
The architecture behind Open Free Max — a native Tauri shell that drives official CLIs through an embedded PTY, with a local orchestration engine.
Subscription vs API
Why Open Free Max keeps your agent usage on your Max/Pro subscription and never on the metered API bill — and exactly what it refuses to do.
Supported agents
The agent CLIs Open Free Max drives — Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Gemini, Vibe and Kimi Code — and how provider support is structured.
Using the IDE
Projects & workspaces
Open, clone and organize projects in Open Free Max — the left rail, recents, and drag-and-drop reordering shared with Mission Control.
Native WSL2
Open projects that live inside a WSL2 distro and run agents in Linux from Open Free Max, with the right PATH and no IDE-side install.
Sessions & persistence
Run multiple agent sessions per project and never lose a conversation — Open Free Max resumes each tab from the CLI's own durable store.
Screenshots
Paste or drag any number of images into a prompt — Open Free Max saves them, shows thumbnails, and injects real file paths at send time. macOS system screenshots are imported automatically.
Mission Control
Plan (orchestrator)
Plan — overview
Plan turns Open Free Max into an autonomous bulk orchestrator — one repetitive job, a pool of agents, carried to the end across crashes, reboots and token-limit windows.
Create a campaign
Two ways to launch a bulk run in Open Free Max — the guided 3-step Assistant or the Advanced composer — plus editing a campaign later.
Brief format
The Markdown brief that the Plan Assistant splits into units automatically — front-matter config, the PROMPT section, UNITS sections, and placeholders.
Sources
How Plan builds the list of work units — files matching a glob, a numeric range, one-per-line in a file, or a brief split into sections.
Output & done-detection
How Plan knows a unit is finished — the output convention, file vs folder detection, writing results into the target project, and idempotence.
Concurrency & quota
The shared session pool, scheduling by priority, and how Plan parks on token-limit windows and auto-resumes — staying on your subscription.
Monitoring & failures
Track a campaign from the cockpit — progress, ETA, workers — and understand quarantine, failure diagnostics, and one-click retries.
Recipes
Concrete Plan campaigns you can copy — enrich thousands of records, scaffold many sites, and run a security audit across multiple repositories.
Reference
Settings
Every Open Free Max setting — per-provider launch flags, Mission Control behavior, the Plan engine, theme and language.
Keyboard shortcuts
Keyboard shortcuts in Open Free Max — toggle Mission Control, close tabs, paste screenshots — and how to customize them.
Data & file locations
Where Open Free Max stores its settings, Mission Control data and the Plan spool — and why your agent transcripts live elsewhere.
Troubleshooting
Fixes for common Open Free Max issues — CLI not found, unsigned-build warnings, agents that don't start, bulk runs that stall, and what to report after a crash.
