What is Patchwork OS
An AI operating system built for humans who need sleep.

Patchwork OS gives you a delegation policy, recipe lifecycle, multi-model adapters, and an oversight dashboard — all running locally on your machine. Nothing phones home. Your keys stay yours.

Write a recipe in plain YAML. Point it at your tools. Go to bed. Anything risky lands in your approval queue first.

A developer's overnight

Tests fail at 2am. Patchwork triages the stack trace, links the breaking commit, opens a Linear issue, and sends you a Slack summary. You wake up knowing exactly what broke and why.

A small business inbox

Customer emails come in while you're with a client. Patchwork reads them, drafts replies in your voice, and queues them for your one-tap approval. Nothing sends without you.

A morning brief

6am: Patchwork pulls your commits, Linear assignments, calendar, and Slack DMs — and composes one clean brief. You read it over coffee. Already done.

How it works
Three steps to autopilot.
1

### Install & connect

One command. Detects your tools, sets up starter recipes, and opens the oversight dashboard. Link Gmail, Slack, Linear, GitHub and more — OAuth in one click.

2

### Write a recipe

Plain YAML files describe what to watch and what to do. Share them like dotfiles. No code required. Browse 5 community recipes to start.

3

### Approve, once

Patchwork acts autonomously. Anything risky lands in your approval queue. One tap — approve or reject. That's the whole loop.

Features
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
📄

### Recipes

Plain YAML. Describe what to watch, what to do, and when to ask. Version-controlled. Shareable. No code required.

🛡

### Oversight first

Every write, send, or commit lands in your approval queue before it goes anywhere. Approve from the web dashboard, terminal, or your phone.

⚡

### Multi-model

Claude, GPT-4o, Gemini, Grok, or local Ollama. Your keys, your models, your costs. Swap models per recipe. Nothing phones home.

🏪

### Community recipes

Browse and install recipes in one command.

Oversight

## Human in the loop.
Always.

Nothing sends, deletes, or commits without your approval. Patchwork shows the proposed action — exactly what will happen — on one screen.
