Your AI tools
Your AI tools
Wrkr doesn't pick your AI for you. Four coding harnesses come preinstalled, you bring your own account, and you can install any others you want. It's your machine.
The four that come installed
claude # Claude Code
codex # Codex
gemini # Gemini CLI
opencode # OpenCode
Start whichever you like. Wrkr is harness-neutral — it doesn't favor one, and it doesn't resell AI.
Signing in — you bring your own account
The first time you start a harness, it signs you in to your own account for that tool. You'll usually have two ways to do it, and you pick whichever your provider gives you:
- A subscription / plan — sign in with the plan you already pay for (for example, a Claude plan for Claude Code, or a ChatGPT plan for Codex).
- An API key — paste your provider's API key instead.
Either way, Wrkr never sees or stores it. Your login, your keys, your prompts, and your sessions stay on your machine and with your provider. (The boundary: Trust.)
Bring your own — install anything
It's your machine, with full admin control, so you're not limited to the four:
- Other CLI harnesses — install any other coding tool you prefer.
- A GUI editor — install something like Cursor and use it right on the desktop.
- MCP servers — wire up your own MCP servers and integrations for your harness; nothing is locked down.
Make any tool you install wrkr-fluent — so it reaches for the built-in database, email, storage, and the rest — with one command:
wrkr steering install --harness <name>
What that steering does: Working with your AI.
Run more than one
Nothing stops you running several harnesses. They all share the same machine, the same files, and the same primitives, so you can switch between them on the same project.
What it costs
Your AI usage is billed by your provider — your subscription, or your API usage. Wrkr charges for the machine, not the tokens. (See Pricing & access.)
