Software is better built together.
In the era of AI, we believe software should be built together, by teams who care deeply about a problem. So we’re preparing to release TurnPanel as an open-source project under the Apache License 2.0.

The people closest to a problem should build the fix.
That’s how TurnPanel started, and it’s how we want it to grow: in the open, with everyone who cares about giving agents a safe place to work.
Built by the people who need it
Agents make writing code cheap. What stays rare is knowing a problem deeply. The best software will come from people who live with the problem, building it together in the open.
Code you can read runs your agents
A workspace that holds your files, your keys and your agents’ every step should be one you can inspect, build yourself and trust for reasons you can check.
Free to run, free to change
Apache 2.0 lets anyone use, change and ship TurnPanel, for themselves or their company, with a patent grant that keeps it that way.
The whole core, not a sample.
Everything TurnPanel Personal and Server run on, from the server to the sandbox, with the specs that explain why it works the way it does.
Official builds add one small, separate program for TurnPanel’s own services (hosted models, web search and remote access). Without it, the open core is the complete product.
