OpenHands: Code Less, Make More

Welcome to OpenHands (formerly OpenDevin), a platform for software development agents powered by AI.

OpenHands agents can do anything a human developer can: modify code, run commands, browse the web, call APIs, and yes—even copy code snippets from StackOverflow.

Learn more at docs.all-hands.dev, or sign up for OpenHands Cloud to get started.

[!IMPORTANT] Upcoming change: We are renaming our GitHub Org from All-Hands-AI to OpenHands on October 20th, 2025. Check the tracking issue for more information.

[!IMPORTANT] Using OpenHands for work? We'd love to chat! Fill out this short form to join our Design Partner program, where you'll get early access to commercial features and the opportunity to provide input on our product roadmap.

☁️ OpenHands Cloud

The easiest way to get started with OpenHands is on OpenHands Cloud, which comes with $10 in free credits for new users.

💻 Running OpenHands Locally

Option 1: CLI Launcher (Recommended)

The easiest way to run OpenHands locally is using the CLI launcher with uv. This provides better isolation from your current project's virtual environment and is required for OpenHands' default MCP servers.

Install uv (if you haven't already):

See the uv installation guide for the latest installation instructions for your platform.

Launch OpenHands:

# Launch the GUI server
uvx --python 3.12 openhands serve

# Or launch the CLI
uvx --python 3.12 openhands

You'll find OpenHands running at http://localhost:3000 (for GUI mode)!

Option 2: Docker

Click to expand Docker command

You can also run OpenHands directly with Docker:

docker pull docker.openhands.dev/openhands/runtime:0.62-nikolaik

docker run -it --rm --pull=always \
    -e SANDBOX_RUNTIME_CONTAINER_IMAGE=docker.openhands.dev/openhands/runtime:0.62-nikolaik \
    -e LOG_ALL_EVENTS=true \
    -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
    -v ~/.openhands:/.openhands \
    -p 3000:3000 \
    --add-host host.docker.internal:host-gateway \
    --name openhands-app \
    docker.openhands.dev/openhands/openhands:0.62

Note: If you used OpenHands before version 0.44, you may want to run mv ~/.openhands-state ~/.openhands to migrate your conversation history to the new location.

[!WARNING] On a public network? See our Hardened Docker Installation Guide to secure your deployment by restricting network binding and implementing additional security measures.

Getting Started

When you open the application, you'll be asked to choose an LLM provider and add an API key. Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 4.5 (anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929) works best, but you have many options.

See the Running OpenHands guide for system requirements and more information.

💡 Other ways to run OpenHands

[!WARNING] OpenHands is meant to be run by a single user on their local workstation. It is not appropriate for multi-tenant deployments where multiple users share the same instance. There is no built-in authentication, isolation, or scalability.

If you're interested in running OpenHands in a multi-tenant environment, check out the source-available, commercially-licensed OpenHands Cloud Helm Chart

You can connect OpenHands to your local filesystem, interact with it via a friendly CLI, run OpenHands in a scriptable headless mode, or run it on tagged issues with a github action.

Visit Running OpenHands for more information and setup instructions.

If you want to modify the OpenHands source code, check out Development.md.

📖 Documentation

To learn more about the project, and for tips on using OpenHands, check out our documentation.

There you'll find resources on how to use different LLM providers, troubleshooting resources, and advanced configuration options.
