# Overview

OcHub is a native desktop control center for AI coding tools. It lets you switch
providers, manage shared capabilities, and run a local relay from one place —
without a browser shell or webview.

## What OcHub manages

OcHub manages **Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, OpenCode, OpenClaw, and
Hermes**.

| Area | Capabilities |
| --- | --- |
| Providers | Discover, import, edit, switch, and test direct API providers |
| Relay station | Route supported clients through a local gateway with model aliases, reasoning mapping, failover, health checks, and usage accounting |
| Shared tools | Manage MCP servers and reusable skills across supported clients |
| Operations | Browse sessions, inspect usage, configure sync, and manage app behavior |
| Migration | One-time, read-only import from compatible cc-switch databases |

## How it touches your configuration

OcHub owns `~/.ochub/` and never writes back to `~/.cc-switch/`. It does update
the live configuration directories of tools you explicitly manage.

:::caution
Quit cc-switch before switching providers in OcHub — both write the same tool
configuration directories, and running them together can interleave writes.
:::

:::note
OcHub is under active pre-release development. Back up important tool
configuration before trying an early build.

- [Install](/install) — Homebrew, direct downloads, and first-launch approval
- [Architecture](/architecture) — the Rust workspace behind the app
- [Build from source](/build-from-source) — toolchain and development commands
