About

OpenWorkspace explores how the modern desktop experience can better support the way people work today: preserving continuity across tasks and sessions, organizing space around focus and context, and reconsidering the relationship between software and the physical computing environment.

Development brings together senior engineers and product developers with experience spanning gaming, networking, media, and financial market infrastructure. Our backgrounds include building and evolving products and systems at organizations such as Blizzard Entertainment and RealNetworks, as well as within the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and NYSE ecosystems—environments where architecture, performance, reliability, and long-term maintainability matter.

That experience informs how we build OpenWorkspace today: from real user needs down through the architecture, with an emphasis on reducing friction and removing constraints inherited from decades of desktop evolution.

OpenWorkspace operates as a limited liability company based in Chicago, IL. The company was founded by David Adler, who leads research and development and sets the product’s direction. Following several years of development and a public preview at CES 2026, OpenWorkspace became generally available in August 2026.
