OpenStation turns WordPress into a desktop. ODD fills it with things worth opening.
OpenStation makes WordPress feel less like a stack of admin screens and more like a computer you own. You get a desktop, a dock, movable windows, and apps that can live alongside the work you are already doing.
ODD is an app shop made for that world. We are building useful little tools, playful experiments, and all sorts of cool apps that make OpenStation more personal, more capable, and more fun. Some will be practical. Some will be weird. A few may be delightfully unnecessary.
The catalog is live, independently published, and built to keep growing.
OpenStation gives WordPress a place to breathe. Instead of bouncing between disconnected pages, you can open tools in real windows, arrange the things you use, and build a workspace that feels like yours.
- Open WordPress tools and apps in movable windows.
- Keep the things you use close on the desktop and dock.
- Move between tasks without losing your place.
- Keep WordPress as the home for your content and data.
It is still WordPress underneath. It just feels a lot more alive.
ODD gives OpenStation apps a friendly home. Open the Shop, see what looks interesting, install it, and launch it like it belongs there.
The app catalog ships independently from the ODD plugin. New apps and app updates can land without asking people to reinstall the Shop, as long as they use the public app contract already provided by ODD and OpenStation.
The live ODD site is the current app shelf. It updates with the catalog, while this README stays focused on the durable product and contributor contract.
ODD Notes is one example of what belongs there: a calm place to catch a thought without leaving your desktop. Notes are saved in WordPress, private by default, and easy to find again.
- Write and autosave notes without breaking your flow.
- Organize with search, tags, favorites, and archives.
- Pin an important note right on the OpenStation desktop.
- Share a note only when you choose to.
- Recover local drafts and revisit earlier revisions.
The fastest way to see ODD is the live WordPress Playground demo. It opens a temporary WordPress site with OpenStation and the current stable ODD release ready to explore.
To install it on your own site, get ODD from WordPress.org.
Requires: WordPress 6.8+ · PHP 8.1+ · OpenStation 1.1.0+
