App Overview

An app is the unit of deployment in OpenPond. Each app becomes a tool server with its own deployments, endpoints, and metadata.

For the full lifecycle view, see From Idea to Execution.

App types (where code lives)

• Internal: Code is stored in OpenPond-managed repos. Best for fast iteration and AI-assisted edits.
• GitHub: Code stays in your GitHub repo. OpenPond deploys what you push.

Visibility (who can call it)

• Public
  • HTTP access is open.
  • No Turnkey auth; add app-level auth if you need it.
• Private
  • HTTP access is protected with Turnkey JWT.

Where apps live in the UI

• Agents (/agents) lists the apps you own.
• Agents Chat (/agents/chat) starts a prompt-driven app or continues an existing build thread.
• Each app opens into a workspace with tabs like AI, Overview, Code, Runner, Logs, Deployments, Environment, and Settings.
