Orkas
An open-source (MIT), local-first desktop app where a Commander agent splits a goal into tasks for specialist agents and coding agents such as Claude Code and Codex.
About Orkas
Small teams spread research, documents, code and media across separate chats and repeat the project context for each one.
Who it’s for
- Small teams preparing reports, decks and marketing material
- Independent developers combining coding agents with release content
When to consider it
Consider Orkas when you want one desktop workspace that keeps project files and memory together and coordinates several agents, with the source available under MIT.
Tradeoffs & limitations
- Desktop app for macOS and Windows; new users get 500 lifetime credits, and heavier use needs paid credit plans or your own model keys.
- Local-first storage does not mean offline: model requests go to the provider you choose, and shared projects and cloud sync are account features with plan limits.
