Orkas

Features

• Commander plus specialist agents. Commander turns a goal into a plan, routes it to specialists such as DeepResearcher, ContentWriter, PptMaker, ImageStudio, VideoStudio, OfficeWorker and ProductDeveloper, and tracks and verifies the work. Official source 1 ↗
• Real file deliverables. The agent team delivers files such as briefs, spreadsheets, decks and videos that you can use immediately or keep editing. Official source 1 ↗
• Managed or bring-your-own models. Use Orkas-managed official models out of the box, or connect your own provider by OAuth or API key, including OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Kimi and GLM, or a custom compatible endpoint. Official source 1 ↗
• Drives local coding CLIs. Connect supported local CLI agents such as Codex, Claude Code or OpenCode and give them a task inside the same workspace. Official source 1 ↗
• Scheduled automations. Run an instruction once later or on a repeating schedule every few hours, daily, weekly or monthly, optionally tied to a Project. Official source 1 ↗
• Projects with shared context. A Project keeps a long-running goal's instructions, memory, agents and sources together, and owners can share it with members by invitation link. Official source 1 ↗
• Local-first, encrypted keys. Chats, files and history stay on your device by default; your own API keys are encrypted with AES-256-GCM, excluded from sync and used to call your provider directly. Official source 1 ↗
• Approval modes for local actions. Three local-access modes control whether sensitive file or shell operations ask for confirmation. Official source 1 ↗

• Key encryption has a limited scope. Orkas says local key encryption guards against casual disclosure, is not hardware- or keychain-bound, and does not defend against an attacker holding both the disk and the app. Official source 1 ↗
• Some plan features still planned. Every paid tier lists "More advanced features" as planned rather than available. Official source 1 ↗
