Orkas

Orkas is a desktop app that gives you a small AI team. You hand Commander a project goal and your source files; it plans the work, coordinates specialist agents through a single chat, and turns their handoffs into a reviewable report, document or launch package. Projects keep their instructions, memory and library sources for later tasks, and reusable skills cover repeated workflows. Research can flow straight into writing, office files and editable presentations. It is open source and local-first: working files and outputs stay on your device by default. You can bring your own model API keys or use Orkas-managed models, and supported local coding agents and MCP tools can extend it. The core app is free; model usage and optional services cost extra. Worth weighing: multi-agent runs can use a lot of model tokens, so watch costs. For people who want agent-driven projects while keeping files on their own machine, it is a strong pick.
