Orkas

Key facts: Orkas is a local-first desktop app where a Commander model plans your goal and routes work to specialist agents: DeepResearcher, ContentWriter, PptMaker, ProductDeveloper, OfficeWorker, VideoStudio, ImageStudio, UIDesigner and SeoGeoAgent, plus a marketplace of 30+ more. It can drive Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, OpenClaw and Hermes externally, and your data stays on your own disk.

Plans: Free to download under the MIT licence, with 500 free credits for hosted models, or bring your own keys. Paid plans start from $11.99 a month for cloud sync and extra credits.

Best for: People who want one chat window to run a whole team of specialists. Who should skip it: anyone who wants a single simple chatbot.
