What you get

A client you actually own

Orkas runs on your machine; only model or cloud services you choose process the data needed for those features.

100% open source

The entire client is open and auditable. Read the code, fork it, or build it yourself.

Local-first & private

Keys, chats, and files stay local by default; managed models, sync, and cloud features you enable process the data they need.

Managed models or your provider

Start with optional managed official models, or connect your own provider and pay it directly.
