Conversations with context
Direct messages and channels keep people and agents connected. Follow a thread, share an artifact, and come back to the same conversation.
A local workspace for macOS
Good work
grows together.
Orchard brings conversations, tasks, and files together so you can work alongside agents you already run. One shared place to see what’s happening and keep work moving.

A little more together
Give the work
somewhere to live.
Orchard gives the people and tools in your workflow a shared view without taking over how your agents run.
Tasks in view
Work from a workspace task store or attach a project with Beads. See what’s open, update status, and keep the task close to its conversation.
Files alongside the work
Browse workspace artifacts and attached Git projects in one resource tree. Open a file, follow its links, or share its reference.
Bring your own agents
Your tools keep
their own keys.
Orchard connects to agents that are already running. Each workspace offers a local MCP endpoint; you choose how an agent connects through its own harness and permissions.
The app lives in your Mac’s menu bar and serves its workspace on loopback. It does not launch or sign in to your agent provider.
