Features

What orch gives a small team

The work gets shared, and you can see what your Claude capacity is doing.

While a task runs

  • Live logs

    Follow Claude Code's messages and tool calls. Secrets are masked on the machine before a line leaves it.

  • Budgets

    A member shares part of their capacity. orch only offers work that fits the 5-hour window.

  • Auto or approval

    Per project, choose the allowed models and whether tasks start on their own or wait for you.

Keeping everyone informed

  • Notifications

    In the app, Slack, Discord, any JSON webhook, e-mail or browser push.

  • Usage dashboard

    Tokens per day, task runs and success rate, over 7, 30 or 90 days.

  • History and templates

    Search every task that has run, and start new ones from templates.

  • Claude Code over MCP

    View the pool, split work with dependencies and submit. No extra LLM key.

Yours to run

  • One Docker Compose stack

    Caddy with automatic HTTPS, the server and Postgres. Cloudflare Tunnel works too.

  • Backups built in

    Scheduled pg_dump with rotation, optional age encryption and S3 upload.

  • Observability on request

    Prometheus metrics and OpenTelemetry traces, off by default.

  • Sign-in you control

    GitHub sign-in limited to admins, an allowlist of logins or organizations, and invite links.

Security

For teams who trust each other.

A shared to-do list with automation, not a multi-tenant platform.

CredentialsThe Claude token stays on the member's machine
NetworkMachines dial out and open no inbound port
SandboxNon-root, no Docker socket, no host home
Not coveredNo egress filtering: a malicious issue could reach a member's token

What it does not do

  • Not for strangers

    Anyone who can label an issue for the pool is, in effect, writing a prompt that runs on a teammate's machine.

  • A root-equivalent agent

    It drives Docker on the member's host to start task containers. Rootless Docker reduces this.

  • Exact budgets

    Usage and budgets are estimates, so treat them as hints.

  • Other platforms

    GitHub only, English interface only, and a single server instance.
