Orchard supervises AI agents across code, simulators, browsers, backends, and release pipelines — so every task has proof it actually works.
Built for Agents, Not Extensions
Every component is purpose-built for autonomous Apple development
Deterministic state machine governs every agent session
8 specialized roles, one coordinated pipeline

Four layers. One binary.
Zero configuration.
Canvas OS
GPUI Shell + Workspace Runtime
A GPU-accelerated native macOS shell built on GPUI and Metal, rendering the entire workspace at 120 fps. Every panel, canvas, and overlay is a retained-mode GPU surface — no Electron, no DOM, no compromise.
Built on proven foundations.

“The world does not need another AI code editor. It needs a development operating system that can supervise agents across code, simulators, browsers, backends, and release pipelines — with proofs, not vibes.”

Get Started
brew install orchard-ide/tap/orchardJoin the founding team.
Orchard is pre-seed. We're looking for a technical co-founder, seed investors, and early design partners.
Co-Founder
Looking for a Rust/GPUI or iOS/Swift expert to build the core IDE. Equity-heavy, salary-light. Must ship fast and think in systems.
Seed Investment
Pre-seed round to fund 2 engineers for 12 months. Building the agent-native IDE layer Apple developers deserve.
Design Partner
iOS teams shipping weekly who want to 10x velocity with supervised agents. Early access + direct founder support.

The Founder
Built from the trenches.
Rory is a full-stack developer and serial founder who has spent years building production software with AI coding agents — and experiencing firsthand every pain point Orchard solves.
As founder of Auron Intelligence (clinical AI for vascular imaging), ePrescience (AI-powered learning platform), and wemakepages.com (web design agency), he manages AWS infrastructure, multi-platform builds, and complex agent workflows daily.
Orchard was born from the realization that the iOS build-test-iterate-ship loop is uniquely painful — and uniquely solvable — for agentic development. After hundreds of hours directing Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex on real iOS projects, the pattern became clear: the tooling above the editor is missing.
