Orchevia open-sources a workflow-graph desktop app for coding agents

On October 23, 2026, DEV Community published a report on Orchevia, an open-source desktop application released by a developer under the Apache-2.0 license. The app turns the routine around coding agents into a workflow graph: reading a ticket, having an agent plan, implement and run tests, passing the work to a second agent for review, and finally opening a draft PR. Nodes in the graph can be AI agents, shell commands, Git/GitHub, Jira, MCP tools, or human approval steps.

According to the report, Orchevia calls CLIs already logged in on the local machine, so it requires no account or API key and ships without telemetry. It currently supports Linux and macOS. The author notes that Claude Code and Codex can already read a codebase, plan, implement and review, and that in daily work the agent itself was never the slow part; the slow part was the routine surrounding it. The author had been acting as the glue between every step, doing it slightly differently each time. The report does not give a specific release date, version number, or future roadmap for the app.
