Preloop vs Orca IDE

Preloop is the human approval layer for autonomous AI agents. When your agents attempt risky actions like deployments, refunds, or data changes, Preloop intercepts the request and routes it to you for approval right on your iPhone or Apple Watch. The right people in your organization get instant notifications with full context, approve or decline with one tap, while your organization maintains a complete audit trail for compliance. Preloop enables event-driven automation through Agentic Flows - let AI agents handle routine work automatically while you control critical decisions. Setup takes 3 minutes as an MCP proxy, works with Claude and Cursor, and requires no infrastructure changes. Risk-based policies ensure only high-stakes actions need approval while low-risk operations run automatically. AI agents can't take legal or moral responsibility for their actions - Preloop ensures humans stay in control. Perfect for engineering teams, DevOps, and anyone deploying autonomous AI in production. Enterprise-ready, designed for SOC2 compliance, role-based access, and secure end-to-end encryption.

Orca Mobile is the companion app for Orca, the open-source agentic coding workspace for macOS, Linux, and Windows. Pair your iPhone to your desktop in seconds and pick up a terminal session from the couch, the kitchen, or across the office. WHAT IT DOES • Live mirror of your desktop terminal, including running AI agent sessions (Claude Code, Codex, custom CLIs). • Full keyboard input — type, tab-complete, Ctrl-C, scroll back, all from the phone. • Multi-worktree, multi-terminal: jump between projects with a tap. • Phone-fit zoom and a smart on-screen keyboard with quick Ctrl/Alt accessory keys and shortcuts. • Background long-running commands and get a notification when a TUI goes idle (e.g. when Claude finishes thinking). HOW IT WORKS Orca Mobile is a thin client. Nothing runs on your phone except the viewer. Your code, your shells, your AI agents — all of that stays on your desktop. The phone shows you what's happening and forwards your keystrokes back over an encrypted local-network connection. Pairing is end-to-end encrypted. Your desktop generates a one-time keypair and shows a QR code; you scan it from the app. After that, all traffic between phone and desktop is sealed with that pair's keys. PRIVACY • No analytics SDK, no crash reporter, no third-party SDKs of any kind in the iOS app. • Pairing tokens and your preference list live in the app's own sandbox. The app's traffic to your desktop is end-to-end encrypted on your local network only. • The Orca desktop app collects anonymized usage metrics per the policy at https://www.onorca.dev/privacy. The mobile app itself does not. • Open source: every line is auditable at https://github.com/stablyai/orca. REQUIREMENTS • An iPhone (iOS 16+) on the same Wi-Fi as your desktop. • The Orca desktop app, free, from https://www.onorca.dev/ or https://github.com/stablyai/orca/releases.
