Orquesta

Orquesta is the companion app for the Orquesta platform. It puts the projects you already run from getorquesta.com in your pocket, so you can see what your coding agents are doing without opening a laptop. WHAT YOU CAN DO ⢠Projects ā every project in your organization, with its agent's live online status and last heartbeat. ⢠Prompts ā the full history of what has been asked of each agent, with status, model, cost and the git branch and commit the work landed on. Queue a new one from the project screen. ⢠Live logs ā open any prompt and follow the agent's timeline as it runs: reasoning, tool calls, tool results and output. ⢠Sessions ā attach to an agent's interactive session and drive it from the phone: a live terminal with a key bar for esc, tab, arrows and ^C, so you can answer a prompt that is blocking the work instead of finding it stalled hours later. ⢠Team chat ā the same channels and threads as the dashboard. Mention a teammate, or address the agent by its @handle and it picks the message up. ⢠Activity ā one feed across every project, so you can see the whole organization at a glance. ⢠Inbox ā billing, team, deployment and system notifications, markable as read. ⢠Star and tag prompts to keep the ones worth coming back to. SIGNING IN This app is for people who already use Orquesta. It needs an existing Orquesta organization ā you cannot create an account from the app. Signing in opens getorquesta.com in your browser to authorize the device, and the resulting token is stored in the device's own secure credential store. You can revoke it at any time from Settings, which deletes the local copy and invalidates it on the server. Other devices keep working. Settings also links to account deletion, which permanently closes your Orquesta account and the data it owns. GOOD TO KNOW Agents run on your own machines, not on your phone. A prompt you queue is picked up by the agent on its next heartbeat, then runs for as long as the work takes ā this is asynchronous by design, not a live chat with a model. If a machine is offline, the work waits for it to come back. Interactive sessions are the exception: those are live, and they show what happens from the moment you attach rather than what already scrolled past. The app reads your organization's data and can queue prompts, star and tag them, post to team chat, and mark notifications read. It does not have broad write access to your projects.

Verdict
Pocket VHDL and Orquesta are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters ā price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them ā neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
