Which to pick.
What Orca does well
Orca lists 41 agents and runs on macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android and the web. It reaches other computers over ssh or an Orca server, and is free under MIT.
When wsp fits better
wsp fits when you already have another computer, a server you rent or an old laptop, and want your agents on it signed in, with your MCP servers, CLIs and skills. Orca can install shared skills on a server and leaves the rest to you; wsp copies your setup onto it.
