Orneos documentation
How the product works, what it does today, and where the edges are. Orneos is pre-release, so every page says which of those it is describing before it says anything else.
Start with one change: write an agreement and hand it to a reviewer. Working in another tracker? Try an assisted review without moving your board. For the full reference, browse the topics below or check Product status.

What Orneos is, what it is not yet, and how to get your bearings in the app.
A shared workspace for people and AI agents — what it does today, who it is for, and what it is deliberately not yet.
Quickstart AvailableApprove an agreement for one change, then give a reviewer or agent its context.
Core concepts AvailableThe nine ideas the rest of the documentation assumes — company, team, issue, project, Vault, Intent, context bundle, the local replica, and sync scope.
Product status ReferenceWhat you can use today
Workspace
Companies, teams, membership, roles, and the settings that control them.
How the two boundaries work, what switching between them does, and why a team is a harder wall than it looks.
Members and roles AvailableInviting people, the two team roles, company administration, and exactly what happens when someone is removed.
Settings AvailableThe five settings tabs and what lives in each — profile, appearance, teams, members and company.
Themes and appearance AvailableThe eight themes, light and dark mode, where your choice is stored, and why the app looks like the website.
Issues
The unit of work: fields, the three views, filtering, and how issues relate to each other.
The unit of work — every field, how editing behaves, what happens to concurrent edits, and how undo works.
Board, Backlog, Timeline AvailableThree views over the same issues — what each is good at, how board columns define status, and the shortcuts that make them fast.
Filters and saved views AvailableNarrowing a list, saving personal filters and display settings, and sharing a filtered URL.
Labels AvailableTeam-scoped tags for classifying work, what they are good for, and the one failure mode worth avoiding.
Projects AvailableGrouping issues into a body of work with its own status and dates — including sub-projects and links between projects.
Sub-issues and relations AvailableBreaking work down, and the four typed links between issues — blocks, blocked by, relates to, duplicate of.
Comments and mentions AvailableDiscussion on an issue, @mentions, and why comments are part of what a reviewer receives.
Search and Spotlight AvailableSpotlight, Company and Team issue search, saved Search views, and online Vault full-text results.
Vault
Team documentation that lives next to the work it describes.
Team documentation that lives next to the work it describes — and becomes part of what a reviewer receives.
Spaces and pages AvailableOrganising Vault, and the three space roles that control who can read and write.
Editing and collaboration AvailableThe Vault editor, how simultaneous editing merges, and version history.
Intent and review
The part of Orneos aimed at reviewing agent-assisted work: the agreement, the material, and the decision.
The approved, versioned agreement about what a piece of work should accomplish — and the rules that stop it quietly changing.
Context bundles AvailableOne click puts the task, its agreement, the discussion and linked Vault references on your clipboard — with sources named and truncation marked.
Getting the right context ReferenceBring useful context to a change
Evidence capture and runs Work in progressEvidence connected to the work
The review workflow Work in progressReview against the agreement
Evidence and unknowns ReferenceThe vocabulary Orneos uses about proof — what a source reference means, what it does not, and why unknowns are stated rather than omitted.
Trying an assisted review PilotUse the existing context tools and bridge the remaining intake and evidence steps with a founder during early access.
AI
Where models are used, what they are allowed to decide, and whose key pays for it.
The current AI paths, active context and review work, and the provider and funding boundary for each surface.
Drafting keys AvailableBringing your own Anthropic key for AI-assisted drafting — where it is stored, what "remember on this browser" means, and how to remove it.
Insights AvailableAsking questions about your board in plain language, and the overview cards — plus what an answer is and is not.
AI funding and usage Work in progressAI access and usage
Agent execution PlannedControlled action with human oversight
Platform
How the local-first substrate behaves, and the reliability limits that come with it.
Responsive work and synchronization
Offline and reconnect AvailableWhat works without a connection, what does not, how to tell whether your changes have reached the server, and what a pending change depends on.
Local data and storage AvailableWhat Orneos keeps in your browser, how much space it uses, when it is destroyed, and why it is not a backup.
Security and isolation ReferenceSecurity and access boundaries
Privacy and your data ReferenceWhat Orneos stores, where it goes, what happens with AI features, and what we will not claim about backups.
Known limits ReferenceThe gaps most likely to affect you, written down deliberately rather than discovered.
