A different starting point — your documents, not a blank database
Plenty of tools draw a chart or store a list. ORCA is built around one idea the others aren't: the truth lives in your documents, and everything should flow from there.
Three reasons it holds up
The document-to-truth moat
Most tools start with data entry. ORCA starts with your documents — extracting the facts and tracing every one back to its source. That's hard to copy, and it's why the truth stays true.
You own your information
Your data is yours. Export it, move it, revoke access — any time. ORCA is the custodian of the structure, not the gatekeeper of your data.
One product, better for everyone
Not a chart tool bolted to a database. One model feeds every view — list, chart, folder, task — so a fix in one place is a fix everywhere.
You may have secrets. We don't.
Everything above rests on one thing — your data is yours alone, built so we can't see it. You shouldn't have to think about security, so we made it something you can take for granted.
Zero-trust encryption
Your keys are generated on your device and never leave it. The data on our servers is meaningless without them, so neither ORCA nor any third party can read what you store. You're trusting math, not a privacy policy.
Immutable audit ledger
Every action is written to a tamper-evident ledger. Nothing can be altered or quietly deleted without leaving a trace, so you can trust the data you read without having to trust ORCA.
Independently audited
Reviewed by Cure53 (the same firm trusted by Proton Mail), plus ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certification. Reports are public.
Undo & restore
A wrong edit, or a bad actor who got in — either way you can rewind to any previous version, at any point in time.
Swiss data centres
Encrypted data held in Swiss data centres, under some of the strictest privacy and infrastructure standards in the world.
GDPR compliant
Fully GDPR-aligned; we partner only with providers held to the same bar.

Where ORCA fits — and where it doesn't pretend
The alternatives each do part of the job. ORCA's difference is that one model does all of it, fed by your documents.
