Orka for macOS CI/CD

A Tart/Orchard Alternative Built for Enterprise Teams

Orka by MacStadium gives you dedicated Apple silicon build infrastructure with commercial support, SLAs, and no open source maintenance burden. Spend your time shipping features, not managing open source tooling.

The macOS CI landscape just changed

Cirrus Labs joined OpenAI in April 2026. Cirrus CI is shutting down June 1. Tart and Orchard are moving to a more permissive open source license model. With no dedicated team continuing to develop or support them, their future is unknown.

For teams that self-host Tart/Orchard today, that means one of two paths: own the maintenance yourself, or find a platform that takes the guesswork out of day-to-day operations.

What Orka gives you that open source doesn't

Kubernetes-native orchestration

Purpose-built for macOS workloads. Spin up ephemeral or persistent VMs with the same workflows your team already uses.

Works with your existing CI stack

Native integrations with GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI, and Buildkite. Drop it in without re-architecting your pipelines.

Enterprise security & compliance

SOC 2 Type II certified. Full audit logs, RBAC, SSO/SAML, and isolated environments out of the box.

Commercial support by Apple experts

Not a community forum. A real support team with SLAs, backed by 10+ years running Mac infrastructure at scale.

Getting started is easy

Let us help you transition from Tart/Orchard to Orka. To make the move seamless, we're offering 2 months free + 50% off Orka software on a 12-month contract for new customers.

Validate and cut over

Run both systems in parallel during transition to validate parity, then decommission Tart infrastructure.

Including Orka as part of our CI pipeline provides us with full control over our macOS build environments. This autonomy has helped to accelerate our ability to adopt new tools and update our technology stack, without relying on cross-functional dependencies.

Orka gives us quick access to specific Mac resources, making it easier for us to iterate, stay ahead of releases, update our systems, and test beta software right when we need it.

With Orka, we can just pull new images whenever we want. Orka made it easier for us to dynamically scale up and down workers to spin up more QA automations.
