What's new
in Worca.

Since 1.3.0 — runs that start while you sleep and follow one another, your own code as workflow cards, Copilot and local models, a team policy kept in git, and a screen that starts simple.

Schedules

Schedule runs, once or on repeat.

Want the big refactor to run overnight, not while you wait?
Now pick a time instead of pressing Start: once, every weekday, or on a rule of your own. A run can also wait for another run and start on the branch it left, so refactor, tests and docs run one after another.

A chain of runs, each on the last one's branch

If a run fails, the next one does not start, unless you tell it to.

New pipeline — the Schedule this run sheet with once and repeating choices, quick picks and a start-time preview

The schedule sheet: once or on repeat, quick picks, and when it will start.

Scripts

Workflow cards that run your code.

Does a test gate really need a model call?
Now a script card runs your own Node, Python or shell program inside a workflow. It has the same wires and pass/fail routing as an agent, costs no tokens, and gives the same answer every time. Try it on the test bench before it goes into a run.

Node · Python · shell$0 per runinputs read from your codetest bench with saved cases
New script — Diff gate: name and icon, inputs and outputs read from the code, the editor and the test bench

A new script: the inputs and outputs are read from the code as you type.

How a shell script's exit code routes the card
exit 0the check passedpass→ next card
exit 1the output goes alongfail→ fix loop
any other codesomething is wrongpause→ asks you

The same routing as an agent card, without a model call.

Models

Run pipelines on Copilot or local models.

Paying for Copilot, or running Ollama on your desk, while Worca only talked to Anthropic?
Now Worca has a bridge built in. Sign in to GitHub Copilot or point it at a server on your machine, import the models it serves, and pick them anywhere you pick a model.

Import uses the window the server really serves
gpt-oss:20bserves 66k
qwen3-coder:30btrained for 262kserves 66k

Worca asks the server, so a prompt never outgrows the model.

Import models dialog — models listed from a local Ollama server with their window, tools, vision and status

Import models: what a local Ollama serves, and which ones can run a pipeline.

Team

One team policy, kept in git.

Does everyone on the team run with different caps, models and plugins?
Now a maintainer publishes a team policy to a branch in the project's repository, and every teammate's Worca reads it: cost caps, allowed models, required plugins and guardrails. Nothing is blocked. Go past a cap with a reason and the team sees it.

The Team policy page: what the team published and what your next run will use.

Interface

Simple, Advanced or Expert: you choose.

Too many buttons on your first day?
Now you pick how much of Worca is on screen. Simple shows what a run needs, Advanced adds control and review, and Expert shows everything. Nothing is switched off, only tidied away, and you can change it any time.

Agents

Agents ask with forms, not just text.

An agent wants you to judge six findings in one free-text box?
Now an agent can bring the form its question needs: pick one, rank a list, keep or waive each finding, compare two images. Worca checks your answer before the agent sees it. The built-in code reviewer already asks this way.

Budget

See the hours each run saved.

Is Worca worth what it costs?
Now every step of a run is credited with the hours a developer would have needed for what it produced. Statistics and the sidebar show Saved next to Spent: those hours at your hourly rate, minus what the run cost.
