orca: an AI orchestrator for running multiple CLI coding agents in parallel across isolated worktrees

What it solves

Orca is an AI orchestrator designed for developers to run multiple AI coding agents (such as Claude Code, Codex, or OpenCode) side-by-side. It eliminates the friction of switching between different agents and manages the complexity of running them across different environments or worktrees.

How it works

Orca provides a unified desktop environment that integrates various CLI-based AI agents. It uses isolated git worktrees to allow users to run several agents on the same prompt in parallel, compare their outputs, and merge the best result. It also includes a built-in terminal with WebGL rendering, a VS Code-like editor, and a mobile companion app for remote monitoring and steering.

Who it’s for

It is built for "100x builders" and developers who use multiple AI coding agents and want a centralized place to manage their workflows, remote SSH worktrees, and agent-driven development.

Highlights

• Parallel Worktrees: Run multiple agents in isolated git worktrees to compare and merge results.
• Design Mode: Capture HTML, CSS, and screenshots from a Chromium window directly into agent prompts.
• Mobile Companion: Monitor and steer agents via iOS and Android apps.
• Broad Agent Support: Compatible with any CLI agent, including Claude Code, Grok, Devin, and GitHub Copilot.
• Native Integrations: Built-in support for browsing GitHub PRs and Linear issues.
• SSH Worktrees: Ability to run agents on remote servers with auto-reconnect and port forwarding.
• Computer Use: Allows agents to operate desktop applications and visible UI.
