Orca is the ADE for working with a fleet of parallel agents. Run any coding agent with your own subscription. Available on desktop, mobile and remote runtime.

What it solves

Orca is an AI orchestrator designed for developers to manage multiple AI coding agents (like Claude Code, Codex, or OpenCode) simultaneously. It eliminates the need to switch between different terminal windows or tools when comparing the output of different agents or managing complex coding tasks across different git worktrees.

How it works

Orca provides a unified desktop environment that can run any CLI-based AI agent. It manages these agents in isolated git worktrees, allowing users to fan out a single prompt to multiple agents and compare their results. It integrates a high-performance terminal, a VS Code-like editor, and native integrations for GitHub and Linear. It also includes a mobile companion app for remote monitoring and steering of agents.

Who it’s for

Software engineers and "100x builders" who use multiple AI coding agents and want a centralized place to orchestrate, compare, and merge their work.

Highlights

  • Parallel Worktrees: Run multiple agents in isolated git worktrees to compare results from different models/agents.
  • Mobile Companion: Monitor and steer agents via iOS and Android apps.
  • Design Mode: Capture HTML, CSS, and screenshots from a Chromium window and send them directly to an agent's prompt.
  • SSH Worktrees: Run agents on remote servers with full file editing and port forwarding.
  • Native Integrations: Built-in support for GitHub and Linear to manage PRs and issues without context switching.
  • Computer Use: Allows agents to operate desktop applications and visible UI.
  • Orca CLI: A command-line interface to script workflows, create worktrees, and take snapshots.
