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 run multiple AI coding agents (such as Claude Code, Codex, or OpenCode) simultaneously. It eliminates the friction of switching between different agents and manually managing separate environments by providing a unified workspace where agents can operate in isolated git worktrees.

How it works

Orca acts as a management layer for any CLI-based AI agent. It provides a desktop environment featuring high-performance terminals, a VS Code-like editor, and integrated tools for GitHub and Linear. Its core mechanism is the use of parallel worktrees, allowing a user to send a single prompt to multiple agents and compare their results in isolated environments before merging the best one.

Who it’s for

It is built for "100x builders" and developers who use multiple AI coding assistants to accelerate their software development workflow.

Highlights

  • Parallel Worktrees: Run multiple agents side-by-side in isolated git worktrees to compare and merge results.
  • Mobile Companion: Monitor and steer agents via iOS and Android apps, receiving notifications when tasks finish.
  • Design Mode: Send HTML, CSS, and screenshots of UI elements from a Chromium window directly into agent prompts.
  • SSH Worktrees: Run agents on remote servers with full file editing and port forwarding.
  • Agent Agnostic: Supports any CLI agent, including Claude Code, Grok, Devin, and GitHub Copilot.
  • Integrated Workflow: Native integration with GitHub and Linear for browsing PRs and issues without context switching.
