Orca
The agent development environment (ADE) for running coding agents in parallel
Orca is a desktop application for running multiple coding agents in parallel, with each agent assigned its own isolated git worktree. It brings terminals, diffs, a browser, and a CLI into a single environment, allowing tasks to be split across agents without them interfering with one another. The app is free and open source under MIT, and runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux, with companion mobile apps for iOS and Android.
Orca supports a range of agent CLIs, including Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Cursor CLI, Copilot, OpenCode, and others, using existing subscriptions. Key capabilities include parallel worktrees, terminal splits with scrollback search, a Chromium-based Design Mode for inspecting UI elements, native GitHub and Linear integration, SSH worktrees for remote execution, inline diff annotations, an Orca CLI for agent-driven commands, native search across worktrees and files, account switching with usage tracking, and split-pane layouts for agents, terminals, browsers, and files. The mobile companion provides live agent status, usage monitoring, account switching, and remote terminal access.
