Orca

Overview

Orca is the Agent Development Environment (ADE) built for working with a fleet of parallel coding agents. It lets you run Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Cursor CLI, and any other CLI agent side by side, each in its own isolated git worktree. The app combines terminals, diffs, a browser, and a CLI into one environment designed for agents, not just humans. It is free, open source, and cross-platform, with a mobile companion for iOS and Android.

Key Features

• Parallel Worktrees: every task runs in its own isolated git worktree, fan one prompt across multiple agents and merge the winner. Terminal Splits: WebGL-rendered terminals with infinite splits and scrollback that survives restarts. Design Mode: a real Chromium window per

Use Cases

• Run multiple coding agents in parallel on the same repository without conflicts, each in its own worktree. Monitor and steer agents from a mobile phone while away from the desk, with live status and follow-up messages. Use a remote machine or VPS for heavy agent workloads,
