What it is

Orca is a desktop app for running terminal coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and Pi at the same time, with every agent working in a separate, isolated git worktree. It bundles split terminals, a VS Code-based editor, an embedded browser for picking UI elements, diff annotation, GitHub and Linear task views, SSH remote worktrees, and usage tracking for Claude and Codex accounts. Developers who juggle several agents at once can compare their outputs, review and merge changes, and follow progress from a companion mobile app. A CLI lets scripts and agents drive the app themselves.
