Orca

What is Orca?

Orca is an open-source agent development environment that runs multiple coding agents in parallel, each within its own isolated worktree. It combines chat, a terminal, a browser, and diff review into one desktop application for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Users bring their own agent CLI tools and subscriptions to operate the platform.

What are the features of Orca?

• Isolated workspaces

  Splits tasks into separate environments so multiple agents can work on the same repository simultaneously without interference.
• Multi-agent orchestration

  Runs supported CLI agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Grok, and Gemini side by side using existing subscriptions.
• Built-in browser with design mode

  Includes an embedded Chromium browser where clicking any element copies its HTML, styles, and selector into the agent's chat.
• Scheduled automations

  Configures prompts to run automatically on a schedule, such as nightly dependency updates or weekly issue triage.
• Mobile companion app

  Pairs with iOS or Android devices to send notifications when an agent needs input and allows replying remotely.
• Usage tracking dashboard

  Displays consumption limits and reset timers for connected accounts like Claude, Codex, and Grok.

What are the use cases of Orca?

• Parallel feature development

  Assigns different agents to separate branches of the same project, such as tightening address validation while another writes tests.
• Automated mobile testing

  Runs an iOS Simulator or Android emulator beside an agent so it can tap, type, and verify UI flows directly.
• Remote machine management

  Connects cloud VMs or home servers to the main interface, allowing users to start workers away from their primary workstation.
