Orca
Orca is a desktop IDE that enables developers to run multiple AI coding agents in parallel, each isolated in its own git worktree. The platform unifies terminals, diff views, a browser, and a CLI into a single interface, supporting agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Grok with users' existing subscriptions. A mobile companion app for iOS and Android provides live agent status monitoring and remote terminal control.

Problem
Developers using AI coding agents often run them sequentially or in separate terminal windows, which limits parallelism and makes it difficult to manage multiple agents working on different tasks simultaneously. Coordinating agents across branches, reviewing their diffs, and monitoring their progress typically requires manual branch juggling and context switching between multiple tools.
Solution
Orca provides a desktop IDE purpose-built for running multiple AI coding agents side by side, with each agent operating in its own dedicated git worktree. The application unifies terminals, diff views, a browser, and a CLI into a single interface, allowing developers to fan out work across agents like Claude Code, Codex, Grok, and other CLI-based agents without stashing or branch-juggling. Every worktree is a real git worktree, so developers can use plain git commands directly. A mobile companion app for iOS and Android lets users monitor live agent status, check usage, switch accounts, and keep terminal work moving while away from the desk. The platform also supports remote execution over SSH, self-hosted Orca servers, or cloud VMs, and integrates with project management tools like GitHub, Linear, and Jira.
Target Audience
Primary users are professional software developers and engineering teams who already use AI coding agents and want to orchestrate multiple agents in parallel, review AI-generated diffs rigorously, and manage complex multi-branch workflows.
