Orca is a desktop IDE for running multiple AI coding agents side by side. Every task gets its own git worktree, its own agent terminal, and its own browser tab — so you can fan out work across Claude Code, Codex, Cursor CLI, and friends without stashing, branch-juggling, or losing flow.
When to use Orca
- You want three agents trying the same bug in parallel and to pick the winner.
- You want to review AI-generated diffs seriously before you ship them.
- You already pay for Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor CLI and want one place to orchestrate them.
- You want agents to run remotely over SSH without giving up your IDE.
Who it's for
Orca is designed for people who already write code for a living and want to use AI as leverage — not as a replacement. It assumes you read diffs, care about commits, and keep a worktree tidy. If you're looking for a no-code tool, Orca is not that.
What Orca is not
- Not a model. Orca runs agents you already use — bring your own Claude, Codex, or OpenCode subscription.
- Not a git replacement. Every worktree is a real git worktree. You can cd in and use plain git whenever you want.
- Not cloud-only. Orca runs locally. Remote agents happen through SSH to machines you own.
