What is it?

Orca is a desktop app for working with a fleet of coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode and Pi. Each agent runs in its own isolated git worktree, so several tasks can progress in parallel without interfering with each other, and all of them are tracked in one place. Any CLI agent that runs in a terminal can be used, and agents run on your own subscriptions.

The app bundles a Ghostty-style terminal with split panes, an embedded Chromium browser with a Design Mode that sends selected elements to an agent, and a file editor. It also shows GitHub pull requests, issues and Linear tasks, lets you annotate AI-generated diffs, and tracks usage and rate limits for Claude and Codex accounts. Remote worktrees over SSH are supported, along with an iOS and Android companion app for notifications and follow-up prompts.

Orca is available for macOS, Windows and Linux and is released under the MIT license. It also ships a CLI so that scripts or agents can create worktrees and drive the UI.

  • 05Browse GitHub and Linear tasks and open a worktree from them.
  • 06Mobile companion app for notifications and follow-up prompts.

Use cases

  • Comparing several agents' solutions to the same prompt and merging the best one.
  • Running long agent tasks on a remote machine over SSH while monitoring from a phone.
  • Reviewing and annotating AI-generated diffs before committing.
  • Tracking Claude and Codex usage across multiple accounts.

Quick start

Things to know
