Orca

A workspace app for running several AI coding agents side by side and keeping track of them in one place.

Fast-rising

What it does

Orca is a desktop app for people who use AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex or OpenCode. It lets you run several of them at once, each working on its own separate copy of your project, so you can compare results and keep the best one.

It bundles terminals, a code editor, a built-in browser and tools for reviewing the changes an agent made. You can comment on a change and send the note straight back to the agent.

A companion phone app for iPhone and Android lets you check on agents and send follow-ups when you're away from your desk.

Who it's for

Programmers who already use command-line AI coding agents and want to run and review several at once.

Can I use it without coding?

With some setup. Download the desktop app, but you also need at least one AI coding agent installed and some familiarity with code. New to this? Start here.
