Run multiple coding agents in parallel from a single interface
Work continues in the cloud even if you close your laptop, and you can issue instructions to agents via smartphone notifications. Orca is an integrated management tool that runs multiple coding agents, such as Claude Code or Codex, simultaneously and isolates their workspaces to prevent conflicts. Instead of complex terminal commands, you pilot agents and review results within a single app.
Task Splitting and Parallel Processing
When you assign a large task to a single agent, Orca breaks it down and starts multiple worker agents. Each worker performs its task in an independent worktree, and completed results are gathered back to the main agent. This allows multiple agents to work side by side without interfering with each other. You can continue working by moving between chat and terminal without losing context between agents.
Execution Environments Beyond the Desktop
Orca runs agents not only on local desktops but also on remote servers or cloud VMs. Even if you close your laptop, agents continue working in the background. When paired with a mobile app, you receive notifications when an agent needs help and can respond via chat from your smartphone. Both iOS and Android are supported, and the mobile app integrates with the desktop app to allow you to issue instructions from anywhere.
Result Review and Automation Features
You can view code changes made by agents in diff format and add comments to specific lines to send feedback. Check tasks from GitHub and Linear in one place and start a workspace immediately if needed. You can schedule and automate repetitive tasks such as regular dependency updates or test runs. A design mode is also provided that lets you click elements in the browser to copy HTML and styles and pass them to the agent.
Installation and Support
Available on macOS, Windows, and Linux desktops, it can be installed via Homebrew or AUR. The mobile app is downloadable from the App Store or as an APK. It is compatible with all CLI agents that run in the terminal and supports various tools such as Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor. It is free and open source under the MIT license. Since updates occur daily, it is recommended to check the changelog to see the latest features.
