Parallel agent desktop and mobile app

Orca is an app for running multiple coding agents in parallel, each in its own git worktree, and tracking them in one place. It works with any CLI agent, adds terminal splits, file drag-and-drop, review tools, and a mobile companion for monitoring and follow-up.

Videos about this repo

Who it's for

Builders who want one place to run, compare, and review parallel agent sessions across desktop, mobile, and remote machines.

What it delivers

You can fan one task out to several agents, inspect their results, and merge the best result without juggling separate terminals.

What it does

Parallel worktrees

Runs one prompt across multiple agents in isolated git worktrees so you can compare outputs and merge the winner.

Mobile companion

Lets you monitor agents, get finish notifications, and send follow-up prompts from your phone.

Terminal splits

Provides Ghostty-style terminal splits with WebGL rendering and scrollback that survives restarts.

Design mode

Lets you click UI elements in a Chromium window and send HTML, CSS, and a cropped screenshot into the agent prompt.

GitHub and Linear views

Shows PRs, issues, and project boards in-app so you can open a worktree from a task and review it there.

SSH worktrees

Runs agents on a remote machine with file editing, git, terminals, reconnects, and port forwarding.

Annotate AI diffs

Lets you comment on diff lines and send feedback back to the agent before you commit.

Orca CLI

Exposes commands like `orca worktree create`, `snapshot`, `click`, and `fill` for scripting workflows.

Script Orca from the CLI

Also in the box:

  • Quick open — Search across worktrees, files, agents, commands, and repo context without leaving your flow.
  • Account switcher & usage tracking — See Claude and Codex usage and rate-limit resets, and hot-swap accounts without re-logging in.
  • Rich repo previews — Preview Markdown, images, PDFs, and repo docs in the workspace.
  • Computer Use — Let agents operate desktop apps and visible UI when a workflow needs real interaction.
  • Notifications and unread state — Know when an agent finishes or needs attention, then mark threads unread to come back later.
  • And many, many more — we ship daily, so this list is perpetually behind. The changelog is the real feature list.
