Best for

Developers and AI engineers who use CLI coding agents and require a unified environment for running, comparing, and merging parallel tasks.

Key capabilities

Executes multiple agents side-by-side, with each operating in its own isolated git worktree to allow for the comparison and merging of results.
Provides an interface to monitor and steer agents from a phone, receive notifications, and send follow-up messages.
Offers Ghostty-class terminals with WebGL rendering, infinite splits, and persistent scrollback.
Allows users to click UI elements in a Chromium window to send HTML, CSS, and cropped screenshots directly into an agent's prompt.
Enables browsing pull requests, issues, and project boards directly within the application.
Runs agents on remote machines with file editing, git, and terminal access, including auto-reconnect and port forwarding.
Permits users to drop comments on specific diff lines and send them back to the agent for review and editing.
Allows agents or users to script workflows using commands like `orca worktree create`, `snapshot`, `click`, and `fill`.

Limitations and risks

The environment only supports CLI-based coding agents.
Users must bring their own paid subscriptions for the underlying coding agents used within the environment.

Getting started

Installers are available for direct download on macOS, Windows, and Linux, with package manager support provided through Homebrew and AUR.
