orca - agent development environment for parallel ai coding agents
About Orca
Open-source Agent Development Environment for running a fleet of AI coding agents at once. Every task gets its own git worktree, its own agent terminal, and its own browser tab, so you can fan one prompt across several agents, compare the diffs, and merge the winner. It drives roughly 30 CLI agents you already pay for, including Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Cursor and Copilot, and ships on macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android.
Key Capabilities
Run a fleet of coding agents in parallel, each in its own isolated git worktree
Fan one prompt across several agents, compare the results, and merge the winner
Works with roughly 30 CLI agents: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, OpenCode, Grok and more
Mobile companion for iOS and Android to monitor and steer long agent runs from your phone
SSH worktrees run agents on a remote box with full editing, git and terminals
Design Mode sends any UI element's HTML, CSS and a cropped screenshot into the agent prompt
Standout Features
Parallel Worktrees
Every task gets its own git worktree, agent terminal and browser tab, so agents running side by side never collide.
Mobile Companion
iOS and Android apps notify you when an agent finishes and let you send follow-ups from anywhere.
Design Mode
Click any element in an embedded Chromium window to send its HTML, CSS and a cropped screenshot into the prompt.
SSH Worktrees
Point Orca at a remote machine and get full file editing, git and terminals with auto-reconnect and port forwarding.
Any CLI Agent
Roughly 30 named agents ship with first-class support, and anything that runs in a terminal can be wired up.

Similar Tools to Orca
Parallel Code
Free, open-source desktop app that dispatches AI coding agents in parallel, each in its own git worktree. It runs the real CLI agents you already trust (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini) side by side, then lets you review the diffs, merge the wins, and toss the rest.
Vibe Kanban
Open-source kanban board for orchestrating AI coding agents. Plan tasks as issues, run Claude Code, Codex, or Gemini CLI in isolated git worktrees, review diffs inline, and open pull requests from one local UI. The company behind it (bloop) shut down in April 2026, but the project lives on as community-maintained open source and local workspaces keep working.
Hermes Agent
Self-hosted autonomous agent from Nous Research with a built-in learning loop. Creates skills from experience, persists memory across sessions, and runs 24/7 on your own hardware with sandboxed terminals and messaging-app gateways.
Hermes WebUI
Lightweight dark-themed browser interface for Hermes Agent with full parity to the CLI. Three-panel layout with sessions sidebar, chat, and workspace file browser. Community project that runs against any existing Hermes install.
Conductor
macOS app for running Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and OpenCode side by side, each in its own isolated workspace, without wrangling git worktrees by hand. You bring your own agent subscriptions and keys. The paid Conductor Cloud tier moves those workspaces into Vercel sandboxes so agents keep running after you shut the laptop, and adds shared multiplayer workspaces plus an API.
Google AntiGravity
Google's agentic development platform, now split across four surfaces: the Antigravity IDE (VS Code fork), Antigravity 2.0 standalone desktop, the Go-based Antigravity CLI, and a Python SDK for custom agents.
