A terminal hotel for your fleet of CLI agents

What it does

Orca is a desktop IDE that hosts CLI coding agents—Claude Code, Codex, Grok, and many others—each inside its own git worktree. Instead of running one agent at a time in your main repo, you get parallel, isolated sessions with built-in diff review, GitHub integration, and terminal splits. A mobile companion app lets you check agent progress from your phone.

The interesting bit

The worktree-native design is the quiet killer feature: every agent task lives in a separate git worktree by default, which eliminates branch juggling and stashing without requiring container orchestration. It acts as a control plane for subscriptions you already own—no vendor login or API key management through Orca itself.

Key highlights

• Supports any CLI agent, with explicit compatibility for Claude Code, Codex, Grok, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and others
• Runs agents side-by-side in tabs and panes with Ghostty-class terminal splits
• Built-in source control for reviewing AI diffs and committing without leaving the app
• SSH worktrees for running agents on remote machines from the same interface
• Mobile companion apps for iOS and Android to monitor and control agents away from your desk

Verdict

Worth a look if you already subscribe to multiple CLI coding agents and want to run them in parallel without hand-managing git worktrees. Skip it if you want a single-agent experience or expect Orca to provide the models—it orchestrates agents you already pay for, but does not replace them.
