Description
Orca is the Agent Development Environment (ADE) for shipping with coding agents. It allows users to run multiple CLI agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and Cursor CLI across isolated worktrees. The tool is designed to help developers work faster than traditional IDEs. Orca is free, open source, and cross-platform, supporting macOS, Windows, and Linux. New features are shipped daily. The platform includes capabilities for managing tasks, automations, and projects, with examples like running checkout regression tests and validating EU promo codes. Orca is backed by Y Combinator.
