Orca

A desktop app that runs a fleet of terminal coding agents side by side, each in its own worktree, with diff review, a browser, a CLI and a mobile companion.

Core features

• Sandboxed runs Partial

  Per-worktree cloud VMs and Docker containers sit behind an experimental setting and need a recipe in the repo and your own provider.

  Source
• Diff review YesSource
• Agent coordination YesSource
• Scheduled tasks YesSource
• Event triggersNo

  Docs and code were searched for webhook, trigger and issue events. Automations only run on a schedule or by hand, and the code lists just scheduled and manual run triggers.

• Team collaboration Partial

  A Remote Orca Server can be a team box that several paired clients share, but docs show no user accounts, roles or invites.

  Source
• API / CLI control YesSource

Pricing

Free and open source. An Enterprise page offers a sales contact with no published prices or paid tier.

Platforms

macOS, Windows, Linux desktop; iOS and Android companion; browser client pairs to a Remote Orca Server; orca CLI and orca serve for headless Linux.

Research notes

orca.dev returns a 302 to onOrca.dev and the site now lives at www.onorca.dev; the GitHub homepage field still says orca.dev. LICENSE copyright is Lovecast Inc.; the site footer says Stably AI. Terminal launch is the primary path (agents picked from a combobox and started in a terminal). A structured chat view also exists, and the repo has Claude Agent SDK and codex app-server code (src/main/claude/, src/main/codex/), so integration is mixed. Own accounts are read from ~/.codex and ~/.claude, with account hot-swap. Cloud VMs use the user's own cloud account: the docs say Orca does not sell managed VPS hosting, so cloud is not listed under deployment. The 'Start your free trial' text on the homepage belongs to a demo mockup, not Orca's pricing.
