Features

Mobile Companion

Monitor and steer your agents from your phone — get notified when an agent finishes and send follow-ups from anywhere.

iOS App Store · TestFlight · Android APK 0.0.44 · Docs →

Parallel Worktrees

Fan one prompt across five agents, each in its own isolated git worktree — compare the results and merge the winner.

Docs →

Terminal Splits

Ghostty-class terminals with WebGL rendering, infinite splits, and scrollback that survives restarts.

Docs →

Design Mode

Click any UI element in a real Chromium window to send its HTML, CSS, and a cropped screenshot straight into your agent's prompt.

Docs →

GitHub & Linear, Native

Browse PRs, issues, and project boards in-app — open a worktree from any task and review without a context switch.

Docs →

SSH Worktrees

Run agents on a beefy remote box with full file editing, git, and terminals — auto-reconnect and port forwarding included.

Docs →

Annotate AI Diffs

Drop comments on any diff line and ship them back to the agent — review, edit, and commit without leaving Orca.

Docs →

Drag Files to Agents

VS Code's editor with autosave everywhere — drag files or images straight into an agent prompt.

Docs →

Orca CLI

Agents drive Orca too — script every workflow with orca worktree create, snapshot, click, and fill.

Docs →

Also in the box:

  • Quick open — Search across worktrees, files, agents, commands, and repo context without leaving your flow.

  • Account switcher & usage tracking — See Claude and Codex usage and rate-limit resets, and hot-swap accounts without re-logging in.

  • Rich repo previews — Preview Markdown, images, PDFs, and repo docs in the workspace.

  • Computer Use — Let agents operate desktop apps and visible UI when a workflow needs real interaction.

  • Notifications and unread state — Know when an agent finishes or needs attention, then mark threads unread to come back later.

  • And many, many more — we ship daily, so this list is perpetually behind. The changelog is the real feature list.

Supported Agents

Works with any CLI agent — if it runs in a terminal, it runs in Orca.
