meet Orca

in one place
what: open-source agent development environment
agents: Claude, Codex, OpenCode, Pi + any CLI agent
desktop: macOS, Windows, Linux
mobile: iOS, Android
download: onorca.dev/download

martn.ai
parallel agents
run Claude, Codex,
and more side by side
give each agent a separate task, or send the same
prompt to several agents and compare their results.
Orca keeps the sessions visible together, so
choosing the strongest answer takes less
tab-switching and guesswork.
Claude
Codex
separate agents. one place to compare
the work.

martn.ai
separate worktrees
separate branches keep
each agent's changes apart
one agent can edit the frontend while another fixes
tests. each works in a separate branch and
worktree, reducing fragile overwrites before
you review and merge the changes you want.
Run agents in parallel
parallel sessions, isolated work

Design Mode
click the broken UI.
send it to the agent.
select the real page element inside Orca. Design
Mode adds its HTML, CSS, and screenshot context
to the prompt, giving the coding agent a clearer
target than a vague description.

mobile control
steer the whole setup
from your phone
open live sessions, read
terminal output, send
follow-ups, switch
worktrees, and get notified
when an agent finishes;
your code and agents stay
on the desktop while the
phone acts as the remote
control.
use any agent,
anywhere

final verdict
VS Code is still an editor.
Orca feels like the
command center.
it makes the most sense once your main job
becomes assigning work, watching several
coding agents, and deciding which changes
should merge.

separate worktrees
