## What it is
Orca is an open-source Agent Development Environment (ADE) desktop app for running fleets of parallel AI coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and Cursor CLI, each in its own isolated git worktree. It includes Ghostty-inspired terminals, a built-in editor, diff review, git integration, scheduled automations, and iOS/Android companion apps for monitoring agents remotely.

## Use cases
- run multiple AI coding agents in parallel on the same repo
- fan one prompt out to several agents and compare results in isolated git worktrees
- monitor and steer coding agents from my phone
- review AI-generated diffs line by line before merging
- orchestrate Claude Code and Codex sessions side by side
- work on remote machines over SSH with agent worktrees
- schedule automated agent tasks and get notified when they finish

## When to choose
- you juggle many AI coding agents and want isolated worktrees and unified tracking
- you want a desktop IDE purpose-built for orchestrating agent fleets with mobile monitoring
- you need diff review, git integration, and automation around agent output

## When to avoid
- you just need a single agent session in a plain terminal
- you want a lightweight CLI-only tool without a desktop app
- you don't use AI coding agents in your workflow
