dr_cintas · x · 2026-08-17
Orca is an open-source environment for orchestrating a fleet of agents, allowing users to run five coding agents on the same task and keep the best result.
Key Features:
- Parallel Execution: Fans out a single prompt across Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Cursor, and Grok, each running in an isolated git worktree.
- Compare & Merge: Compares the diffs from all agents and allows merging the winner.
- Cross-Platform: Works on macOS, Windows, and Linux via terminal, browser, and GitHub.
- Mobile Monitoring: Monitor and steer agents from your phone.
- BYO Subscriptions: Bring your own API keys with no markup.
