What is Onorca?
Orca (onorca.dev), from Stably AI, is an agent development environment that runs coding agents such as Claude Code and Codex side by side, each task in its own git worktree. It adds split panes for terminals, browsers and diffs, inline diff comments, GitHub and Linear integration, and a companion mobile app for checking on agents.
Pros: what Onorca does well
- Runs several coding agents in parallel without them clashing
- Free and open source under the MIT licence
Cons: where it falls short
- Built for developers who already use CLI coding agents
- Young project, still changing quickly
Who Onorca is for
Developers who run Claude Code, Codex or other CLI agents on several tasks at once.
Who can skip it
People who only use one AI chat app and do not work with git.
What people use Onorca for
- Running Claude Code, Codex and other CLI agents on several tasks at the same time
- Keeping each agent's work apart in its own git worktree
- Reviewing an agent's diff and sending inline comments back to it
- Checking on agent status and usage from your phone while away from the desk
How to get started
