Hey everyone 👋 — I was finding myself disorganized juggling working with too many agents.
We built Orca because coding with AI started to feel… single-threaded.
Orca lets you run multiple coding agents at once — each in its own isolated worktree, with its own terminal, context, and environment.
It’s a terminal-first desktop app with:
* Built-in file editing + diff previews
* Rich markdown editor
* GitHub integrations (PR, Issues, etc)
* Coding agent notifications (click to jump to the coding agent)
Orca is also:
* free + open source
* cross-platform
* very customizable and flexible
We’re shipping daily and open to comments or PRs!
I'm currently using cmux, but Orca looks way cooler and more user-friendly. I'll definitely give it a try and let you know what I think.

Who hunted Orca?
Orca was hunted by Neil Parker. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it.
