Features

<table> <tr> <td width="50%" valign="middle">

Chat or Terminal

Run any agent in Chat UI or as the raw CLI, and move a conversation between the two without losing context.

Orchestrate Agents

Hand a big task to one agent. It splits the work, starts worker agents in their own workspaces, and brings their results back to you.

Run Anywhere

Pair a Remote Orca Server, work on any SSH host, or give a worktree its own cloud VM. Your agents keep running when your laptop sleeps.

Orca CLI

Anything you can do in Orca, your agents can do too: create worktrees, start workers, drive the browser and desktop apps, and schedule automations, all from the command line.

Also in the box:

  • Drag Files to Agents: drag files from the explorer, or images from your desktop, straight into an agent's prompt.
  • Jump Anywhere: one shortcut jumps to any workspace or tab across every repo and host.
  • Rich Previews: open images, PDFs, and Markdown right in the workspace, next to the agent that made them.
  • Mobile Emulator: run an iOS Simulator or Android emulator beside your agent, and let it tap, type, and check its own work.
  • Dictation: press a shortcut and talk. Orca types what you say into the agent's prompt or terminal.
  • Usage & Accounts: see how much of your agent limits you've used and when they reset, and switch accounts without logging out.
  • Automations: schedule prompts to run on any repo: nightly dependency bumps, weekly triage, flaky-test sweeps.
  • Computer Use: when there's no CLI or API, agents can see and drive desktop apps and external browsers.
  • And many, many more: we ship daily, so this list is perpetually behind. The changelog is the real feature list.

Supported Agents

Works with any CLI agent — if it runs in a terminal, it runs in Orca.
