AI agents and automation

orca

by stablyai

Orca is a desktop app, with a phone companion, for running several AI coding agents side by side, each in its own git worktree. It lets you track, review and steer their work from one place.

Worth a lookEstablished, with a few things to check (listed below).

What you can do with it

  • Send one prompt to several coding agents at once, each in its own git worktree, then compare results and merge the best one
  • Review agent changes by commenting on diff lines and sending the comments back to the agent
  • Monitor agents from your phone and get notified when they finish

Make money with it

A freelance developer could use it to deliver client software projects faster by running several agents on them at once.

An idea, not financial advice. Check the licence before charging for anything built on it.

Ways a business could use it

  • A freelance developer can run several agents on the same task in parallel and keep the best result, which cuts the time spent on each client job.
  • A small team can manage agent work across GitHub and Linear tasks in one app, so fewer separate tools are needed.

Can you use it commercially?

Free to use, change and sell, including in paid products. Keep the copyright notice.

Not legal advice. Read the project's licence file before building a product on it.

Getting it running

Download the desktop app from the project website, or install the mobile app from the iOS App Store or as an Android APK.

Follow the official instructions in the project README.

Things to check

  • Needs your own subscriptions or API access for the coding agents, such as Claude Code or Codex, which may cost money
  • Changes very quickly (the README says it ships daily), so features and behaviour may shift
  • Computer Use lets agents operate desktop apps, which carries safety risks if not supervised
