This article explains what it is, how it differs from Cursor, what it costs, and where it falls short.\n\n## What is Orca?\n\nOrca calls itself an **ADE**, an Agent Development Environment. The idea is simple:\n\n- A traditional **IDE** is built around one human typing code.\n- An **ADE** is built around you *supervising several AI agents* that write code at the same time.\n\nIn practice, Orca is a desktop app (macOS, Windows, Linux) where every task you start gets:\n\n1. Its own **git worktree** (an isolated copy of your repo on its own branch)\n2. Its own **agent terminal** (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Cursor CLI, and so on)\n3. Its own **browser tab** for previewing the app\n\n\n## A quick primer on git worktrees\n\nWorktrees are the core idea behind Orca, so it is worth a 30-second refresher.\n\nNormally, one repo folder has one checked-out branch.
