Orca
Orca is a desktop environment for developers coordinating AI coding agents across software projects. It organizes work in isolated Git worktrees, allowing agents to tackle separate tasks or try the same task in parallel. Each workspace combines an agent terminal with code editing, browser access, and tools to inspect diffs, review changes, and commit or push work. Orca supports command-line agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor CLI, and OpenCode, and can connect work to code repositories and issue-tracking tools. Developers can run agents locally or on remote machines, organize work into sessions, and use a mobile companion to monitor sessions away from the desktop. A command-line interface supports workspace and agent-task automation. Orca is designed for developers working with code and Git who want to supervise multiple AI-assisted coding tasks; it is a desktop application rather than a hosted coding service.

bb
bb is a local-first, fully customizable IDE for working with AI coding agents, designed to control, automate, and even modify itself. Almost anything in the environment can be changed with a single prompt: users can add panels, CLI commands, skills, plugins, and workflows that immediately become available to their agents. Many of bb’s own capabilities, including GitHub integration, agent memory, scheduled jobs, and remote access, are built as plugins using the same tools available to users. Its CLI is open to external programs such as shell scripts, cron jobs, or bots in Telegram, Signal, and Slack, allowing them to spawn work threads that remain available in the sidebar. bb supports multiple coding agents, including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Pi, OpenCode, Grok, omp, and Hermes, letting users assign tasks to the best-suited agent or have one agent spawn and manage another in separate threads. Work runs on the user’s own machine and can continue independently until they return.

ADE
ADE is an agentic development environment for software developers who use AI coding agents with Git repositories. It organizes parallel tasks in isolated Git worktrees and combines agent chat, multi-agent sessions, terminals, file editing, testing, browser-based QA, automation, and pull-request review in one workspace. Desktop, browser, terminal, and iOS clients sync project activity through an ADE Brain running on a machine you control; Linux can host the Brain without a Linux desktop app. ADE supports Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Factory Droid, and OpenCode, and connects to GitHub and Linear for pull requests and issue workflows. Developers can review changes, inspect test results, and continue work across devices.

Emdash
Emdash is an open-source agentic development environment that enables software developers to run and manage multiple AI coding agents from a centralized desktop application. The platform supports coding assistants such as Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, Amp, and OpenCode through their command-line interfaces. Each development task operates in an isolated Git worktree, allowing agents to work on separate branches without interfering with one another. Emdash provides integrated terminals, code editing tools, application previews, and Git functionality for reviewing and managing agent-generated changes. Its automation features allow developers to schedule recurring coding tasks, while integrations with GitHub, Jira, Linear, and other services connect agents to existing development workflows. The software supports local and remote execution environments and is available for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
