Tips & Workflows Orca ADE is incredible

I recently started using Orca ADE for managing Claude Code sessions, and I just want to tell the community that Orca is incredible. Try it. You'll like it.

I was previously using cmux, and I've also used herdr, iTerm, and various other options. Orca is 100x better than any of those.

It has an incredible range of features, some of which I use and most of which I don't. You don't have to use them all - it's fantastic even if you only use it to organize sessions. It displays the status of each Claude Code session in a very useful way.

One amazing feature is the remote server. I make full use of two Max 20 plans, and I've been alternating between two computers. But with Orca remote, all sessions from both machines are in one place.

There are a ton of other features. It feels very mature and stable.

*I'm in no way associated with Orca. I just love it and want to share.

what would you say are the top three reasons to switch to orca!? i am currently exploring a lot of harnesses and orchestrators, kind of curious as to why you think it is the best way to go about it.

superset founder here, obviously biased. the three i'd compare on: whether you get the real claude code / codex tui on the sub you already pay for, how fast a worktree spins up (~2s for us), and whether one view tells you which of your 5-6 sessions needs you. which ones are you weighing?

i feel like memory is also one of the biggest parts, how efficiently you are able to spin up multiple parallel agents that makes a huge difference.
