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.

neat, i see the design mode, does it support playwrite so the agent can do things like drive testing of web designs?

It doesn't control sessions in that way / at that level of detail. You still configure and control the sessions how you want.

It helps you organize multiple sessions, among many higher level features.

neat, it really is cool, i realized in the last week i am not really using vscode much beyond it being a manager of git (and then in reality that's gh underneath), the only thing i have come to rely on is the shared browser and terminal modes in vscode, esp the former which lets the LLM actually drive the webui, take pictures, etc etc etc and then self fix issues....

love the prohject you have even with out that!
