I personally highly recommend an open-source coding IDE that rivals and even surpasses Codex App in some areas: Orca
https://onorca.dev
https://github.com/stablyai/orca
Mac / Win / Linux — full platform support. Works with all major coding agent CLIs (Claude Code, Codex, Pi, OpenCode, etc.). It’s the most powerful wrapper I’ve ever used — I’ve uninstalled all the others.
Features:
- Parallel worktrees
- Computer use (control your computer, similar to Codex’s computer use)
- Logged-in browser (similar to Codex @chrome)
- Embedded real Chromium + Design Mode
- Orca Mobile (mobile app to remotely control your computer!)
- Automation (scheduled tasks, loop engineering)
- Voice input
- iOS / Android phone emulators
- Remote host control
- Token usage tracking
- GitHub / Linear native: PRs, issues, boards — open directly
- Orca CLI
I especially want to emphasize: if you like Pi, you’ll love this too.

here’s the exact setup i’m running to manage 3 agent harnesses at once and ship like a madman: Claude Code + Codex + omp, all running inside@orca_build (https://x.com/orca_build)(not sponsored) solid environment, real mobile support, and their /orchestrate is the easiest way i’ve found to delegate workShow more (https://x.com/EXM7777/status/2069416164565103076)
Debo confesar que estaba muy casado con Claude Code. Usaba OpenCode para algún test que hacía pero poca cosa. Sin embargo, desde NaN ya casi no salgo de él.

Yo he pasado por Warp, Ghostty y CMUX, pero creo que finalmente conseguí mi lugar para el desarrollo agentico con@orca_build (https://x.com/orca_build). No lo conocía, me lo recomendó@hector_reyes_ (https://x.com/hector_reyes_)y oh boy, ¿será que conseguí mi santo grial?
this is why I’ve been using Orca with OMP lately fast feedback loop, truly all-in-one, and the team ships/responds insanely fast also my cat has approved the setup
Replying to @MilesDigitek (https://x.com/MilesDigitek/status/2054541922635579471)I cannot believe how good Orca is, Miles. Is it just me, or are people not really talking much about it? It makes everything so much easier. Codex and Claude Code agents all running in a way that’s so much easier to manage
Been using Orca IDE. The orchestration setup with this is lit. I’m using Grok as the brains. Claude as the designer and Codex as the developer. Setup was overall easy. Should for sure try it out.onorca.dev (https://www.onorca.dev/)@orca_build (https://x.com/orca_build)
No joke... I filed my tax this year using this
Love the community shoutout🔷 And we’ve been shipping even more—now your agent can control your browser inside Orca IDE. Enable it via Settings → Orca Browser Use Orca builders are about to move even faster 🚀github.com/stablyai/orca
I’ve been working with@orca_build (https://x.com/orca_build)’s agent IDE and I’ve been really liking it Pros: - Orca’s main view is a ghostty-like terminal so you get split panes + responsive - This also means you can use any AI model/harness (e.g. Claude Code, Codex, Pi, etc.) - Agent worskpaces withShow more (https://x.com/noahlisk/status/2042468797555044523)

cogito.md is a clean and elegant Markdown-dedicated editor that supports folder-based project organization and integrates Claude Code or Codex as Agent services. It's well-suited for visually building knowledge bases and is considered a better fit for Agent workflows than Obsidian.
