### 2/5 — 改悪

*2026-07-25*

以前はclaude codeなどのセッションでターミナルをそのまま表示していたのに、突然独自のUIに差し替えられた。旧版に戻せる選択肢を与えるべき。カスタマイズしているコンテキスト使用率が見れるステータスラインやエージェントの状態などが不透明になり突然使い物にならなくなった。

### 3/5 — Missing feature

*2026-07-29*

After latest update there are so many bug. Cannot change effort level. Some time needs restart the app to see changes

### 4/5 — Answer and Reasoning display

*2026-08-25*

Pretty good client. However, the current version has both the agent answer and reasoning processes displayed, seems the collapse doesn’t take effort, but you click collapse it reveal the same thought processes in a popup with raw JSON in red. Also everything is displayed above the user’s request, both the actual answer and the reasoning text.

### 4/5 — keyboard avoid?

*2026-07-28*

keyboard avoid直接杀死了app. native chat模式。 另外手机版本不支持访问模拟器(serve-sim应该能做到吧，走类似tailscale网络，其实目前是连内网都没有走)。手机上面打开html文件预览也不方便。

### 4/5 — Almost there

*2026-07-17*

Thank you for putting this together! Can connect to remote no problem, projects show up, can enter terminal commands, but for whatever reason there seems to be issues focusing the text input for Claude specifically. When launching a new Claude code session, the input doesn’t focus so you can’t type into it and there is no apparent way to get it to focus by clicking or anything else. The only trick I have found to work is backgrounding the app then bringing it up again focuses the text area.

### 5/5 — we need opencode chat ui support

*2026-09-02*

we need opencode chat ui support^_^

### 5/5 — 太好用了

*2026-08-22*

这个东西太好用了！电脑上可以跑很多 CLI 工具，直接 all in one 放在 orca 里一起跑，速度非常快。

其次它的手机版本也特别爽，因为有 relay，手机可以直接连到本地电脑，简直无敌。

如果你不用其他 AI 桌面端工具、只用 CLI 的话，这个 Orca IDE 巨好用，本地基本上都不用开 terminal 了，贼好用，强烈推荐！

### 5/5 — This is the best coding software you can get.

*2026-08-20*

I've been using Orca for a while now. Before that, I used Ghostty, some terminal tools, Claude Code, and the official ChatGPT app, but none of them come close to Orca. It's genuinely the best tool I've used.

Whether it's checking files or running multiple agents in parallel, it's an absolute game-changer. I highly recommend it—five stars.

### 5/5 — Just amazing

*2026-08-10*

How is this free!!! Thank you for keeping this free and open source

### 5/5 — Best IDE I’ve ever used

*2026-08-10*

Besides having the best features, It’s great to see the project evolving daily.
