A minimal IDE for AI agent development.
Strong terminals, parallel worktrees, one place — cut the bloat, keep what matters.
Sol is an independent fork, split from Orca. No upstream roadmap, no mobile companion, no marketing integrations — only what you need to run agents effectively.
Keep
- Terminal — Ghostty-class, WebGL, infinite splits, durable scrollback
- Parallel worktrees — multiple agents in isolated git branches; compare and merge
- Any CLI agent — Claude Code, Codex, Grok, Cursor, OpenCode, Pi… if it runs in a terminal, it runs here
- SSH — agents on remote machines with full file, git, and terminal access
- Editor — VS Code-style, autosave, drag files into prompts
Cut / deprioritize
- Mobile companion and complex push notifications
- Full native Linear/GitHub integrations
- Design Mode, Computer Use, automation wall
- Orca CLI orchestration, telemetry, community funnel (Discord / marketing site)
- Voice dictation / on-device speech-to-text (sherpa-onnx)
- Floating Workspace (global overlay terminal/browser/notes outside worktrees)
