Which agents work with it?

Any agent that reads skills from a directory. Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity CLI and Grok Build all read /present natively.

What does “free and unlimited” mean?

Generating presentations is free with no cap. Narration runs on your own machine, so there's nothing to meter.

Where does the narration run?

On your machine. The finished presentation publishes to your channel so anyone with the link can watch it.

Do I have to write slides?

You never touch slides. You ask — “brief me on what shipped overnight” — and your agent authors, narrates, and publishes.

Every presentation gets a watch link on your channel. Send the link; it plays in any browser, phones included.

Yes — the /present skill is MIT-licensed, and the authoring spec is public.

Orca v1.4.197 shipped on September fourth. The Agents activity view comes out of preview, the app boots with a lot less JavaScript in front of it, and remote terminals hold on through much more. Here is what changed.

Orca v1.4.197

Agents activity view

The Agents activity view graduates, with filtering, persistence and a round of performance work behind it. The unread filter and the grouping you pick are still set the next time you open it, and automation runs get their own dashboard beside it, paginated and filterable.

Images in chat

Paste a screenshot into native chat and it shows up while it is still saving, and you can open it to preview. Structured Codex chat renders images now as well, and a structured Codex launch is race resistant.

Whitespace, favicons, session ids

The diff viewer gets a Show Whitespace toggle. Website entries in the browser show their favicons. And terminal tabs get a Copy Session ID item in the context menu.

Opening files

Open a Markdown file from Finder or Explorer and Orca puts it in the floating workspace with the editor already focused. Type a path that is really a domain and it opens as a URL rather than making a file, and so does a path with spaces in it.

01 — Faster

Speed.

Boot path

react-markdown and the emoji catalog leave the boot path and take 371 kilobytes of eager JavaScript with them, and the English catalog and the xterm WebGL addon follow. Startup garbage collection stops freezing the main process for seconds, 12,259 startup syscalls go away, and an unreachable SSH host no longer holds up your local terminals.

Terminal repaint

When an agent redraws its spinner, the terminal repaints only the rows it changed, and it stops shipping every one of those title frames to the renderer. Six timers stop ticking behind a hidden window, and an idle remote pane goes from thirty host round trips a minute down to four.

02 — Holding together

Now the repairs.

Remote panes

Orca now wants proof from the host before it respawns a pane, so a client that briefly cannot see one stops throwing your session away. A wedged relay link is declared lost rather than read as an answer, an expired lease reattaches its orphan instead of stranding it, and two pty file descriptor leaks are closed.

Platform fixes

If your macOS username has an at sign in it, Claude quota was unavailable, and now it works. On Windows, remote PowerShell commands stay inside what sshd's cmd.exe will accept, and WSL spawns name an explicit Windows working directory. On Linux the packaging stack landed and the CLI has one entrypoint.

Get it

That is Orca v1.4.197. It updates itself, or you can pick it up fresh for macOS, Windows or Linux at onorca.dev/download.
