Which agents work with it?

Any agent that reads skills from a directory. Claude Code, Codex and Gemini CLI read it natively; Cursor and VS Code connect over MCP.

The voice runs on your own machine, so there is nothing to meter. The first run downloads it, about 340 MB.

Yes. The skill is MIT-licensed and the authoring format is public.

Stop what Codex left running

Orca now stops the commands and helper agents Codex leaves running

The background-tasks strip in an Orca Codex chat: one shell command, sleep 900, running for 6 seconds, with a Stop button

Stopping a command needs Codex 0.140 or newer. Grok chats get the same Stop.

When Codex leaves a dev server or a helper agent running in an Orca chat, it now gets its own Stop button. Stopping commands needs Codex 0.140 or newer, and Grok chats get the same button.

Codex chats offer Ultrafast

Codex chats in Orca can now run at Ultrafast speed

Only on models and accounts that offer it, such as GPT-6.1 Sol.

The Speed section of an Orca Codex chat's options menu: Standard, Fast (2x speed, increased usage) and Ultrafast

Codex chats in Orca swap the Fast switch for a Speed menu with Standard, Fast and Ultrafast. Ultrafast appears only on models and accounts that offer it, such as GPT-6.1 Sol.

The phone opens every chat agent

The Orca phone app now opens Grok, OpenCode, OMP and Pi chats

An older phone app keeps showing “Update to view” until you update it.

A Grok chat open in the Orca phone app, with a reply from Grok and the Grok 4.7 High model picker

Orca's phone app now opens Grok, OpenCode, OMP and Pi chats alongside Claude and Codex, so you can reply and answer approvals from your phone. An older phone app shows Update to view until you update it.

Claude accounts stay signed in

Saved Claude accounts in Orca now stay signed in

Own folder: each account keeps its own Claude login fresh
Sign-in link: copy it to sign in a second email in a private window

Each Claude account saved in Orca now gets its own Claude folder, so Claude keeps that login fresh and you stay signed in. To add a second email, copy the sign-in link into a private window.

Agent browser tabs are locked to local tools

Web pages can no longer take over the browser tabs your agents drive

Before: any page that found the tab’s local port could run code and read cookies
Now: the port answers only local automation tools, as Chrome’s does

Orca's browser opens a local control port for each tab an agent drives. A web page that found that port could take over the tab and read its cookies. Orca now refuses those pages, and agents connect as before.

Windows notifications stop freezing Orca

On Windows, agent notifications stop freezing Orca

Resume: very large terminal conversations open in a native chat
Chat visuals: open in their own tab beside your files

Release notes on GitHub

Orca on Windows no longer freezes when an agent sends a notification. Resume in New Native Chat now opens very large terminal conversations, and agent charts get their own tab. The rest is in the release notes on GitHub.
