One copy of unsaved edits
Every Orca tab of a file now shares one copy of your unsaved edits
Deleting a workspace lists its unsaved files first. Stale Markdown and notebook edits can’t overwrite newer text.
Open one file in two Orca workspaces and type in either: the other tab shows the same unsaved text. Orca asks to save only when the file's last tab closes.
Chats catch up
Codex and Pi chats in Orca show the turns you took in a terminal
Native chat is experimental. Update paired and SSH hosts alongside Orca.
Continue a Codex or Pi conversation in a terminal, then reopen the chat in Orca: those turns now appear under Continued outside this chat. Native chat is still experimental, so update your hosts too.
Chat or terminal per workspace
Create worktree starts each agent as a chat or in its terminal CLI
Settings can make your default agent open either way.
Creating a worktree or folder in Orca, each agent row now has a terminal button, so one workspace can start Claude in its CLI. Your default agent can open either way.
Accounts on a remote server
Add Claude and Codex accounts on a remote Orca server from your desktop
- Before
- Add Account was greyed out, so you signed in from a terminal on the server
- Now
- the server runs the sign-in and your device opens the page
- Credentials
- stay on the server
- Windows servers, older hosts
- keep the terminal sign-in
On a paired remote Orca server, Add Account for Claude and Codex was greyed out. Once that server is updated, it runs the sign-in. Windows servers and older hosts still use a terminal.
A browser that knows the workspace
A new tab in Orca’s browser opens on your workspace
- New tab
- the workspace’s dev servers, pull request and issue, then your most visited sites
- Address bar
- suggestions as you type
- Each site
- remembers its permissions, appearance and zoom
A new tab in Orca's browser now opens on your workspace: its running dev servers, its pull request and issue, then the sites you visit most. Each site keeps its permissions and zoom.
Agent state on phone tabs
Orca’s phone tabs show which agents are working, waiting or done
Double-tap a terminal tab to rename it. The Home screen’s New Workspace entry waits for the next phone app build.
On the phone, Orca's tab strip now shows each agent's state: a spinner while it works, red when it waits on you, green when it's done. Double-tap a terminal tab to rename it.
