* fix(git): refuse unsafe branch switches in an existing workspace The phone's Switch branch ran `git checkout` with no checks: uncommitted files moved to the other branch, and a switch could land under a working agent or mid-rebase. One host check now covers every client: it refuses, with a plain reason, when files are uncommitted, a merge/rebase/ cherry-pick/revert is in progress, HEAD is detached or unborn, another git action is running, or an agent in the checkout is working or waiting for approval. Checks and the checkout run under a per-checkout lock. After a switch the host clears the old branch's review links and push target and tells every client, so a phone-only host stays correct, and records that the user chose the branch so first-work naming never renames it. The open Commits list follows the new branch. * fix(git): review round 1 repairs for the guarded branch switch - check out through the provider so the user's switch keeps the interactive git queue - a landed switch that Windows left files behind on now tells the user instead of reporting success - never let a Windows yes/no prompt hold the switch lock - refuse submodule edits that submodule ignore config hides from status - record the switch on the target host's metadata row and never fail a landed switch on bookkeeping - read workspace paths from their ids instead of scanning the catalog on every switch - admit agent rows like the sidebar roster (listed tab, or a live terminal by pane, tab or handle) - move the host-side switch hooks into their own module * test: type the new switch test fakes instead of casting them * fix(git): second repair round for the guarded branch switch - report files Windows left behind from git's own unlink warnings, not a status re-read, so ordinary branch differences and submodule commit changes are never called failures - the phone refreshes its branch and files after a switch that landed with a warning - refuse only edits inside a submodule its ignore config hides, never a commit mismatch alone, reading status without optional locks in the interactive queue - read the agent process probe when a switch runs, not while the runtime is constructed - check the agent's checkout path before terminal liveness and build the tab list once per switch - the runtime wiring test no longer reaches real git * fix(git): scope the switch's agent check to the checkout and keep landed-switch outcomes honest - find candidate agents by checkout path first; build terminal liveness once, only from this checkout's terminals and its workspaces' saved tabs; probe candidates together and re-read the snapshot once; no work for unrelated workspaces (contract test at N and 10N) - a checkout that fails after HEAD moved is recorded as landed; files left behind are named only when git reports it could not replace them, otherwise git's own error is shown - parse git's unlink warnings for paths with apostrophes - the phone keeps the refusal or warning visible while it reloads the branch - cover a submodule that is only at another commit * fix(git): name git's own error when a switch lands after a failing hook; use the shared unlink parser * fix(git): keep the switch's agent check flat for unrelated folder workspaces - read folder workspace directories once per switch instead of a linear search per row and terminal - re-read each candidate's current status by pane key instead of rebuilding the whole snapshot - skip the hidden-submodule status pass in repos without submodules - the cost contract covers folder workspaces, many in-checkout agents and PTY passes - a real-git test covers a switch that lands before a failing post-checkout hook * fix(git): never quote git's progress line as a landed switch's error; fixed clock in the cost test * fix(git): decide the hidden-submodule check from the index, not a visible .gitmodules * perf(git): read only index modes for the submodule shortcut so large repos stay under the output cap

Features
Orchestrate AgentsHand a big task to one agent. It splits the work, starts worker agents in their own workspaces, and brings their results back to you. |
 |
Chat or TerminalRun any agent in Chat UI or as the raw CLI, and move a conversation between the two without losing context. |
 |
Run AnywherePair a Remote Orca Server, work on any SSH host, or give a worktree its own cloud VM. Your agents keep running when your laptop sleeps. |
 |
Mobile AppPair Orca with the mobile app to get pinged when an agent needs you, reply in chat, and keep work moving on any of your machines when you are away from your desk. |
 |
Review AI OutputReview diffs, leave notes on exact changed lines, and send focused feedback back to an agent. |
 |
Git IntegrationDraft commit messages and pull requests from the diff, then send failing checks or PR review comments back to an agent to fix. |
 |
Parallel WorktreesQuickly split tasks into isolated environments, so multiple agents can work side by side without interfering with each other. |
 |
Design ModeClick any element in Orca's browser to copy its HTML, styles, and selector, then paste it into your agent's chat. |
 |
GitHub & Linear, NativeSee your GitHub and Linear tasks in one place, and start a workspace for each when you're ready to build. |
 |
Orca CLIAnything you can do in Orca, your agents can do too: create worktrees, start workers, drive the browser and desktop apps, and schedule automations, all from the command line. |
 |
PluginsThemes, editors, languages, and panels from the community, installed in a click. |
 |
Split AnythingPut agents, terminals, browsers, and diffs side by side in split panes shaped to the task. |
 |
Also in the box:
- Drag Files to Agents: drag files from the explorer, or images from your desktop, straight into an agent's prompt.
- Jump Anywhere: one shortcut jumps to any workspace or tab across every repo and host.
- Rich Previews: open images, PDFs, and Markdown right in the workspace, next to the agent that made them.
- Mobile Emulator: run an iOS Simulator or Android emulator beside your agent, and let it tap, type, and check its own work.
- Dictation: press a shortcut and talk. Orca types what you say into the agent's prompt or terminal.
- Usage & Accounts: see how much of your agent limits you've used and when they reset, and switch accounts without logging out.
- Automations: schedule prompts to run on any repo: nightly dependency bumps, weekly triage, flaky-test sweeps.
- Computer Use: when there's no CLI or API, agents can see and drive desktop apps and external browsers.
- And many, many more: we ship daily, so this list is perpetually behind. The changelog is the real feature list.
