Orbit v1.2.0

Orbit 1.2.0: Grok tells you when things are ready, and updates itself.

• Updates itself. From this version on, Orbit checks GitHub for new versions, downloads them in the background and installs when you quit. Turn it off, or press Check now, in Settings → Updates. Every download is checked against its checksum before it installs.
• Grok wakes up to tell you. When Claude finishes something Grok sent for you, or the second brain answers after you hung up, Grok wakes, tells you, then listens for a few seconds in case you want something. Turn on Wake Grok to say it (Settings → When Claude finishes) to hear about every finished prompt. Wakes are spaced out and capped at 6 an hour.
• A second brain. For hard questions, Grok can ask Claude Code in the background (Settings → Second brain) and give you a short spoken answer, with the details there if you ask. This replaces Orbit Agents.
• Picks up where you left off. When Grok goes to sleep it keeps a short note of what you were doing, only in memory and only for 30 minutes, so "Hey Grok" carries on instead of starting cold.
• New Claude sessions by voice. "Start a new session", then say what you want. Grok only sends after you say yes.
• Voice-only sending. The draft card is gone. Grok reads the prompt back and sends it when you say yes.
• Works across Claude windows. The orb sticks to Claude Code and follows whichever Claude window you're using, and switching sessions works across windows.
• Claude Code sign-in. Settings → Second brain shows whether Claude Code is signed in and has a Sign in button. If the sign-in expires, Grok says so and offers to open it for you.
• The orb: Claude-orange while Claude works, pulses with your voice and Grok's, and you can stir it with your mouse, like on the website.- Fixes: wakes that played no sound, the mic not opening after a wake, back-to-back wakes, and session switching being refused during a call. Plus fixes from three security reviews and two new fuzzers that run Orbit against stand-ins for Grok and Claude.

You need Windows 10/11, the Claude desktop app, and an xAI API key. Voice is billed by xAI per minute while connected; the wake word costs nothing.

Install: download Orbit-Setup-1.2.0.exe below and run it. If you have 1.1.0, install this one over it by hand (1.1.0 can't update itself); after that, Orbit keeps itself up to date. The installer isn't code-signed yet, so on the SmartScreen prompt click More info → Run anyway. You can verify it with the .sha256 file.

See SECURITY.md for how Orbit protects your sessions, key and microphone.
