Release v1.4.243 · stablyai/orca

Chrome extensions in Orca’s browser, iPhone Duo support, and Convert a terminal agent session live into a chat ui 🧩

This release brings Chrome extensions to Orca’s browser under experimental, lets a conversation continue in Chat once you quit its agent in the terminal, and shows your local worktrees sooner after a restart. It also adds support for the folding iPhone Duo, compact native-style menus, light and dark themes on the phone, and fixes for Windows terminals, SSH hosts and updates.

The short version

Chrome extensions (experimental): Add extensions from the Chrome Web Store with Add to Orca, so password managers like Bitwarden and 1Password can fill logins in Orca’s browser. Off by default.
Convert a terminal agent session live into a chat ui: Once you quit Claude or Codex in a terminal, the same conversation can continue in Chat while the terminal tab stays open. Claude chats also keep their saved approval choice across model changes, and closing a chat that’s still working asks first.
Worktrees sooner after a restart: Local worktrees load before terminals restore, and the sidebar says discovery is still running instead of showing an empty list.
Steadier terminals: Windows terminals keep their history through width changes, slept terminals wake in the folder you left, macOS’s built-in bash keeps command tracking in order after a DEBUG trap change, and copying from pi on a remote host reaches your clipboard.
Orchestration: Choose the worker heartbeat interval or turn heartbeats off, and reduce CPU use by stopping settled workers from polling for commands.
Polish where it counts: Compact native-style menus, VS Code–style Markdown highlighting with sticky headings, and update checks through your Settings proxy.
Fixes from the community: Quit and Stop All Sessions, math in chats, Copy Remote URL with line ranges, IME highlighting in terminals, fnm on Windows, and Japanese and Chinese translations all work better.

Phone & web updates: Phones get light and dark themes, support for the folding iPhone Duo, PDFs in Quick Look and copy buttons in chats. Many phone screens now follow desktop’s rules for chats, Source Control and terminals, and typing and scrolling in long chats stay fast.

Compatibility & upgrade notes

Fresh terminal host: New terminals start on a fresh terminal host so this release’s terminal fixes apply, including continuing a chat after its terminal agent exits. Terminals already open before you update keep running, and stay attached, on the previous host until you close them.
Browser extensions (experimental): Turn on Settings → Experimental → Browser extensions, restart, then open the Chrome Web Store in an Orca browser tab. Extensions run in local browser profiles only. Ad blockers install but don’t block yet, and some extensions, such as Tampermonkey, don’t work.
Worker heartbeats: Heartbeats stay on every 5 minutes by default. Changes in Settings → Agent Orchestration apply to newly dispatched workers; workers already running keep their brief, and older hosts keep 5 minutes.
Claude subagent navigation: The eye that marked the subagent you’re viewing is gone. The viewed subagent row uses the normal current-row highlight.
