November 2026
Orylo 0.1.12
More reliable access verification
This update strengthens access verification and limits offline authorization to 24 hours. Connect to the internet once after updating to refresh your access.
Improvements
Offline authorization now lasts up to 24 hours, while keeping access available when you reopen Orylo during the same Mac session.
Fixes
Prevent outdated access from remaining valid after the system clock is moved backward. Restarting your Mac or losing trusted verification data now requires an online access refresh.
Orylo 0.1.11
Agent modes and connected conversations
Choose DeepSeek Harness agent modes, bring conversation references into Team Chat, and navigate workspace files with line-level previews. Scheduled tasks are now organized as Automations on Mac and Remote Web.
New features
Choose installed DeepSeek Harness agent presets for new conversations and use Plan mode where supported.
Drag conversation and team references into Team Chat or a thread, keeping shared context attached to the intended message.
Open workspace search results at the matching line, with line-numbered source previews and syntax highlighting.
Improvements
Scheduled tasks are now organized as Automations across Mac and Remote Web.
Continue a conversation with another Assistant using a transcript excerpt and a local full-history snapshot, without generating a handoff summary.
Drop files or selected text across the composer, and drag files from the workspace browser and change review.
Refined Assistant and Team icons, attachment details, and conversation controls.
Fixes
Preserve the existing draft when inserting dropped text, and keep native text drops undoable.
Open archived conversations reliably from a secondary conversation pane.
Keep DeepSeek Harness preset settings consistent when resuming conversations and switching supported modes.
Hide the unfinished built-in on-device Assistant in release builds.
Orylo 0.1.10
Team Chat and Orbit
Collaborate in a redesigned Team Chat with threads, editable messages, shared announcements, and routines. Meet Orbit, a desktop companion that reflects your agents' activity, and connect more agents with improved conversation isolation.
New features
Team Chat brings member mentions, threaded replies, message links, search, and attachment previews together on Mac and Remote Web.
Edit your Team Chat messages and add a shared team announcement to guide collaboration.
Create teams in Free mode so members can collaborate as peers without a coordinator.
Schedule routines for a team member and optionally post their results to Team Chat.
Meet Orbit, a movable desktop pet that reflects agent activity and permission requests, with size and color choices.
Connect the fx agent with provider and model selection and access to its configured MCP servers.
Answer supported agent forms directly in Orylo, including multiple selections on Mac; compatible forms are also available through Remote Web.
Improvements
Team Chat shows live member activity, clearer task cards, grouped join announcements, and direct access to members, routines, and tasks.
Conversation, team, message, file, and skill references use inline capsules with previews and more consistent copying and pasting across Mac and Remote Web.
Refined settings, agent details, composers, and conversation layouts with more consistent typography and controls.
Computer Use has a refreshed glass cursor theme, icon, and observation indicator.
Updated the bundled Pi integration while continuing to use your installed Pi command.
Fixes
Keep fx and Stakpak conversations on separate agent connections so switching or closing one session does not disrupt another.
Correct Grok context usage reporting so conversation context occupancy is distinct from token consumption.
Keep Team Chat navigation from replacing the assistant and workspace selected for a new conversation draft.
Preserve reference identities and attachments when copying messages, and prevent delayed paste results from landing in text edited while a reference was loading.
Selecting a folder in the workspace browser now selects that folder as well as expanding it.
Preserve the open Team Chat when initializing a conversation pane workspace.

Orylo 0.1.9
Observe changes and search your workspace
This update adds Computer Use observation tasks and workspace search, refines native menus, and simplifies MCP discovery. It also removes the built-in Memory feature.
New features
Computer Use can watch selected apps and browser tabs for changes and continue the conversation when relevant changes are detected. View active observation tasks, open their targets, and stop them from the composer.
Search workspace filenames or file contents from the conversation inspector, with case-sensitive, whole-word, and regular-expression options.
Improvements
Arrange more than three conversation columns when the window has enough room.
Browse additional MCP marketplaces from a single Other marketplaces section, with direct links and guidance for importing server configurations.
Show the Orylo logo in the bundled Remote Web sidebar and welcome screen.
Remove the built-in Memory library, its settings, and assistant tools.
Send captured text, files, clipboard content, and screenshots to a new conversation draft in Notch or the floating Composer, without opening the conversation window.
Show clear validation messages when MCP service names would produce conflicting or unsupported tool names.
Fixes
Keep selection menus anchored to their controls across assistant, workspace, team, skill, MCP, and settings views.
Display Codex MCP tool results when their content is supplied inside the tool response.
Prevent cleanup from a completed turn from clearing MCP state belonging to a newer turn.
Keep inactive sidebar lists from taking focus or handling input when switching sidebar views.
Save skill updates in the managed skill library so updated skills remain available.
Orylo 0.1.6
Computer Use, app connections, and a refreshed Remote Web
Let your assistants work with Mac apps and Chrome through built-in Computer Use, connect external services from the app directory, and use a refreshed Remote Web interface. This release also refines window appearance, conversation handoffs, and permission handling.
New features
Built-in Computer Use lets assigned assistants observe and interact with Mac apps and Chrome after your approval, without a separate Node or Bun installation.
Preview active Computer Use targets from the composer, switch between previews, and end control of an individual app or browser tab.
Discover app connection presets in MCP Servers, connect supported services with OAuth or API credentials, and manage their tools and assistant assignments in one library.
Add DeepSeek Search for web search and page fetching, alongside built-in connections for Cognee and Browser Use Cloud.
Improvements
Remote Web has refreshed pairing, navigation, conversation, composer, workspace, and scheduled-task views, with consistent menus and layouts for desktop and mobile screens.
Choose solid or glass window backgrounds and adjust the glass background fill without fading text and controls.
Additional light and dark companion palettes keep more themes consistent when switching appearance modes.
Conversation handoffs can process longer histories and large messages, reuse a matching previous summary, and preserve the order of later corrections.
Computer Use permission cards identify the target app clearly, while previews provide a direct way to return to the controlled app or browser tab.
Working status text has a subtle animated highlight when Reduce Motion is off.
Skills and MCP settings remove the separate chat-assistant entry for a simpler management interface.
Fixes
Remote Web permission requests now appear and disappear as their state changes, and supported MCP questions can be answered remotely.
Mobile Remote Web keeps the last message clear of the composer and preserves the scroll position when the input area changes height.
Remote Web images stay within the viewport, attachment sizes display consistently, and workspace menus remain accessible in narrow layouts.
The change-review range menu shows each option once, with a single selection indicator and consistent alignment.
Channel replies retry definite temporary rejections without blindly resending messages whose delivery outcome is uncertain, and pending reply batches continue draining.
Orylo 0.1.4
More reliable editing and Actions
This update improves undo and redo in the message composer, keeps Action Bar labels steady, and better protects your clipboard when replacing selected text.
Improvements
Undo and redo follow natural editing steps: continuous typing stays together, while pasting, formatting, inserting references, and accepting a suggestion can be undone separately. Input-method compositions stay intact.
Next-message suggestions favor brief, direct requests, choices, and confirmations when they fit the conversation.
Fixes
Undo and redo now work through the Edit menu and keyboard shortcuts in the focused composer, with separate editing history for each editor.
Fixed placeholder text flickering or overlapping when expanding and collapsing the Action Bar.
Replacing selected text now restores the previous clipboard only if it has not changed, preserving anything you copy while an Action is finishing.
Orylo 0.1.3
Refined Actions and more reliable conversations
A more compact Action Bar, easier navigation between conversation panes, and stronger protection for saved conversations. Next-message suggestions now support longer, more natural replies.
New features
Use the arrow keys to move between neighboring conversation panes when you are not editing text.
Improvements
A narrower Action Bar shows up to five quick-action icons, with action names revealed on hover or keyboard focus. Management commands remain in the expanded list.
Next-message suggestions support up to 160 characters, including natural questions and follow-up instructions, with more time for slower assistants to respond.
Suggestions can finish while the window is in the background and appear when you return, without starting another request.
Conversation and attachment storage is organized by date, and saved Actions are isolated so a damaged entry does not prevent other Actions from loading.
Fixes
Saved conversations are no longer hidden by an inconsistent history index, and an unloaded conversation cannot overwrite its saved messages when the app closes.
A temporarily missing history file no longer clears the conversation's session information.
Conversation layout and unrelated settings changes no longer unnecessarily refresh the Notch window or conversation views.
Text attachment previews close consistently when scrolling or resizing a conversation.
Repeated left and right arrow presses while editing no longer unexpectedly open or close the sidebar.
Action Bar shortcut hints now reflect the configured Actions shortcut.
Orylo 0.1.2
Next steps, smoother interactions
Get optional suggestions for what to ask next, more reliable text selection, and clearer account and privacy controls.
New features
Optional next-prompt suggestions in Orylo Intelligence, with Tab to accept on Mac and suggestions in Remote Web.
Website refund requests with a reason, review status, and an administrator approval-and-refund workflow.
Improvements
Accessibility prompts are shared across capture and Actions, requested at most once per app launch.
Action Bar keeps the source app icon even when Accessibility access is unavailable.
Simplified Local-first settings with a direct Privacy Policy link and a black MCP Servers icon.
Faster response preferences for supported assistants used by optional Intelligence features, without changing chat settings.
Redesigned download, account, refund, and administration pages.
A lighter website with improved asset caching, cleaned-up styles, and fewer unused resources.
Expanded multilingual guides and a changelog with date navigation and categorized release notes.
Fixes
Text-selection Actions resume after granting Accessibility access without restarting Orylo.
Improved keyboard focus handling when switching conversation panes and opening the composer.
Refunded subscriptions no longer leave misleading paid-access dates or block monthly and yearly repurchases.
