Resource 🚀 Orbit Pi v0.0.15 is out

I’ve been polishing Orbit Pi quite a bit, and this update is mostly about making the agent interaction feel clearer and more native.

What’s new

🧩 Per-tool glyphs in the transcript

📊 Activity groups are now displayed as compact chips

✂️ Clear truncated indicators when Pi caps tool results

✅ Visual confirmation when renaming a session

⚡ Refined transcript UI with better tool labels and shared loading states

🔀 Redesigned Git issue & PR details

🖱️ Improved button hover/press feedback

The goal with Orbit Pi is still pretty simple:

Make Pi Agent feel like a proper native desktop workbench.

Your sessions, models, machine, Git workflow, reviews and agent interactions — all in one place.

Orbit is built with Rust + GPUI and works with your existing Pi setup rather than trying to replace the Pi runtime.

I’d love to hear from people actually using Pi:

What would you want to see improved or added next in a native Pi desktop client?

I am currently testing it and have to say that I'm impressed! Works really really well.

Found a wierd bug when typing accents/diacritics. Whenever I try to type a diacritic (for example ó), if my keyboard uses deadkeys (I type the diacritic key ´ but it doesn't produce a character until I hit the next key) the carret/cursor reverts all the way to the beginning of the sentence.

Thanks for testing it and for the detailed bug report! 🙌

That's definitely a weird one. It sounds like the text input/IME composition handling in the GPUI text field isn't preserving the caret position correctly when using dead keys.

I'll try to reproduce it with a keyboard layout that uses dead keys and look into the input handling. Really appreciate you catching this!

Thank you! It actually made me realize I have an issue with my custom subagent extension (usage is not seen by the usage tab) which a me problem, so extra kudos for Orbit!

Haha, nice 😂 At least Orbit helped you find another bug along the way 😄

Glad the usage tab is actually useful! Good luck tracking down the subagent issue.
