Does it work with ChatGPT?
Not through the ChatGPT app. Orbinty works with agents that run on your computer, so OpenAI models come in through Codex CLI. Claude Code today; Codex CLI, Gemini CLI and local models through Ollama in the launch scope.
Does Orbinty secure what my agent is already connected to?
No, and we will not pretend otherwise. Orbinty locks the leg between your computer and your phone. If you already gave an agent a drive, a repository, a database or an API key, that connection is yours to set up and yours to secure. What Orbinty does is show you each time the agent reaches for one, and let you refuse. Anything that writes, runs or reaches an outside service stops for your approval first.
Do you ever see my API keys?
No. Keys stay on the computer that runs the agent. The connector never sends them, and the relay could not read them if it did. Orbinty never resells inference. Your provider bills you as it does now.
What if I lose my phone?
The keys live on the phone and nowhere else, so nobody can hand them back, including us. On the computer you paired it to, run one command in the terminal: it unpairs the missing phone, so nobody can reach your computer through it, and prints a new code for the next phone. Your history need not go with the old phone. Orbinty can keep a copy of each satellite's context log on the computer and on the phone, on by default, and a new phone pulls that log back from the computer once it is paired. The relay itself keeps nothing past a week.
Which agents get full control?
Claude Code and local models through Ollama: approvals, questions, Hold, Retask and Deorbit. Codex CLI and Gemini CLI: approvals and live status, without the mid-turn interrupt. Only Claude Code exists in the code today. The rest are in the launch scope.
Do the agents talk to each other?
Yes, in two ways, and you stay in the loop for both. Every satellite reads the same chat, so a reviewer you told to wait for two builders starts when it sees them deliver. When one satellite needs something from another mid-run, it asks in the chat, and the ask lands on your phone as a card: let the other satellite answer, or answer yourself. One tap forwards the question and brings the answer back. A second question is a second card, so nothing can loop and no agent can spend your money on its own. Agents cannot interrupt each other mid-run. Both are in the launch scope, not in the code today.
Is there a free plan?
No. Every tier has a 7-day free trial with a card up front, then $3.99, $9.99 or $24.99 a month. During the beta, 20 to 30 seats are free and never billed.
How fast does an approval get to me?
Measured on 6 September 2026 through the live relay on Cloudflare: one desk, 30 rounds. The clock runs from the moment the card is raised to the moment the signed answer is verified on the computer, so it includes the biometric approval process and the tap itself. With the phone unlocked and the app open, an approve took 1.6 seconds and a refuse 1.6 seconds (medians of 10 each). With the phone locked in a pocket and woken by the push, an approve took 6.4 seconds and a refuse 5.7 seconds (medians of 5 each), most of it waking and unlocking the phone. The first card of each set was slower, up to 28 seconds, while the app and the push service woke up. That is one founder's test, not a benchmark. The target is under 30 seconds at the 95th percentile.
