Answer the request.
A live view of your sessions, with waiting agents first. Approve a request or choose an answer from the pad, for supported agents.
Allow needs a hold. Typed answers and unsupported requests stay on your computer. See what your agent supports.
Spot the requests
Waiting sessions come first, followed by working sessions and recent finishes. Labels and your agent’s alarm colour show what needs you.
Open the right session
Tap the hub to open the first waiting session. Hold it to see your sessions on your computer. Supported agents can also take approvals and answers from the keypad.
Agent states
Every state has a name.
The label tells you the state. Motion and your agent’s alarm colour help you spot requests, so colour is never the only signal.
Approval
Waiting for your approval.
Question
Waiting for your answer.
Error
An API or tool error stopped the turn.
Tool
Running a tool; its name and command appear on the key.
Writing
Writing text; supported agents show the latest words.
Thinking
Working on the next step.
Compacting
Summarising a long context.
Done
Finished, and you have not looked yet.
Idle
Open and waiting for a prompt.
Offline
The session ended or stopped reporting.
These views come from Orbtile’s keypad renderer. See the guide for the full state legend and motion settings.
How it works
Set up once. Keep your agents in view.
Orbtile Mobile for iPhone and Android
Orbtile Mobile turns an iPhone (App Store, iOS 17+) or an Android phone into the status pad for your coding agents, next to Orbtile on your Mac or Windows PC.
- On iPhone, get Orbtile Mobile on the App Store. On Android, join the Orbtile Mobile beta on Google Play from the download page.
- Install Orbtile Mobile from the App Store or Google Play.
- Open Orbtile Mobile and sign in with the same account as your Mac or PC.
- In Orbtile on your computer, turn on Settings > Keypad > Phone pad.
Logitech MX Creative Keypad
Both interfaces are shown at the top of this page.
01
Install and take over the keypad
Connect Claude Code, Codex, ZCode, Antigravity or Kimi Code. Use the pad on your computer screen, an iPhone (App Store, iOS 17+), an Android phone or the Logitech MX Creative Keypad. Open Orbtile from Applications and take over the keypad from the menu bar, or open it from the Start menu on Windows. Connect your agents in Settings > Agents on a Mac, or with each agent’s Install button on Windows. Local hooks use a private socket on your Mac, or a private pipe on your PC that only your Windows account can use; some agents use local session files. Each integration can be turned off or removed. Logi Options+ stays installed if you have it, but is not required. Read what gets installed and read.
02
Every session gets a key
Each session shows its name and state. Waiting sessions come first; supported agents also show the latest text. See which agents provide live text.
03
The one that needs you glows
Labels and your agent’s alarm colour draw attention to a request. Tap a key to open its session where supported.
Allow or deny from the keys and pick answers to multiple-choice questions, for agents that support it. Allow needs a hold. The question stays on screen too. See what each agent supports.

Orbtile Mobile works on iPhone (App Store, iOS 17+) and Android, and the Logitech MX Creative Keypad is supported today. Connect your own agent through an adapter.
Or try Orbtile now on your computer screen, iPhone or Android phone.
Adapters
Bring your own agent.
An adapter brings the sessions of any agent, script or tool to the keypad and the Orbtile panel, next to the agents Orbtile supports out of the box.
- Your icon, your colours. Use an installed app's icon or a small PNG, and pick a colour for each state. Error always stays red.
- Answers only if you want them. An adapter gets taps, approvals and questions only if it asks for them and you allow it.
- Local, and only with your OK. Turn on Adapter API in Settings, then allow each adapter. The API listens only on your Mac or Windows PC, never on the network.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Does Orbtile replace Logi Options+?
No. Orbtile doesn’t need Options+; it drives the keypad over USB by itself. If Options+ is installed, it stays installed and keeps updating; Orbtile never modifies it. Switch between Orbtile and Options+ at any time from the menu bar on a Mac or the tray on Windows, or hold both page buttons on the keypad for 1.5 seconds. When you quit Orbtile, the keypad goes back to Options+.
Does Orbtile change my agent apps?
It adds optional plugins or hooks for supported agents. Review each integration before enabling it. Session files and task databases are read for display; databases are opened read-only. Turn agents off or remove their integrations in Settings. Remote hooks are installed only on SSH hosts you choose. See the files, reads and removal steps.
Which AI agents are supported?
The supported agents can share the keypad, with a colour you choose for each. Supported approvals and questions can be answered on the keypad. See the integration guide for support details, or connect another agent through the Adapter API.
Can I answer questions from the keypad?
For supported agents, pick numbered options, including multiple choices when allowed, then hold Send for 0.6 seconds. The question stays on screen. Support varies by agent; typed answers are entered on screen. See the key map and gestures.
What do the orbs on the keys show?
The Frosted orb on each session key shows what that session is doing. Its motion follows the kind of tool in use.
Which keypads are supported?
The Logitech MX Creative Keypad (its nine LCD keys and the two page buttons). Other devices come when enough owners ask: request yours.
Does Orbtile send data?
Orbtile checks a signed status file at orbtile.com and sends a small usage summary at most hourly while it runs, only when it changed: counts and minutes (app starts, sessions per agent, AI model names, features used) under a pseudonymous machine ID. You can turn it off in Settings, General, Privacy, Send usage summary. The server keeps daily totals and changes by UTC hour of report receipt per pseudonymous computer. Automatic reports never send prompts, transcripts, file paths or names. Chosen remote hosts send display events over SSH. Local agent events travel over a private Unix-domain socket that only your user account can open, and stay on your Mac; on Windows they use a private named pipe that only your Windows account can open, and stay on your PC. Feedback messages contain what you type and are stored as submitted; please leave out secrets, personal information and private task text. Each computer gets a 15-day trial, and the keypad needs no account. Signing in is used only for encrypted settings sync and Orbtile Mobile, which signs in with the same account as your Mac or PC. Read the privacy notice for details.
Is the app notarised or signed?
Yes. On the Mac, Orbtile is signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarised by Apple: drag it to Applications, open it, and click Open when macOS asks about an app downloaded from the internet.
On Windows, get Orbtile from the Microsoft Store or download the installer. See the download page for install steps and checksums.
What does it cost?
Each computer gets a 15-day trial; then a licence keeps Orbtile running: pay what you want from EUR 19 for up to 3 computers, Mac or Windows, or from EUR 39 for the Founder licence, first 1000 only. Licences are on sale now. Read the pricing details.
Do I need an account?
Not for the Logitech MX Creative Keypad: it works without one. Orbtile Mobile needs one: sign in with Google or email, with the same account on your Mac or PC and your phone. Sign in on your computer also for encrypted settings sync. The keypad needs no account: a licence key is enough.
What do I need?
An Apple silicon Mac (macOS 14 Sonoma or later) or a Windows 11 PC (x64), a supported agent, plus an iPhone (App Store, iOS 17+), an Android phone (Android 8.0+) with Orbtile Mobile or a Logitech MX Creative Keypad.
My sessions were already running. Do I have to restart them?
Existing sessions can appear from local files. If your agent loads hooks only at launch, restart its sessions after installing or updating the integration. See the setup guide for your agent.
