Orbit
Early access
An AI assistant that lives on your computer.
Orbit works with your email, files, calendar, notes and tasks — using Claude, GPT, or private models that never leave your machine. It asks before it sends or changes anything.
Ask what you're looking at. Orbit shows you.
Press Ctrl Shift Space and ask “can you explain this to me?” Orbit takes a picture of the window you're in and walks you through it point by point — circling the number that matters, boxing the line that broke, underlining what to fill in — with a short note beside each. The first drawing appears in about two seconds. Ask a follow-up right there, or have it read aloud. And for “translate this” or “reply to that”, Orbit reads the window you're in and answers — no copying and pasting.
Consumer prices climbed 4.8% this year, mostly from energy and rent.
Orbit waits at the edge of your screen.
Drag the orb out of Orbit's window and it stays with you, tucked half past the edge of the screen and watching your pointer. Click it and the quick bar unfolds right out of the orb; click again and it folds back in. Reminders and finished automations appear as a short note beside it instead of piling up as notifications, and it steps aside while a video, game or presentation is full screen.
Can't decide? Let Orbit narrow it down.
Say you don't know what to cook, watch or buy. Orbit shows two options — you click the one you like better, and it puts your pick up against something new. Each round it learns a little more about your taste, then suggests the winner and a few things like it.
Private AI, one click away.
Browse 36 models that run entirely on your computer — grouped by what they're good at. Orbit checks your memory and graphics card and tells you which ones will run well before you install anything.
It makes the thing, not just the answer.
Ask for a chart, a page, a small app, a letter or a diagram and Orbit builds it beside the chat — with a preview right in the conversation, every version kept, and one click to save it as a PDF. Give it a spreadsheet and it works the numbers out with real code instead of guessing. Ask it to research something and it plans the searches, reads the best sources and writes a report that cites them.
Long chats, nothing lost.
As a chat grows, Orbit keeps the older parts as short notes that say what was asked, what was really done and where the result is — the file, the spreadsheet row, the artifact. Mention something from an hour ago and it looks back by itself.
It also remembers what you tell it about yourself. Save your CV once and every cover letter uses it — no more “could you send me your CV?”.
Everything about a project, in one orbit.
Give each thing you're working on its own project — a thesis, a move, a renovation. Its chats, tasks, files and what Orbit learns about it stay together, and every chat inside it knows all of that.
Ask in one chat about something from another and Orbit searches the project and tells you where the answer came from. Your projects circle the orb on the start screen: point at it to see their names, click a moon to jump in.
It can use your computer, too.
- Plan. You say “Note down milk, eggs and bread”. Orbit makes a short plan.
- See. It reads the screen and numbers every button and field it finds.
- Act. It moves the mouse and types — move yours to pause it any time.
- Check. It looks again to make sure the job is really done.
Calendar, tasks and inbox in one place.
See what's due, what's coming up and which emails need a reply. Ask for a day brief and Orbit suggests your priorities and an order for the day. Connect Notion or any iCal calendar.
Orbit for the whole office.
One computer hosts, everyone else joins. Every project becomes a channel where people talk, share files and keep tasks — and anyone can write @Orbit to bring it in. It knows the project's files, tasks and notes, and who in the office handles what.
Everything stays on the office's own computer. Pick a local model and not a word leaves the building.
The Harbour Hall has 14 March free.
🎉 2@ana can you confirm the budget before we book?
@Orbit what's the venue budget, and what's still open?
The venue budget is CHF 4,000 (it's in Launch budget.xlsx). Still open:
- Book the venue — Bob, by 28 Oct
- Confirm the photographer — Carla, Friday
And everything else you'd want
- Email
Triage, search and summarize Gmail, Outlook, iCloud or any IMAP inbox. Replies wait for your OK.
- Files & documents
Finds a document by its name or by what it says, and reads PDFs, Word, Excel and PowerPoint — only in folders you choose to share.
- Quick bar
Press Ctrl Shift Space anywhere for a floating mini chat — or to have Orbit explain your screen. ⌘ Shift Space on a Mac.
- Agents
Build specialists with their own instructions, tools and model — a writer, a coder, a planner.
- Automations
Reusable tasks with a form — cover letters, follow-ups, weekly reviews — on demand or on a schedule.
- Loops
Give Orbit a goal and it keeps working in rounds until it's done, telling you when it finishes.
- Skills
Teach Orbit new skills in the same format Claude uses, or install ones the community made.
- Creative Studio
Twelve apps for photos, vectors, video, slides and more — with Orbit beside each one, making the changes you ask for.
- A natural voice
Orbit reads replies and explanations aloud in a natural voice made right on your computer. Nothing you hear is sent anywhere.
- Learns as you go
Orbit picks up what you mention about yourself, keeps what helps next time — how you like answers, what you corrected — and offers to automate what you ask often.
- Ready in a minute
A short welcome sets you up: pick a free private model that suits your computer and Orbit installs it, or connect Claude. Skip anything and change it later.
- Keeps itself current
New versions arrive by themselves — one click to install. And if you ever want it gone, it uninstalls cleanly from Settings.
- Asks first
Sending an email or moving a file always shows you the full draft before anything happens.
- Research
Plans the searches, reads the best sources and writes a report with links to every claim.
- Connectors
Plug in any MCP server and Orbit uses its tools — asking first before anything that changes things.
- Works on your code
Searches and reads a project, proposes edits you approve, and runs the tests.
- Writing styles
Normal, Concise, Explanatory, Formal — or one Orbit learns from a few things you've written.
- Versions & sharing
Edit a message or retry and the earlier answers stay. Share a chat as text, a web page, a PDF or Markdown.
- Report a bug in one click
From an error, a 👎 or the menu. You see exactly what's sent, with your email, numbers and keys taken out first.
Your data stays yours.
Stored on your computer. Chats, notes, tasks and settings live in a folder on your machine — not on a server.
Fully offline if you want. Pick a local model in the Cookbook and nothing you ask ever leaves your computer.
Your keys, your accounts. Use your own Claude or OpenAI key, or none at all. Delete them any time.
No account needed. Orbit runs on your computer — there's nothing to sign up for and no Orbit server in between.
