The screen-aware assistant that lives on your Mac.
Hold a shortcut, say what you need. Orbit sees your screen, guides you through any app, and acts on your behalf — with on-device voice out of the box. No account, no API key, nothing to configure.
Speech runs on your Mac by default. No account or API key needed — or bring your own OpenAI key for cloud voice.
Orbit keeps a single session with automatic context management, so nothing gets lost between requests.
A global kill-switch. Esc halts whatever Orbit is doing, instantly, from anywhere.
Controls
One session for voice and actions.
Waiting for input
Press shortcut or speak to start
New in 1.1
Glass, voice, and a longer memory.
Orbit 1.1 rebuilds the surface in liquid glass, makes voice local-first, and keeps one continuous session running underneath.
Liquid-glass design
Panel, HUD, and onboarding redrawn in a single translucent glass language — depth and light instead of chrome.
Local-first voice
On-device speech recognition and speech out of the box. No account, no API key, no audio leaving your Mac.
Bring your own key
Prefer OpenAI voices? Add your own API key for cloud transcription and TTS. It lives in the macOS Keychain.
Guided onboarding
Permissions are requested one at a time, with live status and a plain explanation of why each one exists.
One continuous session
A single session with automatic context management — Orbit remembers the thread without you managing it.
Esc stops everything
A global kill-switch plus a turn watchdog and session recovery, so a stuck task never holds your Mac hostage.
What you can do
It sees your screen. It takes control of your cursor.
Orbit is not another chatbot. It moves your mouse, clicks buttons, types text, browses the web, and creates real files — all while you watch.
It clicks buttons for you
Orbit moves your cursor, clicks controls, and types text — right on your desktop. You speak, it acts. Watch it navigate menus, press buttons, and fill fields while you sit back.
- Moves your cursor and clicks any button on screen
- Types text and fills forms in any app
- Presses keyboard shortcuts on your behalf
It browses the web for you
Tell Orbit to research something, compare prices, fill out a form, or complete a checkout. It opens tabs, navigates pages, clicks links, and types — all in your real browser.
- Opens pages, clicks links, fills forms automatically
- Researches and compares across multiple sites
- Completes multi-step web tasks end to end
It creates files and documents
Say 'make me a presentation about Q2' or 'draft a project proposal.' Orbit creates documents, slide decks, spreadsheets, and structured files — real outputs, not chat replies.
- Creates presentations, documents, and spreadsheets
- Works with PDFs and structured files
- Generates polished outputs from a voice prompt
It teaches you any app on screen
Don't know where a button is? Ask. Orbit reads your screen, understands the interface, and points directly to what you need — in any app, any window, any layout.
- Points to buttons and controls in context
- Explains unfamiliar interfaces step by step
- Works with any app visible on your screen
It manages your computer
Open apps, organize files, adjust settings, navigate admin panels. Orbit can interact with your Mac like a knowledgeable assistant sitting next to you.
- Opens and switches between apps on your behalf
- Navigates settings, preferences, and system panels
- Helps organize files and manage workflows
Compatibility
Works with the software you already use
Orbit reads your screen — so it works with anything visible on your Mac. No plugins, no integrations, no setup.
How it works
Three steps. No setup headaches.

Privacy promise
Screen captures
Transient and intentional only
Voice, by default
On-device speech — audio never leaves your Mac
Your own key, if you want
Optional OpenAI key for cloud voice
Keys and config
Stored in macOS Keychain, never plain text
Trust has to be architectural.
Orbit does not quietly record your desktop. It captures exactly when you ask it to, uses that image for the active turn, and keeps the rest of the app lightweight, inspectable, and grounded in user intent.
Independent launch
