Orrery v0.1.0
Orrery puts every git repo in your dev directories into orbit — a dark, dense "mission control" grid with live git status, one-click launch into your IDE or a terminal coding agent, multi-host enrichment, and on-device AI summaries.
This is the first release — early development, Linux-only, and built from source at this tag. Expect rough edges; please file issues.

What's in this build
- Mission Control — a virtualized grid of all your repos with filters for visibility (public/private/all), dirty/ahead/starred/stale, workspace root, and language; an activity graph; and a
⌘Kcommand palette. - One-click launchers — open in your IDE or drop a terminal agent into any repo, chosen from preset chips with real brand logos (VS Code, Cursor, Zed, the JetBrains family, … × Kitty/Alacritty/Ghostty/… × Claude Code/Aider/Codex/…).
- Repo drawer — branches, recent commits, a staged-diff view with AI commit messages and changelogs, and the README.
- Inbox / Feed / Explore — what needs you (PRs, reviews, issues, notifications), a release/social activity feed, and a browser for your starred repos with one-click clone.
- Local AI — repo summaries, commit messages, a daily briefing, and semantic search, all on-device via Ollama. Entirely optional — turn it off and every AI affordance disappears from the UI.
- Native desktop integration — borrows the system theme, accent colour, and window decorations; full-colour language logos; offline-first SQLite cache that paints instantly on launch.

Notes
- WebKitGTK can be juddery on NVIDIA; Orrery ships a flat, GPU-light UI and disables the DMABUF renderer by default. See rendering performance.
