Orchestrator 0.1.0-alpha.2 - historical distribution
Pre-release
Historical alpha distribution, retained with its original assets and tag. The current complete distribution is alpha 3.
Use alpha 3 for current desktop and signed Android downloads. Follow its upgrade instructions: back up the stopped gateway workspace, retain the same data path/key, and install the signed APK in place without uninstalling or clearing data.
Original release title: Orchestrator alpha 2: easy desktop setup and more knowledge sources
Orchestrator alpha 2 makes desktop setup easier and adds Obsidian, selected Notion pages and manual Grok Bot handoffs.
Install on your computer
Download and fully extract the archive for your computer. Node, npm, Git and Docker are not required.

Your browser opens to http://127.0.0.1:4400. Create your workspace and passphrase, then open Connections. Start with a folder of notes or an Obsidian vault; no AI account is required for local search. Keep the launcher running while using the portal.
These are unsigned portable desktop downloads. Your OS may ask you to review them before opening. Workspace data lives outside the extracted program directory. See the desktop setup, diagnostics and upgrade guide.
Android testing
Install Orchestrator Android alpha 2. It is signed with the same alpha key as alpha 1, so it can update that installation. Android 8 or later and an updated System WebView are required.
Run the gateway on your computer and connect the phone using USB forwarding or private HTTPS/Tailscale. The computer must stay awake and reachable. Follow the Android setup guide. This is a direct testing APK, not a store submission.
New connections
- Local folders and Obsidian: read-only indexing, source references, nested notes and visible coverage limits. Original files are unchanged.
- Notion: a read-only internal connection for explicitly selected pages. Child pages must be selected separately. Revoked access removes cached content on refresh. Knowledge guide.
- Grok Bot: prepare and copy a task, import a returned JSON/text file, review its preview, and save it as a claimed report. Corrections are copied back into Grok Bot. Automated chat and runtime monitoring are not included. Handoff guide.
Validation and limits
66 application tests, 31 browser journeys (three intentional platform skips), 11 Android emulator journeys, and native desktop bundle checks on all six targets. Debug and signed Android release builds passed unit tests and lint; the actual signed APK passed native installation, session persistence and offline recovery. Desktop checks run with system Node/npm/Git unavailable and verify packaged licenses, file checksums, private setup, stable storage and safe process control.
Visual review covered desktop/phone layouts and the Android connection and report flows. Real Notion credentials were not used; validate a small authorized page set during first use. Physical-phone and broader nontechnical-user onboarding remain alpha acceptance work. Desktop signing/notarization, automatic updates and background services are not included.
The attached SHA256SUMS.txt covers every downloadable application archive and APK. The desktop bundles also contain a file manifest and dependency licenses. QA record · PR #8.
