Orbit 0.5.0

Self-hosted Runner and isolated agent project workspaces.

Self-hosted Runner

Run agent tasks on your own machine or server with a self-hosted @orbit/runner daemon. Orbit Editor stays the control UI — create tasks, stream live events, approve permissions, cancel, and reconnect. The runner owns the full agent loop (model calls and tools). Keys stay on the runner.

In the chat composer, pick Local or Self-hosted Runner. Local remains the default.

  • Pair a runner from Settings → Self-hosted Runners with a one-time code and WebSocket URL
  • Sync Chat BYOK providers to the runner (keys never leave the runner)
  • Same composer for remote execution against a GitHub/GitLab HTTPS remote
  • Live streaming, approvals, cancel, and reconnect with sequenced replay
  • Handoff actions: Open PR, Checkout locally, Apply locally
  • Protocol: orbit-runner-protocol/1 — see docs/self-hosted-runner.md

Agent project workspaces

Agent windows keep project context isolated per workspace — dedicated folders, picker, and scoped terminals/tools/history so parallel agent work does not collide.

Downloads

  • Orbit-0.5.0-darwin-arm64.dmg — Apple Silicon
  • Orbit-0.5.0-darwin-x64.dmg — Intel

Auto-update

update/latest.json is Ed25519-signed. In-app updates work for installs of this 0.5.0 build going forward.

If you are on 0.4.x, install 0.5.0 once manually (signing key was rotated so older builds cannot verify the new manifest), then later updates install in-app.

macOS install

Recommended (no Gatekeeper warning):

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ashish200729/orbiteditor/main/install.sh | bash

Or download the .dmg, drag Orbit to Applications, then:

xattr -cr /Applications/Orbit.app
