v0.8.0

What's new in v0.8.0

Orbit is now available for macOS — a native build, running on both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs from a single universal download. This is the first macOS release, so treat it as early: tracking accuracy, permissions handling, and icon/name resolution haven't been battle-tested the way the Windows build has. Bug reports welcome.

On first launch, macOS will ask for Accessibility permission (required) and Screen Recording permission (optional — only needed if you want window titles, not just app names). Orbit explains what each one is for before the system prompt appears.

Windows improvements:

Hide an app directly from the Apps page — no more needing to go into Settings first.
Process merging now has its own dedicated page, split out of Settings for a cleaner, less cluttered Settings screen.
Installation

Windows: Download Orbit_0.8.0_x64-setup.exe and run it. SmartScreen may warn about an unrecognized publisher — click More info → Run anyway.

macOS: Download Orbit_0.8.0_universal.dmg, open it, and drag Orbit into Applications. Since this build isn't notarized by Apple, macOS will initially refuse to open it — right-click the app and choose Open (instead of double-clicking) to bypass this the first time. Full step-by-step instructions, including a Terminal fallback if needed, are in the README.
