Notes
- Unsigned builds — macOS may show “cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified.” Right-click → Open (or allow in System Settings → Privacy & Security). Windows SmartScreen may warn similarly; choose “More info” → Run anyway.
- On first launch, Orb downloads search engine binaries and sets up local data under Application Support /
%APPDATA%\Orb/ Linux equivalent. - Models (GGUF, etc.) are not bundled — configure paths in the setup wizard.
