Orbit v1.0.0 — Release Notes

The first public release of Orbit. A local-first developer command center
for managing projects, tools and workflows — no server, no account, no
telemetry.

Highlights

🗂 Project management

  • Point Orbit at any folder and it detects every Rust, TypeScript/JavaScript,
    Python, Go and Docker
    project inside, with the right commands, frameworks
    and dependency counts.
  • Add, pin and organise projects on a dashboard that remembers what you opened
    last.
  • Human-editable .project-orbit profiles let you pin a project's name and the
    exact commands Orbit should run.

⌘ Command center

  • A Cmd/Ctrl + K command palette to jump to any project, run dev/build/
    test, open a terminal, or scan a folder — without leaving the keyboard.
  • Native application menu and a system tray with quick access.

▶️ Run & inspect

  • One-click running of a project's commands, with captured output.
  • Git at a glance: branch, cleanliness, ahead/behind and last commit.
  • Project health: a 0–100 score with concrete warnings (oversized files,
    TODOs, heavy artifacts, missing tests).
  • Dependency manager: the declared dependencies of every ecosystem, read
    offline from manifests.
  • Developer analytics: local, private time-per-language and build-time
    tracking that never leaves your machine.

🛰 Ecosystem integrations

Previews for the sibling tools Blink (acceleration), Killer (security),
Flux (automation) and Beacon (APIs).

🔒 Safety & privacy

  • No network on hot paths. Analytics stay local.
  • A dangerous-command guard flags destructive commands (rm -rf, dd,
    mkfs, fork bombs, curl | sh, …) and requires explicit confirmation before
    running them.
  • Restrictive Content-Security-Policy and a minimal Tauri capability set.
    orbit-core forbids unsafe code.

⌨️ CLI companion

The same engine as a terminal binary: orbit scan | info | health | deps | git | commands | run | init, all with --json.

🔄 Auto-update

The desktop app can check for, download and install updates from GitHub
Releases, with signed update artifacts.

Downloads

Platform Files
macOS (Apple Silicon & Intel) .dmg
Windows .msi, .exe
Linux .AppImage, .deb

Install

See docs/installation.md. Everything runs locally; no
account or connection required.

Breaking changes

None — this is the first release.

Migration notes

None.

Known limitations

  • Ecosystem integrations (Blink/Killer/Flux/Beacon) ship as clearly-labelled
    previews; connecting the real engines is on the roadmap.
  • Dependency "update available" hints are planned for a follow-up release.

Thanks

Built for developers who want their tools to stay on their machine. ✦
