Orbit v1.0.0
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-orbitprofiles let you pin a project's name and the
exact commands Orbit should run.
⌘ Command center
- A
Cmd/Ctrl + Kcommand palette to jump to any project, rundev/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.

⌨️ 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. ✦
