Questions · 05

Before you try it.

Can I download Orbit?

Not yet. Orbit has a local release candidate. Signing, notarization and public distribution checks remain open, so this page does not offer a public installer.

Which tools work?

Provider support is still being tested. Check availability before relying on an integration.

What permissions does it need?

Permissions depend on the features you enable, including terminal automation for enabled workflows.

What is the license?

Orbit is a modified Open Island fork under GPL-3.0, with upstream and asset attribution retained.

Are updates automatic?

The update system still needs a populated feed and signing configuration. The candidate makes no automatic-update promise.

Stay close to the work.
