The question, in plain sight.
When an agent stops to ask, your desktop says so: which task, how many agents, how many helpers.

WORKING WITH AI, EVERY DAY
Three agents running.
Which one is waiting on you?
With coding agents, the work happens in terminals you can’t see. They finish, stall on a question or wait for approval while you’re somewhere else. Orbit puts all of it on your desktop, so nothing sits idle.
Never miss a question.
The agent that needs you shows up in the bar, on the desktop, in the Studio and as a count on your lock screen.
Back in one keystroke.
Super + Ctrl + Alt + A jumps to the next agent that needs you. Add Shift for the one that has waited longest.
See where your day went.
A local logbook shows work and wait time across your day and week. A welcome-back card catches you up after a break.
01 / THE AGENT STUDIO
Your crew.
A room of their own.
A lamp-lit loft where each robot reflects a real coding agent. Watch the team work, spot a question or approval, and open the right task with a click.
Working Needs you Reply ready
Local status. Your prompts and code stay on your computer.
Jump straight to whoever needs youA lead. A crew. One view.
Subagents gather with their lead. Expand the crew to follow each task, or give one agent the big desk to keep it in the front seat.
Go where you’re needed.
Click a robot to return to its terminal. One shortcut jumps to the next agent needing attention; add Shift for the longest wait.
Pick up where you left off.
A welcome-back card brings waiting agents into view after a break. The local logbook shows work and wait time across your day and week.

Same desktop.
Entirely your taste.
Start with one of six looks. Find your accent, your material, your amount of motion. Save the whole combination as your own theme.
WhitehavenLeviathanWildwoodNorthstarNightwatchHeadwaters
Try a little change.
Or a whole new atmosphere.
Pearl, Brass, Celadon or Glacier. Glass, liquid glass, solid or mica. Wallpaper-matched accents and window surfaces that feel like they belong.
Preview a change, then Keep or Undo. Your previous look stays recoverable after closing settings or restarting Orbit.
6 built-in themes4 bar styles3 motion presets
Find room for everything.
Horizon, Cove or Whisper on the desktop. A side panel when your windows are open.
03 / KEEP THE MUSIC ON
Good work.
Better background music.
A turning record, a wash of light, or the player you already love. Your soundtrack has a place beside the work.
01 / VINYLPut a record on.
Put a record on.
Stay a while.
Album art becomes a turning record. Playback controls and a seekable progress ring bring a familiar ritual to your desktop.
Follow a loaded Spotify track from your desktop or the Studio. Shown with sample track metadata.
Your record. Your rhythm.
Vinyl and Aurora follow Spotify. Seek from the player, use keyboard controls, or keep a compact music view in the bar.
The actual player, at home.
Dock Spotify’s mini player, including video podcasts, or your browser’s picture-in-picture video. Playback stays in the source app.
A little quiet is good, too.
Hide music independently on each workspace. Reduce motion keeps artwork still; Low power quiets the ambient effects.
04 / THE ART OF ARRIVING
A small escape.
Every time you return.
Eleven wallpapers, 5120 pixels wide, framed for laptops, 4K and ultrawide. An optional 6.5-second arrival brings the scene briefly to life, then lets it rest.
A moment of atmosphere.
Clouds, fog, water or wildlife move with a short synced sound on login, unlock and wallpaper changes. No endless loop.
Even when you step away.
Rain runs down your wallpaper, fully offline. A quiet count tells you if agents need you, without showing their task titles.
THE LITTLE THINGS, CONSIDERED
A desktop that feels complete.
Your day, in a little card.
The daily recap gathers finished tasks, agents and music time. Save a picture if you like. The record stays on your computer.
Weather when you want it.
An optional weather chip, a calendar with week numbers, and sunrise and sunset for your chosen city.
A softer kind of alert.
Optional notes for waiting agents, finished work and everyday moments. Sounds start off, with controls for each family.
Still your terminal.
Orbit coordinates surfaces in Ghostty and foot. Your font, prompt and terminal colors remain yours.
Small, useful notices.
Screenshot and recording toasts put Copy, Open and Show in folder within reach, then get out of your way.
Motion on your terms.
Calm, Balanced or Showpiece. Reduce motion, Low power, and ambient effects that rest on battery.

Product news, previews and release announcements from @nivekCode on X.
Requires Omarchy 4 · x86-64 or ARM
Personal customization allowed. No redistribution.
What do I need to run Orbit?
An existing Omarchy 4 installation on x86-64 or aarch64 (ARM), Python 3, and GTK 4 with PyGObject for the installer and manager. Live wallpapers work with the included frame playback; Qt Multimedia is optional for smoother playback. Orbit does not install Omarchy and does not run on Windows or macOS.
Which coding agents does it support?
Detailed status is available for Claude Code, Codex, Copilot CLI, Pi, Oh My Pi, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, Crush, Grok and Hermes. Other recognized terminal agents, including OpenClaw and Cursor CLI, can show process activity. A running process alone cannot reveal all task states. Agent tools and subscriptions are separate.
Does Orbit read or upload my conversations?
Orbit reads local agent status and session metadata. Its built-in watchers do not read prompts or commands, and it never uploads your prompts, code or agent output. There is no Orbit account, analytics or telemetry. Optional weather and local stories, lyric lookups, player artwork and update checks can make network requests.
How do Spotify and YouTube work?
Vinyl and Aurora follow a loaded Spotify track. Spotify mode docks Spotify’s own mini-player window, which requires Spotify running under XWayland. YouTube mode docks your browser’s picture-in-picture video. The screenshots show the connection cards for these two modes, not active playback.
What happens to my current desktop?
Orbit installs into your home folder and records the settings it changes. Disable Orbit in the manager to restore Omarchy’s bar and lock screen while keeping your Orbit preferences. Uninstall restores the changes Orbit owns; you can keep or delete your personal settings and recovery snapshots.
How do updates work?
Your purchase includes every Orbit 1.x update. Orbit checks for new versions but does not install them automatically. Download the new installer and matching signature from your Gumroad Library, then choose Update from downloaded installer in the manager. Your settings and personal assets are preserved.
Can I customize the files?
Yes, for your personal use. If you edit bundled code, the installer asks before replacing it and saves a recovery snapshot. Custom code is not automatically merged during updates. Sharing or redistributing Orbit, including modified copies, is not allowed.
Can I use Orbit on several computers?
Yes. The personal license covers the computers you personally use. Each person on a team needs their own purchase. Orbit has no license key or activation.
Can I turn off the motion or sounds?
Yes. Choose Calm, use Reduce motion for still artwork and fewer transitions, or enable Low power. Wallpaper arrivals have their own switch. Sounds start off and can be controlled by family.
Are these real product screenshots?
The images are screenshots of Orbit running on a live Omarchy desktop, with demo agents, sample music and a sample project in the terminals. Spotify and YouTube show their actual connection cards. No personal tasks or conversations are used.
Your agents, in orbit.
You, in your element.
A little more awareness. A little more atmosphere.
A desktop worth coming back to.
