Orbit for Vibe Coders
You don't need to know code. You need to describe what you want. Orbit shows you your running app. Click on something. Tell the agent what to change. It happens.
How it works
Describe. See. Click. Change. Repeat.
"Build me a personal website with my bio, projects, and a contact form." Talk to Orbit like you'd talk to a developer friend.
The agent writes the code and runs your app. You see it happening in real time — the code in the editor, the result in the browser. Same window.
"Make this bigger." "Change the color." "Add a button here." Click the element in your running app, tell the agent what you want, done.
"Add a dark mode." "Make it work on mobile." "Add a page for my blog." The agent iterates as many times as you need.
Not a template builder
Browser-based builders (Bolt, Lovable, Replit) are fast for simple projects, but your work lives on their servers. When you outgrow it, you start over.
Orbit is a native desktop app. Your project lives on your machine as real files. The agent writes custom code — not templates — for exactly what you describe. If you ever want a developer to continue your project, they open the folder and keep going.
What to know
Clear descriptions get better results. The agent is powerful but not a mind reader. “Build me a fitness tracker with workout logging and progress charts” works better than “build me an app.”
Deploy is separate for now. Orbit builds your app but doesn't host it yet. You'll use services like Vercel or Netlify. One-click deploy is on the roadmap.
Best for web projects. Websites, web apps, dashboards, landing pages. Not for mobile apps, game development, or ML pipelines.
macOS only for now. Windows and Linux are coming.
Questions
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You describe what you want in plain language. The agent handles the code. You don't need to read it, understand it, or touch it.
Is this just another no-code tool?
No. No-code tools limit you to templates and pre-built components. Orbit's agent writes custom code for exactly what you describe. And your project lives on your machine as real files — not locked in someone's platform.
What if the agent builds something wrong?
Just say so. "That's not what I meant, I wanted X instead." Or click the element that's wrong and describe the fix. The agent adjusts. It's a conversation.
What can I build?
Websites, web apps, dashboards, landing pages, internal tools, simple apps. The agent is very capable for web-based projects. Complex systems (game engines, ML pipelines) are beyond scope.
Can a real developer continue my project?
Yes. Everything the agent builds is standard code. A developer opens the project and continues where you left off. No export, no translation — it's already real code.
Is it free?
Free during early access. Sign in with your Claude account (even free tier) or bring your own Anthropic API key. macOS only for now.
