Run a fleet of Claude Code agents side by side. Orbit keeps them moving, puts what needs you first, and keeps working while you are away. One window, on your own Mac. Open source.
Windows 1.0.3 · 216 MB · Windows 10 or later, 64-bit (x64). An early build, and not signed. What that means

It carries no code signature — there is no Windows certificate yet — so SmartScreen stops it the first time with “Windows protected your PC”: choose More info, then Run anyway. The checksum below is how you confirm the file you have is the file we published, and it is what stands in for a signature until there is one.
It installs for you alone, needs no administrator, and lets you choose the folder. Two gaps worth knowing before you rely on it: secrets are not kept in a keychain on Windows, so anything that needs a stored credential is not safe there yet, and only the 64-bit x64 build exists — an ARM PC is not served.

The Laika Orbit app window: a navigation rail, a calendar and an inbox of three agents waiting for you, a knowledge map of the indexed workspace grouped into repos, mail, chats, notes, documents and workspace files, and the Claude panel with two chats side by side, one working through a task list and one asking a question.
The film runs through what Orbit does all day. Pick a job to jump to it, or press play and watch the lot.
Run many Claude Code chats at once. Orbit keeps them moving, puts what needs you first, and sits beside the editor you already use.
A conductor chat sends each of your chats its next step. Switch to Away and it keeps them going: the plainly safe steps are approved, stuck chats are brought back, and anything that reaches outside your Mac waits for you. Come back to one summary card.
How away mode works →Chats run side by side, one per task, on any of your Claude accounts, and they come back after a restart. The fleet board puts the ones waiting on you at the top.
New Each chat shows its branch, commits and uncommitted files. Mark its work ready and the merge train lands it on your local main once the repo's own check passes. If the check goes red, the chat that broke it gets the output. Pushing stays with you.
Builds, test runs and batch jobs share one page, with progress and an ETA. A job that goes quiet is flagged as stalled. Before and after sit side by side.
Line up the next tasks. The queue survives restarts, and with autopilot on, the next item starts by itself when a chat frees up.
Test runs, builds and captures run on a Linux box under the desk, and the files come back when they finish. No vendor cloud. Windows PCs for GPU work are in testing.

Fleet, runs, queue, calendar and your apps dock beside the chats, and the layout is yours.
Press ⌘K and recall finds the section that answers you in about a millisecond, with no model calls.
Chromium tabs with a profile per account, signed in side by side. Chrome extensions included.
Hidden panels stop drawing. Idle, the app went from 41% of a CPU core to 11%, and to 5.5% while you're in another window.
Files, repos, notes, chats and routines, drawn as a map you can fly through. Press⌘K and the answer is there, with the file it came from.
Search runs on Laika Orbit recall: the exact section in about a millisecond, with no model calls. It works in any Claude Code session today:claude mcp add laikaorbit -- npx -y laikaorbit mcp
Say how long you'll be gone. Your chats keep moving: the plainly safe steps are approved for you, chats that stall or hit a usage limit are brought back, and everything else waits. When you're back, one card says what finished, what's still running and what needs you.
AI editors and agent apps are great at one repo and one conversation. Orbit is built for everything around them. Use it alongside the editor you already love.
