OPEN SOURCE. ON YOUR MACHINE.

Your agent has work.
You have your own.

Give your AI agent a private browser or display.
Keep your desktop, your focus, and your flow.

Experimental alpha · Apache-2.0 ·No telemetry

You work at your own desk while an agent uses separate browser and application windows beside it — Your desktop. Your rhythm.The agent’s own workspace.

THE PROBLEM

One desktop.
Two things competing.

When an agent works on your screen, its clicks, windows and typing get in the way of yours. You end up waiting for your own computer.

You should both be able to keep working.

Separate spaces. Same machine.

Two ways to work. Neither takes over your desktop.

Watch. Pause. Step in.

See the work, then take the controls when you need.

Watch

01 / 04

Open the viewer to see the agent’s private workspace while your own desktop stays yours.

Pause

02 / 04

Pause the session to stop new agent actions. Take a look before the work continues.

Take over

03 / 04

While paused, use the viewer to interact with the private workspace yourself.

Resume

04 / 04

Resume the session when you are ready for the agent to continue.

A workspace of its own.

A fresh browser for web tasks. A private display for native apps.

Two hand drawn windows: a private browser and a native application on a private display

Bring your agent.

Connect a tool-capable agent host through MCP or the CLI.

One agent. A clear chain of control.

Your agent gives instructions. Orbit manages the workspace.

From setup to your first task.

Three steps. The essentials are right here.

01
Install on your machine.
Use the commands below. The installer checks what your system needs.
Go to installation
02
Connect your agent.
After installation, run this in your terminal. It prints configuration to paste into your agent host’s MCP settings; it does not connect the host for you.
sbar-orbit connector-config
03
Give it a first task.
Ask your connected agent to open a private browser with Orbit and carry out a task. Open the viewer whenever you want to follow along.
export ORBIT_SOCKET="$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/sbar-orbit/broker.sock" sbar-orbit preview
For the installed service: copy the printed URL into your browser. This command does not open a window. If you started Orbit with serve, use the socket path it printed instead.

Orbit does not collect usage data. Your agent tools and visited websites still make their own network requests.

A place for your
agent to begin.

Full installation reference (English)

In your terminal

git clone https://github.com/M7MMAD-OMAR/sbar-orbit

Linux with user cgroup delegation, Bun and Chrome/Chromium. Native apps need the Fedora setup.

Experimental alpha

Measured on Fedora 44 with wlroots. Other platforms: not measured. See support tiers.

BUILT IN THE OPEN

A little coffee.
More room to build.

Orbit is free and open source. If it makes your workday a little better, you can support the person building it.

Always optional. Always appreciated.
