Orbit for Developers

Everything you love. Nothing you hate.

VSCode's power under the hood. Agent-first AI that actually helps. Docker, Git, and deploy in one click. Orbit is what your IDE should have been.

Try Orbit Free

Yeah, We Know

“Another AI coding tool?”

This one's different. Agent-first, not autocomplete-first. Agents handle full tasks, not just line completions.

“I've got my setup dialed in”

Cool. But remember how long that took? Your next machine won't. Neither will your teammate's.

“VSCode + extensions works fine”

Until it doesn't. Extension conflicts, config drift, “works on my machine.” You know the drill.

“I don't need training wheels”

Neither do we. Full customization available. We just removed the mandatory pain.


The Developer Experience

VSCode Engine

Not a fork. Not “inspired by.” The actual VSCode engine. Your extensions work. Your keybindings work. Your muscle memory works.

Agent-First AI

Not just autocomplete. Orbit's agents handle full tasks: scaffold a feature, debug an error, write tests, refactor a module. You direct, they execute.

One-Click Everything

Docker: One click, containers running
Git: Visual interface or CLI — your choice
Deploy: Push to production without leaving the app
Databases: Postgres, Redis, whatever — one click
Env management: Switch between projects instantly

Integrated Browser

Preview your app without alt-tabbing. Full Chromium with DevTools built in. Hot reload just works.

Terminal That Doesn't Suck

Multiple panes, split views, AI-assisted commands. Run anything. Use your shell, your aliases, your dotfiles.


The Honest Take

“The first hour feels weird because nothing broke during setup.”

— Beta user, Senior Engineer

“I kept waiting for the config step. There isn't one.”

— Beta user, Tech Lead

“My intern was productive on day one. That never happens.”

— Beta user, Engineering Manager

“I use it for new projects now. Might migrate everything eventually.”

— Beta user, Full Stack Dev


You're Still in Control

The difference: defaults that work. Customize because you want to, not because you have to.

Settings: JSON config, same as VSCode
Extensions: Install what you need
Keybindings: Fully customizable
Themes: Bring your own or use built-in
AI behavior: Adjust autonomy, model, context
Terminal: Your shell, aliases, dotfiles

About the AI

Not just autocomplete

Autocomplete is table stakes. Orbit's agents handle multi-step tasks: implement features, fix bugs, write tests.

Context-aware

Agents understand your whole project, not just the current file. They know your patterns, your dependencies, your architecture.

You're the architect

Agents do implementation. You make decisions. They don't go rogue. You stay in control.

Multiple models

Use Claude, GPT, or your own API keys. Pick the model that works for your task.

Adjustable autonomy

Want agents to ask before acting? Done. Want them to just execute? That too. Your call.
