Verified Builder

Orbit Editor is a fully open-source AI coding agent, built for developers who want freedom over their tools. No vendor lock-in. No forced model. No walled garden. Bring your own LLM provider — OpenAI, Anthropic, open-weight models, or anything else — and Orbit Editor works with it. We're currently live in beta, free for anyone to try. Orbit Editor is built and improved in the open. Every contribution, every piece of feedback, and every star on our repo shapes what we build next. Try the beta: orbiteditorai.com

    Highlights Annotate images before sending Orbit now includes a built-in image markup editor for composer attachments.

The editor is responsive, keyboard-friendly, theme-aware, and supports reduced motion and high-contrast modes.
