Know which agent
needs you.

No. Options+ stays installed and keeps updating; Orbtile never modifies it. Switch between Orbtile and Options+ at any time from the menu bar, or hold both page buttons on the keypad for 1.5 seconds. When you quit Orbtile, the keypad goes back to Options+.

It adds optional plugins or hooks for supported agents. Review each integration before enabling it. Session files and task databases are read for display; databases are opened read-only. Turn agents off or remove their integrations in Settings. Remote hooks are installed only on SSH hosts you choose. See the files, reads and removal steps.

The supported agents can share the keypad, with a colour you choose for each. Keypad approval is optional and off by default for each agent. See the integration guide for support details, or connect another agent through the Adapter API.

For supported agents, pick numbered options, including multiple choices when allowed, then hold Send for 0.6 seconds. The question stays on screen. Enable the agent's keypad interaction and Key actions first. Support varies by agent; typed answers are entered on screen. See the key map and gestures.

Frosted glow, Globules and Point cloud. Point cloud draws a lattice of crisp round dots; Globules draws turning spheres of glowing globules, with its loop reset fixed in 0.2. Pick a theme in Settings > Appearance. Tool motion follows the kind of tool.

Orbtile checks a signed beta status file at orbtile.com and sends a small usage summary at most every 2 hours while it runs, only when it changed: counts and minutes (app starts, sessions per agent, AI model names, features used) under a pseudonymous machine ID. The server keeps daily totals and changes by UTC hour of report receipt per pseudonymous Mac. Automatic reports never send prompts, transcripts, file paths or names. Chosen remote hosts send display events over SSH. Local agent events travel over a private Unix-domain socket that only your user account can open, and stay on your Mac. Feedback messages contain what you type and are stored as submitted; please leave out secrets, personal information and private task text. The beta needs no licence key. Orbtile needs no account. Read the privacy notice for details.

The beta is signed with Orbtile’s own certificate and is not notarised by Apple. First open steps:

1. Open Orbtile from Applications. When macOS shows Orbtile Not Opened, click Done (never Move to Trash).
2. Open System Settings > Privacy & Security, scroll to Security, and click Open Anyway next to “Orbtile was blocked to protect your Mac”.
3. Confirm with Touch ID or your password.
4. Open Orbtile again and click Open.

Open Anyway is available for about an hour after the blocked launch; if the button is gone, run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Orbtile.app, which removes the app’s quarantine flag, in Terminal, then open Orbtile again.

Orbtile 0.2 is free during the beta. Beta builds stop working when 1.0 ships, with at least 30 days' notice. Orbtile 1.0 is pay what you want from EUR 19 for up to 5 Macs, with a 14-day trial. Read the pricing details.

A Mac with Apple silicon and macOS 14 Sonoma or later, a Logitech MX Creative Keypad, and a supported agent.

Existing sessions can appear from local files. If your agent loads hooks only at launch, restart its sessions after installing or updating the integration. See the setup guide for your agent.
