7:02 AM. You haven't said a word yet. "Morning. Rain clears by nine. Your ten o'clock moved to ten thirty — and that form you've been dodging is due today, so I put it at the top of your list." Every assistant until now has waited to be asked. Orb doesn't wait. IT KNOWS WHAT'S UP Orb keeps a running sense of your day and reaches out when something actually matters: "You've got four commits sitting unpushed since Tuesday. Worth protecting before the weekend." "NVDA's up four percent since you asked me to watch it." "You've been at this for twenty hours. I moved tomorrow's first ping to ten so you can sleep in." And when nothing matters? Silence. The bar for interrupting you is high. YOUR COMPUTER, IN YOUR POCKET Run the free, open-source Orb server on your own computer and your phone becomes its remote. Ask for real work from anywhere — "clean up my downloads folder" — and carry on with your day until the receipt lands: "Done. 214 files sorted, three gigs freed." Your machine did the work. Your phone just told you. JUST SAY IT Voice-first, human answers. "Remind me at eight" — "Done, eight tonight." No menus, no forms, no robot voice reading bullet points. IT REMEMBERS What you said last week. What you asked it never to let you skip. Where you left off. One continuous assistant across voice and chat — whichever AI engine you plug in, Orb stays Orb. ACTUALLY YOURS No account. No developer cloud — we couldn't read your data if we wanted to, because there's nothing of ours to read it with. Choose which AI powers it, swap anytime, name it what you like. Self-host and nothing ever leaves hardware you own. You've been promised this assistant for fifteen years. Nobody built it, because it can't be built in someone else's cloud — an assistant this close to your life only works if it's yours.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Orb at none against VideoToLive's 3. Orb also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). VideoToLive's advantage is ratings volume (43 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.2 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
