About

Orbiter Dev

Read full description

Orbiter Dev is a mobile air traffic controller for developers working with single or multiple AI coding agents and IDEs. When an agent wants to run a command, change files, or perform a sensitive action, Orbiter Dev helps you review the request from anywhere using your iPhone or iPad before work continues. It is built for developers who want faster agent workflows without losing human control over risky actions. Key features: - Review approval events from your phone or tablet - Inspect action details, risk level, workspace, and agent source - Approve or reject requests with a clear audit trail - Use Face ID secure action for sensitive approval decisions - Tune Risk Rules to suit your appetite or reduce routine approval noise - View recent approvals & details and actions logged - Pair supported desktop coding environments and agent integrations - Manage & restore Pro subscriptions with StoreKit across devices Orbiter Dev is designed as a companion app for modern developer workflows. It does not replace code review, testing, backups, access control, or deployment safeguards. You remain responsible for reviewing agent actions before allowing them to pursue or block work. Free includes a limited approval workflow. Pro unlocks advanced approval controls for professional use, including unlimited approvals, Face ID approval gates, Risk Rules, and Priority Sync.
