Orbit

What Orbit is
Orbit is an AI app-building workspace from Forion that turns natural-language prompts into working web apps. It generates code, provisions Supabase for full-stack projects, and shows a live browser preview in a sandboxed Node.js WebContainer, without requiring a local toolchain installation. Before unlocking the preview, it typechecks the project and runs a production build, then attempts automatic fixes if an error occurs. Output targets include Next.js with Supabase, Expo React Native, Vite React with Tailwind, and standalone HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The workspace also combines chat, deep research, image generation, and video generation, routing tasks through 150+ models. Listed integrations include GitHub OAuth and repository synchronization, Expo EAS for mobile builds, and Supabase for managed PostgreSQL and authentication. Orbit is available on web, Android, and iOS. The free Core plan provides 200 credits with daily refresh and 5,000 welcome credits; Apex costs US$10.00 monthly and includes 10,000 credits. Usage limits include cloud sandbox sessions of up to one hour and 25 tool calls per chat turn.
