Every Orbit update,
in one feed

CloudOrbit is now available — the AWS session manager you wish Leapp was.

What's included

• AWS SSO — switch accounts without touching a config file
• Auto-kubeconfig — EKS clusters detected and written automatically
• Session persistence — active sessions survive app restarts
• Region selector — pick any AWS region per profile
• IAM / Chained / Federated — all auth methods supported
• Cloudflare & corporate proxy compatible

Free. Native Rust. No Electron.

DataOrbit is the DynamoDB GUI the AWS console never was.

What's included

• Browse — grid + JSON views, row detail panel, schema inspector
• Explore — query builder with GSI support, filter expressions, cost warnings
• Live Streams — real-time DynamoDB Streams event viewer
• Cross-table joins — inner, left, left-anti, right, right-anti
• Query history — full history with search
• CouchDB support
• No Electron, no JVM — pure Rust + Tauri

Free forever. MIT licensed.

What's new

• Bug fixes and stability improvements for JCEF panel
• Better handling of malformed mermaid blocks (no more frozen preview)
• Mermaid 10.9.3 bundled — works fully offline / air-gapped

Two apps, one day. CloudOrbit (AWS session manager) and DataOrbit (DynamoDB GUI) both go live on Monday September 7, 2026.

• CloudOrbit: AWS SSO, EKS, kubeconfig auto-update, works behind Cloudflare
• DataOrbit: live streams, cross-table joins, query builder with GSI support

Both are free, native Rust, open source.

What's new

• NewsBell in the tray popup — unread dot and release notes dropdown
• News screen in the Dashboard with markdown rendering and pull-to-refresh
• UpdaterModal — changelog, download progress, in-app install
• Homebrew Cask auto-updates on every release

ProxyOrbit doesn't have a public launch date yet — the MITM cert chain and Zscaler workaround flow need another QA pass before going public.

• Capture HTTP/HTTPS from any Mac app
• Filter by method, status, host, path
• Real-time request log with body inspection
• Native Rust + Hyper + Tokio — under 30 MB at idle

No subscription, no $50 license. MIT. Sign up to get notified the moment a date is locked.

BastionOrbit has been moved off its July 3 slot. The auto-expiry TTL flow and multi-bastion connectivity probe need more soak time before going public.

• One-click port forwarding through bastion hosts
• Auto-expiry TTL — never leave a tunnel open overnight
• Multi-bastion management with connectivity probing
• Pairs with DataOrbit for tunneled DB connections

Real ssh -N -L processes — no protocol reimplementation. Free forever. Sign up for the launch date drop.

Running multiple AWS accounts? CloudOrbit cycles through all active sessions in the sidebar every 5 seconds — click any indicator to jump directly to that session.

Use the region selector per profile to avoid switching regions manually in the terminal.

Scanning large DynamoDB tables is slow and expensive. In DataOrbit's Explore tab, open the Index dropdown to pick a GSI — filter fields update automatically to match the index keys.

Always prefer a GSI query over a Scan when you know the access pattern.

Hold ⌥ (Option) while clicking the menu-bar icon and the popup stays pinned — useful when you want to watch wattage drift while doing something else.
