Orbit

Spherical window switching for macOS.

A gesture summons a sphere of your windows floating over the desktop. Spin it, and the window facing you takes focus.

How it works

01

Summon

Rest three fingers on the trackpad, or press ⌃⌥Space. A sphere of your open windows appears over the desktop — real window snapshots, captured the moment you summon.

02

Spin

Move your fingers and the sphere turns. Flick it and it glides, then settles on the nearest window. You're browsing everything you have open, in space.

03

Pick

Lift your fingers. The window facing you takes focus. Summon, spin, pick — one motion, no keyboard required.

Controls

Trackpad

Rest three fingers, then move — that's summon, steer, and pick on lift. A fast swipe stays native, so Mission Control is untouched.

Hotkey

Space summons the sphere; press it again to dismiss. Rebindable in Settings.

Keys

Arrow keys step the selection tile by tile. Return focuses it, Esc backs out.

Mouse

Point to select without turning the sphere. Scroll to spin, click a window to focus it directly.

Questions

Why isn't it on the App Store?

The trackpad gesture is continuous — Orbit reads finger contacts the whole time the sphere is up, without stealing them from macOS. That takes APIs the App Store doesn't allow. Dropping the gesture would gut the product, so Orbit ships as a direct download instead.

Is it a subscription?

No. $19 once and it's yours. The 14-day trial is the full app, not a cut-down version.

What data does it collect?

None. No analytics, no accounts, no telemetry. Window thumbnails are captured locally and never leave your Mac. The app's only network call is license validation: your license key, sent to the licensing server, and nothing else.

Try it on your own windows.
