Microsoft Store

Coming soon.

Orby is the new name for OrbNook. The current Windows app, checkout and receipts still use OrbNook. Check compatibility before buying. This is an unsigned indie installer. See system requirements and installation details.

THE USEFUL DETAILS

A few things to know.

What kind of PC does Orby need?

Windows 11 on x64, a compatible Intel or AMD processor, Windows 11 compatible graphics, 8 GB RAM and 1 GB free storage are recommended. The .NET runtime is included. Read the full requirements.

Will everything show the same data on every PC?

No. Desktop PCs may not have a battery. Media controls depend on a supported player. Screen time records while Orby is running and tracking is enabled; it cannot recover your earlier activity. Connected tools depend on their providers.

Is Windows notification mirroring included?

It is excluded from website and Gumroad editions. Microsoft Store edition: coming soon.

Do I need to enter API keys?

Weather does not require your own API key. Optional revenue and analytics connections can require provider credentials. You can use the other tools without connecting those services.

How do activation and refunds work?

Choose your purchase provider in the app and enter the key from your receipt. Up to three PCs can be active. Online validation is required initially; previously verified licenses have a bounded offline allowance of up to three days. A refunded license loses access when revocation is verified or that allowance expires. Get help.
