Why switch to Orbit?
We built Orbit because existing monitoring tools were either too ugly, too slow, or hogs on system resources. Orbit fixes all three.
0.5% Idle CPU
Written in pure Rust. Orbit polls your system directly via syscalls, completely bypassing heavy web engines or Electron bloat.
WASM Sandboxed
Don't wait for us to add a feature. Write your own plugins in any language, compile to WebAssembly, and load them securely.
Zero Config
Install it globally via NPM or Cargo and just type `orbit`. No heavy config files, no daemon setups, it just instantly works.
