Orbit connects your phone and PC directly. Share your clipboard, see notifications, move files, mirror your screen and control media and earbuds, with no account and no cloud in between.
Website · Download · Troubleshooting · Privacy
| Universal clipboard | Copy on your PC and paste on your phone, automatically. Send text from your phone with one tap: a button, a Quick Settings tile, a notification action, or by sharing text to Orbit. Copies marked private by password managers are never synced |
| Notifications | Phone notifications appear as native Windows notifications with app icons. Dismiss one on your PC and it clears on your phone. Choose which apps forward, hide message text, pause, or silence alerts while your PC is locked |
| File transfer | Drag and drop files onto Orbit, or choose Share → Orbit on your phone. Transfers show progress and resume automatically if the connection drops |
| Screen mirroring | View and control your phone from your PC with mouse, keyboard and audio, in a window or full screen. Show the phone's camera instead of its screen. Capture screenshots and recordings. Works over USB, or over Wi-Fi after a one-time setup |
| Media controls | See what's playing on either device, then play, pause, skip or seek from the other. Phone audio appears in the Windows media controls, and PC playback in the phone's media player |
| Links | Share a link to Open on your PC and it opens in the PC's browser. Copy a link on the PC and send it to the phone from the tray or with Ctrl+Alt+L |
| Phone remote | Use the phone as a touchpad, keyboard or slides clicker for the PC, change or mute its volume, lock it, put it to sleep or shut it down, and run your own commands. The PC decides which buttons the phone gets, and every action shows a notification there |
| Phone battery | Charge level, charging state and time to full in the app, the system tray and the tray flyout, with a low-battery alert |
| USB modes | Choose what the cable does: charging only, USB tethering (your laptop goes online through your phone) or file sharing (your phone opens in File Explorer). Switch at any time from either device |
| Earbuds | Battery and Play Here for any Bluetooth earbuds. Noise control (Off / Transparency / ANC), sound settings and tap actions for supported realme, OnePlus and OPPO models, on both devices |
| Pairing | Scan a QR code, or plug in your phone and select Pair over USB |
Screens from Orbit's design files, shown with sample data.
| Feature | Requires |
|---|---|
| Clipboard, notifications, files, battery, media controls, links, phone remote | Nothing extra: USB tethering, a hotspot or a shared Wi-Fi network |
| Pair over USB, USB modes, mirroring over USB | USB debugging on the phone (how to enable it) |
| Mirroring over Wi-Fi | Wireless debugging (a one-time QR setup in Orbit) and both devices on the same Wi-Fi network |
| Showing the phone's camera | Android 12 or later, and mirroring working (USB debugging, or wireless mirroring set up) |
| Earbuds | Earbuds paired over Bluetooth. Full controls require realme, OnePlus or OPPO earbuds that use the realme Link or HeyMelody app (tested with realme Buds T310); other brands show battery and playback. To add support for yours, see Earbuds |
System requirements: Windows 10 (1809) or Windows 11, x64 · Android 10 or later.
Install on Windows. Download OrbitSetup-<version>.exe from
Releases and run it. Orbit runs in the system tray.
Install on Android. The simplest way: turn on USB debugging, connect your phone and select Install on phone on the PC's pairing screen. Orbit installs the Android app and pairs both devices in one step.
Alternatively, download Orbit-<version>-android.apk from the same release and install it, allowing installs
from your browser or file manager when prompted. Some phones block this with "App blocked to protect your
device"; in that case, install over USB (why).
Grant permissions. Open Orbit on your phone and allow the permissions it requests. Notification access and "stay connected" are the most important.
Pair (if you didn't install over USB). Connect with USB debugging on and select Pair over USB on your PC, or tap Scan QR code on your phone and point it at your PC.
To verify your download, compare its SHA-256 against SHA256SUMS.txt in the release.
Need help? See Troubleshooting. Samsung, Xiaomi and some other manufacturers restrict background apps aggressively; dontkillmyapp.com has instructions for each brand.
Orbit has no servers, no account and no analytics. Your data travels only between your own two devices, encrypted with TLS using keys pinned when you pair. Read the privacy policy for details, and report vulnerabilities as described in SECURITY.md.
Requires Windows with the .NET 8 SDK and JDK 17–21:
.\tools\fetch-thirdparty.ps1 # scrcpy server, FFmpeg and adb binaries (checksum-verified)

dotnet test windows\Orbit.Tests
cd android; .\gradlew.bat testDebugUnitTest
