Getting started

Three steps. Install, add a key, write a scenario. The first run wizard inside the app walks you through everything in detail.

1. Install

Grab the right installer from the download page. First launch may show a security warning on macOS or Windows. Approve once and the OS remembers.

2. Add an LLM key

Open Settings, pick a provider, paste your key. The key is encrypted in your OS keychain. Orbis never sees it.

  • Anthropic. Sonnet is the default planner.
  • Google Gemini. 2.0 Flash is cheap and fast for vision.
  • OpenAI, DeepSeek, xAI, Mistral, OpenRouter.
  • Ollama for fully local runs.

3. Write your first scenario

Open the Scenarios tab and click New scenario. Give it a title and write three short sentences:

Go to https://app.example.com/login.
Sign in as qa@example.com / hunter2.
Confirm the dashboard greeting shows "Welcome back".

4. Run it

Hit Run and watch the Live Run view. Each step streams with a screenshot, the reasoning, the action taken, and a pass or fail for each assertion. When it finishes you get a self-contained HTML report.

Tip

Set a cost cap in Settings before pointing Orbis at production. A few cents is plenty for a smoke test and it stops a runaway scenario from draining your key.
