Getting Started

What you need and how to begin with Orbeex.

Getting Started

Orbeex is in active development. This page describes the first public release. Exact download links will appear here when it ships — you can also watch the project repository for release announcements.

What you will need

	Requirement
Computer	Windows 10/11, macOS 12+, or a current Linux distribution
Disk space	A few hundred megabytes for the application
Internet	Only for downloading the app and (optionally) AI features — the software itself runs offline
AI account	Optional. Only if you want AI features. You use your own account and key

The first-session flow

Once installed, a typical first session looks like this:

1. Open Orbeex.
2. Open a map file — drag in a GeoPackage, GeoJSON, or GeoTIFF file, or browse for it. Your map appears.
3. Explore — zoom, pan, click features to see their details.
4. Ask for something — type a request in plain language, or use the tools directly. For bigger tasks, Orbeex shows you the plan first.
5. Approve and run.
6. Save or export your result.

That is the whole loop. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is shared.

Do you need AI?

No. AI features simply save you from building steps by hand — beginners get results faster, and experienced users skip repetitive work. Without AI, Orbeex is a complete, quiet, offline map-analysis tool.

If you do want AI: open settings, choose a provider (OpenAI, Anthropic’s Claude, Google Gemini, DeepSeek, Qwen, or a local model), and paste your own API key. Details: Using AI with Orbeex.
