Apogee rebuilds Mozilla's Orbit as a fully local tool
Original: Show HN: Apogee: Rebuilding Mozilla's Orbit, fully local and private
A developer has launched Apogee, an open-source reimplementation of Mozilla's Orbit, the browser AI assistant that Mozilla discontinued. The new version runs entirely locally, keeping user data private rather than sending it to cloud services, and the code is available on GitHub. The project is drawing attention on Hacker News, where commenters are weighing interest in privacy-preserving AI tools against questions about how well the rebuild matches the original.
Why now: Privacy-focused local AI tools are a hot topic, and reviving a discontinued Mozilla product appeals to both former Orbit users and the open-source community.
