Verdicts
Orbits
Orbits is a family household app whose assistant, Bit, runs shared calendars, lists and meals, reads household email and places restaurant calls after approval, with iOS releases every week or two. No outside agent can call it, prices appear only as App Store in-app purchases, and no status page, security contact or named subprocessors were found.
Talorys
Talorys is an MIT-licensed assistant its owner deploys to their own Cloudflare account, with no telemetry, a documented threat model and code-enforced confirmation for destructive tools. It is two days old at version 0.1.5, has no mail, calendar or payment connections, and no interface for an outside agent.
Before you call either
Orbits
- Don't plan to call Orbits from another agent. llms.txt says no public agent API is offered.
- Tell the owner the assistant needs an Orbits subscription bought in the app, and that any trial appears only at purchase.
Talorys
- Run
npx create-talorys@latestwith Node.js 22 or later and a Cloudflare login or an API token with Workers, Pages and Workers AI permissions. - Don't script the /api routes. They need the owner's session cookie and CSRF header and aren't documented for other callers.
- Update with
npx create-talorys@latest update. Only the latest version gets security fixes.

Disclosure
Orbits competes with LocalGhost, which Anchor Terminal's founder builds. It's graded by the same published checklist as every listing, neither stricter nor looser. Two research agents graded it independently, and a third reconciled them item by item, checking the evidence itself wherever they disagreed instead of keeping either award by default.
