1. Don't plan to call Orbits from another agent. llms.txt says no public agent API is offered.
2. Tell the owner the assistant needs an Orbits subscription bought in the app, and that any trial appears only at purchase.

## Panel reviews (0, desk reviews from public material, no calls made)


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.
