Expo Orbit2.8.1

Launch a development build or start a simulator directly from the menu bar with Expo Orbit, keeping those frequent actions within quick reach. It puts these launch controls in a compact menu-bar utility instead of requiring the developer to navigate through other tools each time. The program is aimed at developers and other technical users who develop software or perform related technical work and need a convenient way to trigger builds and simulators during development.

From its menu-bar control, users can initiate builds and start simulator sessions as part of their normal development workflow. Its deliberately narrow feature set centers on those two actions, so it serves as a quick launcher rather than a broader development environment. That placement lets users invoke either operation without leaving the current desktop context. This is useful during repeated build-and-test cycles, when switching between code and runtime checks is routine.

Expo Orbit 2.8.1 runs on macOS 14 Sonoma or later and supports both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs. It is freeware in the Developer Tools category.
