This release has the same tools as the earlier free 0.9.2 beta, with updated purchase and support documentation; existing free beta users keep their original version. Read the license.
How do I get purchase or refund help?
Contact the seller through your Gumroad receipt within 30 days to request a refund. Applicable consumer rights are unaffected. Use the public feedback tracker for app bugs, but keep payment details private.

Can I undo the installation?

How do updates work?
Updates are manual. Quit Orbit and replace the app with a newer version from the same distributor. Keep the old installer for rollback. Ad-hoc updates may ask for permissions again.
