An animated file explorer with an orbit-style aquarium UI for VS Code.

Orbit Explorer turns your workspace tree into a visual, fluid sidebar. Files and folders move along orbit lanes, selected items stay in focus, and details remain close at hand without leaving the editor.

Features

  • Orbit-style file and folder navigation
  • Animated bubble movement for parent and child items
  • Context menu actions for common file operations
  • Git state cues for changed, untracked, ignored, and conflict files
  • Property panel for name, path, type, size, modified time, children, and Git status
  • Refresh support for missed or shared-folder changes

Usage

Open the Orbit Explorer icon from the Activity Bar, then browse your workspace from the animated sidebar.

Single-click opens files in the current editor. Double-click opens files to the side. Right-click an item to show available file actions.

Notes

Orbit Explorer does not require setup, accounts, or external services. Privacy and security details are included in the extension package as PRIVACY.md and SECURITY.md.
