Getting started with Ordito

Ordito keeps repeatable shell work one click away. Here is how to go from install to a quieter daily workflow in a few minutes.

1. Install Ordito

Download the latest build for macOS, Windows, or Ubuntu from GitHub Releases, then launch it. Ordito lives in your system tray. On macOS it appears in the menu bar; on Windows and Ubuntu it appears in the system tray.

2. Save your first command

Open the panel and create a command. Give it a name, paste its exact shell instruction, set a working directory, and file it under a named group. Ordito remembers the syntax so you never retype it.

3. Run it

Run a saved command from the panel, or straight from the system tray menu without opening the panel at all. No terminal window is required — commands run as background processes and their output is captured.

4. Schedule recurring work

Turn any command into a recurring cron schedule or a one-time run. Pause schedules and check the next run time from the Schedule view.

5. Review the result

History captures every run: status, start time, duration, exit code, and output. Filter by status and expand any run to inspect what happened.
