Build apps with Better Auth-style auth

Orbit provisions clean, codebase-native auth like Better Auth's — but server-managed through Supabase Auth so no auth code ships in your bundle.

Better Auth AI Builder

Better Auth's selling point is auth code you own. Orbit goes further: Supabase Auth manages identity server-side, while the app gets the same social login, email flows, and sessions — with zero auth code to maintain.

In plain English

Better Auth gives you auth code you own. Orbit skips the code entirely — Supabase manages identity server-side while your app gets all the same flows.

How it works in Orbit

Better Auth is a modern, TypeScript-first auth library loved by open-source teams. Orbit's philosophy matches: clean, typed, self-hosted auth with no proprietary walls.

Typed auth, the Better way

Orbit's default Supabase Auth gives typed sessions and schema-controlled users — the same developer experience Better Auth promotes, without extra libraries.

  • Typed session handling
  • Schema-defined users
  • No magic strings

Self-hosted and open

Like Better Auth, Orbit keeps auth open and portable. You can export the project and take your auth patterns anywhere.

  • No vendor lock-in
  • Portable patterns
  • Open standards

Drop-in friendly

Teams already on Better Auth can keep it. Orbit's auth context is standard, so swapping the provider is a configuration change, not a rewrite.

  • Standard context
  • Provider swappable
  • Minimal change
  1. Build with auth

    Describe the app and who can use it.

  2. Get typed auth

    Orbit wires Supabase Auth with types.

  3. Keep your stack

    Or drop in Better Auth via config.

  4. Ship open

    Deploy with portable, open auth.

The challenge

Try it yourself

Run this one on a competitor first — then on Orbit. Same prompt, and keep score.

Build

Try this one elsewhere first.

Build the same login flow on two tools, then count the auth code in each bundle. One of them has none to maintain.

Research

Ask a research tool to go deep on one topic.

Then ask Orbit. Compare how many rounds it runs, how many sources it actually reads — we target 65+ — and whether every claim in the final report has a link attached. Bring a bigger coffee mug.

Chat

Ask a plain chatbot the same question.

One just talks. Orbit's agent actually searches the web, runs code, reads your files, and comes back with something done. Compare how many tabs you opened and how many are still open when you're finished.

Image & video

Generate the same image, then edit it.

Ask two tools for the same hero shot, then ask both to recolor it, fill in the background, and animate it. Compare who hands you a first draft and who keeps refining in the same conversation.

Honest stack note: Orbit standardizes your spec to a production React (Vite + TypeScript + Tailwind) stack with Supabase as the data layer. You get the product you asked for — verified, typed, and provisioned — built on the platform's supported stack rather than a framework Orbit can't verify end-to-end.

Frequently asked questions

Does Orbit write auth code into my app?

No — Supabase Auth handles identity server-side. The app receives sign-in UI, OAuth, and sessions without custom auth code to maintain.

Can I keep using Better Auth with Orbit?

Yes. Orbit's default is Supabase Auth, but the auth context is standard, so Better Auth can be wired in as your provider with configuration rather than a rewrite.

Does Better Auth fit Orbit's TypeScript-first stack?

Perfectly — Orbit's default auth is also TypeScript-first with typed sessions and roles. Better Auth's philosophy maps 1:1, so you keep the open-source, self-hosted approach you prefer.
