App interface with example contentFollow this guide in your Pocket Orbit workspace. You can also open the sample material in an ordinary Markdown editor.
Check download, device and Pro requirements. In the revised onboarding, access choice comes before personal setup: local Free on iPhone and iPad needs no account; Pro checkout or restoration requires account binding. Model setup is a separate optional step and does not prove a qualified task. For this Mac exercise, extract the sample archive and keep an untouched copy. The sample is original synthetic Markdown; its ordinary SVG is not a native ink companion.
Use the workspace chooser → Open workspace… and select the extracted working folder. Cancel the chooser if you are unsure which folder is selected. Do not open your only copy of a personal vault for this exercise.
