## What is Orbit?

Screen time goals, kept together. Not alone.

Orbit helps you set real, enforced limits on the apps that pull you in, and share that commitment with a small group of friends called an Orbit. It uses Apple's Screen Time technology for limits that actually hold, backed by the one thing app blockers have always been missing: people who notice.

THE PROBLEM
Social media is engineered to win. The algorithms exploit your brain's wiring for connection and novelty, and willpower alone doesn't beat technology built to defeat it. You've tried app limits and ignored them. You've deleted apps and reinstalled them. Your friends struggle with the same thing, but everyone's failing alone.

HOW ORBIT WORKS
Set goals. Choose the apps and the limits that matter to you, with three goal types:
  • Daily Limit: a time budget for an app each day.
  • Scheduled Block: apps locked during the hours you choose, such as mornings,
  work, or bedtime.   
  • Focus Session: an on-demand timed lockout for when you need to lock in.

Hit the shield. When you reach a limit, the app is blocked. The shield is deliberately passive. There's no "just 5 more minutes" button on the block screen. Make a real decision. To get past a limit, you open Orbit, find the goal, and override it through a short countdown that shows your Orbit's shared commitment. Overriding is always possible; it's just never frictionless or invisible.

Your Orbit sees it. Every override is shared with your group instantly. You build streaks together, and if someone slips, the Orbit knows. A built-in group chat keeps the accountability and encouragement flowing.

WHY THIS WORKS
Every accountability model that actually works, like sponsor systems, group programs, and training partners, runs on human connection, not solitary willpower. Orbit points the same social psychology that keeps you hooked (connection, accountability, not wanting to let people down) back toward getting your time back.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your raw Screen Time data never leaves your iPhone. Orbit shares only the accountability summaries you'd expect, whether you stayed within a limit or  overrode it, and only with the friends in the Orbits you choose to join. No ads. No trackers. No selling your data.

SOLO OR TOGETHER
Use Orbit on your own for enforced limits, or invite a few friends and make it a team effort. You can't fight the most advanced attention technology in the world alone. Together, you have a shot.
note 
iPhone only. Requires iOS 26 or later and Screen Time access.
