## What is Orbits?

Orbit helps you turn a passing thought into a shareable plan you can review with friends.

PLACE MATCH

Say “dinner at home tonight”, “coffee with Maya”, or “plan a day out this weekend”. Orbit gathers the useful details, finds grounded options, and shows you a proposal before anything is shared or changed.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Describe the idea in ordinary language
2. Add a person, place, time, photo, or approved source only when useful
3. Review the stops, route, evidence, and provider status
4. Save the plan, open Apple Maps, draft a message or calendar event, or approve an available handoff
5. Go — open in Apple Maps or share the plan with your group

TRIP PACKS

Start from ready-made plans for a destination, beginning with Bali. Save curated places into My Places, add day plans to Planner, and ask trip-specific questions like which day is best for sunset, what to do first, what to book ahead, or how to shorten the itinerary.

SOLO, SHARED, AND GROUP PLANS

Plan a day for yourself, coordinate with one person, or shape a group outing:

- Smart Date: Auto-selects your top places based on favourites, visit frequency, and staleness
- Build Route: Walk, drive, or transit directions between your stops with a timeline
- Share Plan: Generate a 9:16 itinerary card for Stories, iMessage, or WhatsApp
- Shared Plans: Invite people to review a proposal; Orbit never silently messages, shares location, or books on your behalf
- Dinner at home: discover food options as read-only inspiration; ordering and payment require explicit provider approval

SHAREABLE MOMENTS

- Turn a passing thought into a clean plan card for Messages, WhatsApp, or Stories
- Invite a friend to review the same proposal instead of forwarding a wall of links
- Save the finished outing as a journal card with selected photos and evidence

PROVIDER NETWORK AND GOODIES

- Cleartrip, OLX, Swiggy, Maps, and future MCP providers appear only through verified, capability-scoped connections
- Orbit can draft a travel or marketplace handoff, but does not silently book, buy, or pay
- Optional Orbit-owned goodies may add plan-card themes, journal covers, stickers, widgets, and richer story previews
- StoreKit goods apply to Orbit features, not external provider orders or merchant settlement

PLACE INTELLIGENCE

- Staleness Tracking: See which places you haven't visited in months
- Exploration Score: Track how many new places you try vs. revisits
- Taste Profile: Discover your top neighbourhoods and favourite categories

TRIP HISTORY & JOURNAL

- Save every planned route to History
- Log past outings with photos, captions, and moods per stop
- Journal any trip — generate a shareable journal card

DEEP iOS INTEGRATION

- Siri Shortcuts: "Suggest a place" or "How many places do I have?"
- Spotlight Search: Find saved places from the home screen
- Share Extension: Share supported links directly into Orbit
- Background Visit Detection: Automatically logs places you visit

Orbit uses SwiftUI, SwiftData, MapKit, App Intents, and ActivityKit. External actions are permissioned and approval-gated. Provider availability, live collaboration, account exchange, and payment depend on configuration and are not implied by this description.

Date Night builds a two-person evening: a midpoint, a mutual swipe, and a drinks, dinner, and dessert plan.

### 1.5.3 — 2026-10-10

New in this version:

- Trip Packs: start from ready-made destination plans, beginning with Bali.

- Save a trip pack into My Places and Planner so curated places become editable day plans.
