About
Orbytal is chat for the place you're standing in.
Open the map and you'll see rooms around you. A concert, a campus quad, a coffee shop, a pickup game at the park. Walk into one and you're in the conversation. Leave, and you're out. No feeds to scroll, no followers to chase, just the people who are actually here.
ROOMS
- See public rooms on the map near you
- Join any room you're standing inside
- Start your own room in seconds and set how big it is
- Make a room private so only your friends can find it
- Share photos, pin important messages, and promote admins to help run things
- Hand a room off to someone else when you head out
SHOUTS
Let your friends know you're nearby with a quick shout. Pick who hears it, from everyone to a small group, and they'll get a heads-up that you're close.
FRIENDS
Add friends by scanning their QR code, sharing a link, or searching their username. Jump into the same rooms and catch up when you're nearby.
NO SIGN-UP
No email, no phone number, no password. Your account is tied to your phone, so you can open the app and start talking right away.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
- Make a room private so only your friends can find it
- Other people never see your exact location
- Background alerts are optional, off by default, and only use your general area
- No ads tracking you, no data sold
SAFE SPACES
Report or block anyone with a tap. Room owners and admins can remove people from their rooms. Turn on the explicit word filter in Preferences if you'd rather not see it.
STAY IN THE LOOP
Turn on background alerts to hear about new rooms nearby and shouts from friends, even when the app is closed. You choose exactly which notifications you get.
Orbytal is for ages 13 and up.
