Community vs Orbit

Community powers direct relationships and one-on-one conversations between Leaders and their Members through text messaging at scale. Launched in 2019 and headquartered in Santa Monica, CA, Community is breaking new ground in trusted marketing and communications channels by connecting Leaders - global pop culture stars, local community organizers, small business owners, media companies, and brands - to their Members to drive conversations that convert into actions, sales, revenue and more.

Orbit is a personal relationship manager for young professionals: a contacts app that goes the extra mile. Your career is built on relationships, but the tools you have aren't built for them. Contacts sit in your phone with no context. Nothing tells you it's been four months since you spoke to the mentor who helped you land your last job. Relationships rarely end on purpose, they just quietly go cold. Orbit is the fix. ORGANIZE PEOPLE INTO NETWORKS Keep separate networks for separate parts of your career — your current field and the one you're pivoting into — so contexts never mix. Contacts sort starred-first, then by who you spoke with most recently, so the people you're actively building with stay on top. REMEMBER EVERY CONVERSATION Every contact carries your notes, where you met, their role and company, and how they connect to everyone else you know — including who introduced you to whom. Open a contact before you reach out and the whole history is right there. NEVER LET A THREAD DROP Set a follow-up in hours, days, weeks, or months. The contact row switches from "Last contacted" to a live countdown, and a reminder arrives at the right time — even when the app is closed. TRACK WHAT YOU OWE PEOPLE Add tasks to any contact: send the intro, share the deck, check in after their interview. The Tasks tab groups everything by person, with an overdue badge so nothing slips. START FROM YOUR ADDRESS BOOK Import the people you already know from your phone's Contacts, or add them by hand. You'll have a populated home screen in a couple of minutes. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Orbit has no account, no sign-up, and no server. Your data stays on your device and syncs across your own devices through your private iCloud account — which means nobody, including us, can read it. No analytics, no ads, no tracking, no third-party code of any kind. Export everything to a file whenever you want. Orbit is for anyone building a career on the strength of who they know: early-career professionals, career switchers, founders, job seekers, and anyone who has ever thought "I should really reach out to them" and then didn't.
