Run your life, not your tools. Now from your pocket. Orb is the AI that works like a thoughtful chief of staff. It tells you what matters and prepares the work before you even ask — so you can stop switching between six tools and a separate AI chatbot, and focus on what only you can do. Why people use Orb Stay on top of your day. Orb helps you triage your inbox, summarize long threads, and turn scattered notes into clear next steps — all in one place. Think out loud, get real answers. Ask Orb anything, from a quick fact-check to a full first draft, and get a response that's actually useful, not generic. Keep your context. Orb remembers your projects and preferences across conversations, so you don't have to re-explain yourself every time. Work the way you already do. Orb fits into your existing workflow instead of asking you to change it — connect your calendar, documents, and favorite apps, and let Orb handle the busywork. Manage what matters Orb connects to the tools you already use — Google Calendar, Gmail, Google Drive, Slack, Notion, Microsoft Teams, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, and Telegram — and brings the important parts of each into a single view, prioritized and ready to act on. Your data is yours, only Orb never trains AI models on your data. Your information is never shared, not even within your own workspace. Every connection is secured, everything is encrypted, and data is hosted in Europe. No action is ever taken without your explicit approval — you're always in control. Built for people who run on too many tools If your day is spread across a calendar, an inbox, three chat apps, and a notes tool, Orb brings it back into one place — prioritized, prepared, and waiting for your yes.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: GetOrb at Free against Photo Measures's $6.99. GetOrb also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months). Photo Measures's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#69 vs unranked). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
