Orbit is a gentle, private way to stay close to the people who matter. Every contact becomes a planet in your personal solar system. You're the sun. The closer a friend orbits, the more often you want to catch up. Watch them drift when life gets busy, and glow again when you reach out. No accounts. No ads. No analytics. Private sync through your iCloud. WHY ORBIT The people who drift out of your life don't leave in one big moment — they fade. A missed text. A postponed coffee. A "we should catch up soon" that stretches into a year. Orbit is the quiet infrastructure around your friendships. It doesn't replace them. It just makes sure the ones you care about stay visible. HOW IT WORKS • Add the people you want to stay close to — by hand or from your Contacts • Set how often you'd ideally catch up — weekly for best friends, monthly for old uni mates, quarterly for family you don't see enough • Log meetings, calls, and texts with a tap. Orbit tracks the rest • Glance at your solar system any time to see who's healthy (green), drifting (amber), or overdue (red) FEATURES • A beautiful, animated solar system of your closest people • Health-based colours that update in real time as your relationships breathe • Long-Distance mode that rewards calls and texts differently from in-person meetings • Meeting diary with date, photo, location, and notes • Home-screen widgets that show who needs attention — right from your lock screen • Gentle, local notifications — never spammy • Comets for casual encounters and people you want to know better • Constellations (tags) to group friends by context: family, work, travel, gym • Stats and a full diary of every interaction • Supports both light and dark mode • Private iCloud sync across your Apple devices PRIVACY THAT ACTUALLY MEANS SOMETHING Orbit has no developer-operated backend. No user accounts. No analytics, crash reporters, advertising, or tracking SDKs. Your relationships, notes, and photos stay on your devices and sync through your private iCloud container. Beyond Tomorrow Studios cannot access them. NOT FOR MARKETERS, NOT FOR ADVERTISERS, NOT FOR CRM Orbit isn't a contact manager or a sales tool. It's for the twelve people whose birthday you actually want to remember. For the friend whose life changed while you weren't paying attention. For the grandparent you mean to call.
