Stop being the only one who remembers what needs doing. Orbits is the family assistant that runs your household, both in-app, or from your family group chat — calendars, lists, reminders, meal planning, scheduling and more — so nothing falls through the cracks. • Works with the apps you already use — Two-way sync with your favorite apps like Gmail, Outlook, Apple Calendar and more. • Proactive, not reactive — Orbits notices patterns on its own. It learns your grocery list, your meal prep cadence, your weekly routines, and starts suggesting or doing things before you ask. • The family group chat, wrangled — Bit joins you and your family where you communicate best, and actions things that need doing without you even asking. • Built for the whole family — Real shared context, conflict management, and more; Orbits shows everyone what's next; no one needs to be nagged (and if they do, Bit will take care of it!) • Meal planning, without the headaches — Just ask Bit for a list of meals for the week and consider it done. Bit even accounts for leftovers! • Home upkeep on autopilot — Air filters, smoke alarm batteries, oil changes. Orbits remembers the boring stuff so you don't have to (and even calls the technician for you!) • Gets smarter the more you use it — The longer Orbits runs your household, the less you have to think about it.
