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. The features described above require an Orbits subscription, available as an in-app purchase. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Since remembers the recurring things that never quite belong on a normal to-do list. Changing the sheets. Replacing a toothbrush. Testing the smoke alarms. Add something once, choose how often it should happen, then mark it Done when you actually do it. Since schedules the next time from there, so your routines move with real life instead of slipping out of sync with a fixed calendar. Open the app and you can see what’s due, what needs attention today and what can wait. • Repeat routines every few days, weeks or months • Mark something Done and let the next due date move automatically • See a simple Due, Today and Later view • Add an optional reminder notification at the time you choose • Edit, remove or undo without turning your life into a project plan • Sync your routines with iCloud, with no separate account required Since is for the little recurring jobs you want handled, without keeping all of them in your head.
