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/

About

Jade Email

Read full description

Giving out your email address shouldn’t be permanent permission to reach you. Jade lets you use a different address for each company or service on a domain you own. The address you give Netflix is separate from the one you give your dentist. If one starts receiving mail you no longer want, you can cut it off without disturbing the others. When mail first arrives at an address, it appears as an inbox in your account. You decide how new mail is handled in each one. Jade can file a receipt automatically, mark a newsletter read, attempt to unsubscribe from unwanted marketing, or delete a message on the schedule you choose. Reuse the same rules wherever they make sense. Categories can collect receipts from every store or travel details from every booking, even though the messages arrived at different addresses. When Jade finds a verification code or package-tracking number, it puts it above the message, ready to copy or open. Connect an AI assistant through MCP and ask it to find mail, summarize what you missed, organize messages, change rules, or send a reply.
