The little details are all we have. Orbit helps you remember them - log moments with the people you care about, set a reminder for next time, and never lose touch with who matters. BUILD YOUR STORY A quick note after coffee. A reminder of what came up at dinner. Over time build a real picture of your friendships and what matters to the people in your life. STAY IN TOUCH Set a cadence for each person. Orbit nudges you when it's been a while, without making you feel bad about it. YOUR SOCIAL STATS The Me tab shows you your closest connections, your favourite moments, and friends you haven't seen in awhile. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No feed. No social graph. No ads. No tracking. What you log stays between you and the app. Orbit is for people who already care.
