Orbit is the task and project manager built for freelancers and independent pros. Plan your day, keep every client and project in one place, send quotes and invoices, and let Orbi, your AI assistant, take care of the busywork on iPhone and iPad. YOUR DAY AT A GLANCE • A Home screen with today's focus, what's overdue, your ongoing work and what you're owed • Tasks with four priorities, statuses, due dates and times, tags, checklists, subtasks and repeating tasks • A calendar with Day, Week, Month and Agenda views, plus a feed you can subscribe to in Google, Apple or Outlook Calendar CLIENTS AND PROJECTS • Every client's contacts, projects, quotes, invoices and unbilled time on one page • Project progress, budgets by amount or hours, and what you really earn per hour GET PAID • Track time with a timer or add it later, then turn unbilled hours into an invoice • Send quotes your clients can accept or decline online — a yes becomes a project, then an invoice • Invoices with payment reminders, recurring invoices, and four layouts: Classic, Modern, Minimal and Bold • Log expenses with receipts and bill them to clients • Income and tax reports you can export as CSV or PDF ORBI, YOUR AI ASSISTANT Ask Orbi what to focus on, what's overdue or which invoices are still unpaid. Orbi looks things up across your work and lines up changes for you — nothing changes until you tap Apply. Your chat history stays on your device, and Orbi's AI providers don't train on your data. AUTOMATION Smart status keeps your tasks current on its own: start a timer and a task moves to In Progress, finish its last subtask and it moves to Done.

About

NeverLate Calendar

Read full description

Sometimes you forget. More often, time just slips away. Getting ready takes longer than it felt like it would, and you look up and you're already late. Regular calendars store when things are meant to happen. NeverLate is the calendar that actually gets you there. Most calendars only hold the start time and leave the rest to you. NeverLate works backwards from each event to tell you when to actually start moving, with the real time it takes already worked in. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT • Never guess when to leave. NeverLate works out your real travel time, including parking and the walk from the car to the door, and tells you the exact moment to go. • Know if you're on track, instantly. Open the app and you can see straight away whether you can relax or it's time to move, no mental math required. • An alarm you can't ignore. A quiet notification is easy to swipe away or sleep through, and that's how the things that matter get missed. For the events you can't miss, NeverLate sounds a real alarm, even when your phone is on silent. • Add events in seconds. Type a few words and NeverLate fills in the rest. Or snap a photo of a ticket, invite, or message and it reads the details for you. No retyping. MADE FOR THE WAY YOUR BRAIN WORKS NeverLate is built for people with ADHD and time-blindness: anyone who cares about showing up but keeps running late, and wants a calendar that does the work instead of adding to it. It won't nag or guilt-trip you. It's quietly on your side, helping you show up. It's your calendar, not another app to juggle. Your events sync through iCloud, so they show up in the calendar you already check. No more last-minute scramble. Just show up, on time and ready.
