Orbit brings your whole life onto one dashboard. Instead of hopping between ten apps to see what matters, Orbit overlays your calendar, reminders, health, weather, people, money, and more onto a single Today screen — then surfaces what actually needs you. ONE DASHBOARD, EVERY HORIZON Switch between Today, This Week, This Month, and This Year to see what's coming — an appointment weeks out, a bill due, a birthday — across every area at once. CAPTURE ANYTHING, INSTANTLY One box. Type or dictate, and Orbit's on-device AI files it as a task, note, idea, quote, or person. No folders, no friction. ASK ORBIT A private, on-device assistant that answers from your own data, plus a daily summary of your day. ORBIT NOTICED Insights that connect two parts of your life no single app sees — a birthday during a busy week, poor sleep before a demanding day, a bill due while you're traveling. EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE • Calendar & Reminders — your events and lists, with inline complete • Health — activity rings, steps, heart rate, and sleep • Weather — current conditions, forecast, and threshold alerts • People — birthdays, important dates, and who to reconnect with • Money — App Store sales, a stock watchlist, a retirement forecast, and bills • Projects, Content, Travel, Garage, Journal, Library, Email, Deliveries, and more WIDGETS EVERYWHERE One configurable Orbit widget in every size — Home Screen and Lock Screen. Pick what it shows, check off reminders and routines without opening the app, and it follows your theme in Light and Dark. WORKS WITH APPLE Siri, Shortcuts, Spotlight, Handoff, and interactive widgets — no setup. Just say "Hey Siri, capture in Orbit." BUILT FOR EVERY DEVICE iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple TV, synced over your private iCloud. PRIVATE BY DESIGN There's no Orbit account and no Orbit server.
