Orbit helps you turn a passing thought into a shareable plan you can review with friends. PLACE MATCH Say “dinner at home tonight”, “coffee with Maya”, or “plan a day out this weekend”. Orbit gathers the useful details, finds grounded options, and shows you a proposal before anything is shared or changed. HOW IT WORKS 1. Describe the idea in ordinary language 2. Add a person, place, time, photo, or approved source only when useful 3. Review the stops, route, evidence, and provider status 4. Save the plan, open Apple Maps, draft a message or calendar event, or approve an available handoff 5. Go — open in Apple Maps or share the plan with your group TRIP PACKS Start from ready-made plans for a destination, beginning with Bali. Save curated places into My Places, add day plans to Planner, and ask trip-specific questions like which day is best for sunset, what to do first, what to book ahead, or how to shorten the itinerary. SOLO, SHARED, AND GROUP PLANS Plan a day for yourself, coordinate with one person, or shape a group outing: - Smart Date: Auto-selects your top places based on favourites, visit frequency, and staleness - Build Route: Walk, drive, or transit directions between your stops with a timeline - Share Plan: Generate a 9:16 itinerary card for Stories, iMessage, or WhatsApp - Shared Plans: Invite people to review a proposal; Orbit never silently messages, shares location, or books on your behalf - Dinner at home: discover food options as read-only inspiration; ordering and payment require explicit provider approval SHAREABLE MOMENTS - Turn a passing thought into a clean plan card for Messages, WhatsApp, or Stories - Invite a friend to review the same proposal instead of forwarding a wall of links - Save the finished outing as a journal card with selected photos and evidence PROVIDER NETWORK AND GOODIES - Cleartrip, OLX, Swiggy, Maps, and future MCP providers appear only through verified, capability-scoped connections - Orbit can draft a travel or marketplace handoff, but does not silently book, buy, or pay - Optional Orbit-owned goodies may add plan-card themes, journal covers, stickers, widgets, and richer story previews - StoreKit goods apply to Orbit features, not external provider orders or merchant settlement PLACE INTELLIGENCE - Staleness Tracking: See which places you haven't visited in months - Exploration Score: Track how many new places you try vs. revisits - Taste Profile: Discover your top neighbourhoods and favourite categories TRIP HISTORY & JOURNAL - Save every planned route to History - Log past outings with photos, captions, and moods per stop - Journal any trip — generate a shareable journal card DEEP iOS INTEGRATION - Siri Shortcuts: "Suggest a place" or "How many places do I have?" - Spotlight Search: Find saved places from the home screen - Share Extension: Share supported links directly into Orbit - Background Visit Detection: Automatically logs places you visit Orbit uses SwiftUI, SwiftData, MapKit, App Intents, and ActivityKit. External actions are permissioned and approval-gated. Provider availability, live collaboration, account exchange, and payment depend on configuration and are not implied by this description.
