What is Orbit, exactly?

A private relationship manager for real life that helps you remember people, notice drift, and follow through.

Isn't this just a CRM for friends?

No. Orbit is for real relationships, not pipelines, streaks, or performance.

Because it offers a humane scale for relationships. Orbit uses it as a guide, not a rule.

Yes. Orbit is local-first, exportable, and private by design.

About Orbit

A relationship manager for the people you keep close.

Orbit helps you remember who matters, notice drift, and follow through gently. It is a calm, local-first app for iPhone, iPad, and Android, not a feed, CRM, or team database.

The problem

Why does maintaining relationships sometimes feel like rocket science?

Because closeness has variables: time, distance, memory, calendars, old context, and the quiet people you still care about. Orbit turns that complexity back into one small next step.

The mission

Most software treats attention as something to capture. Orbit treats it as something to return to the people you love.

The app is intentionally small: your people map, Conversations, Moments, Gather, and relationship Rhythm. Each part is there to help you act with care, not perform connection for an audience.

Principles

The shape of the product follows the shape of the promise.

Local-first

SQLite on your phone is the source of truth. Optional sharing surfaces add to your data; they do not replace it.

User-authored

Moments come from what you choose to remember, not scraped email, texts, calendars, or social feeds.

Single-player

No team graph, warm-intro marketplace, or networking layer. The relationship is yours to tend.

Calm follow-through

No streaks, badges, or growth dashboards. Drift is visible enough to help, quiet enough to respect you.

Begin with your people map.

Open Orbit, start a Conversation, and keep the small details of real relationships in view.
