App context guide
A different shape for staying close.
A private relationship companion, built around human-scale circles, quiet memory, gentle drift awareness, and one small next step.
Orbit model
Relationships have shape.
Orbit uses the familiar 5 / 15 / 50 / 150 pattern as a humane map for attention. It helps you see closeness without turning people into points.
5Closest people, The few relationships closest to daily life.
15Deep support, The people you actively trust, support, and return to.
50Active friends, Friends, regulars, collaborators, and people worth noticing before drift.
150Meaningful circle, The wider human-scale circle you still want to keep in view.
5 / 15 / 50 / 150Guide, not score
Product loop
See. Remember. Notice. Act.
Orbit is a loop for care, not a feed. It keeps the next step small enough to actually do.
01
Capture and remember
Add people naturally and keep the private details that make the next hello warm.
02
Understand closeness
Place relationships in human-scale circles instead of a flat contact list.
03
Notice drift
See when a relationship is getting quiet before silence becomes the default.
04
Take one small step
Turn intention into a memory, question, invite, plan, reminder, or choice to let it rest.

Adding people
Start with real people, not a data import.
Orbit works best when the first step feels human. Add one person, place them by closeness, and let the map become useful gradually.

Privacy
A private place for real relationships.
Orbit should feel safe enough for real memory. The product stance is simple: no feed, no audience, no relationship performance layer.
People over contacts
Every person is a story, not a row in a database.
Plans over feeds
Friendship grows through small follow-through, not endless scrolling.
Gentle reconnection
A small hello can reopen a thread without pressure.
Privacy by design
Your relationships are yours. Orbit stays quiet.
Export
Your relationship data should leave with you.
Export is part of the product philosophy: Orbit can help you remember and act without trapping your relationships inside someone else's system.

Dunbar is a guide
The 5 / 15 / 50 / 150 model gives Orbit a humane scale. It is not a score or a rule.
Strong ties matter
Orbit focuses on existing relationships: the people already carrying meaning in your life.
Loneliness is measurable
The product avoids clinical claims, but it is designed around the real cost of disconnection.
