Write messy.
Find the patterns later.
Dump every thought — work, life, half-formed ideas — into one private place. Then ask it questions, and watch your patterns and decisions surface over time.
iPhone, iOS 17+. Free to download — Orbit Pro is optional.
Open straight into writing.
No prompts, no structure, no streaks. The keyboard's up and the page is blank. Get the thought down — clean it up never.
Your days, as a quiet trail.
Every thought lands on a calm, scannable timeline — searchable, never a feed, never demanding. Just your thinking, in order.
Question your past self.
Ask Orbit anything and it reads back across everything you've written — answering in your own words and citing the days it came from. A weekly synthesis lands on its own.
Catch the thought before it's gone.
From your lock screen, a word to Siri, the Action Button — Orbit's open before you've finished the sentence.
Private by default
Your thoughts stay yours. Never a feed, never sold, never used to train anyone's model.
Yours to keep
Export everything or delete it all in a tap, any time. No lock-in, no hostage data.
No streaks, no nagging
Orbit never buzzes for your attention. Open it when you think — and only then.
Not a diary — a mind you can search.
Every thought you have — work or life — stays private to you. Ask it, export it, or delete it all, any time.
I think in fragments — a note at 1am, a half-idea in a meeting, the same worry three weeks running. The tools I had were great at storing all of it and useless at showing me what it meant. Folders don't notice you've circled the same decision five times.
So Orbit is the opposite of a tidy notes app. Write messy, never organize, and let it read back across everything when you ask. It's small, private, and built by hand — not a wellness app, not a feed. Just a mind you can search.

Questions, answered.
What is Orbit, exactly?
A private place to dump every thought — work, life, half-formed ideas — without organizing any of it. Later you ask Orbit questions and it reads back across everything you've written, answering in your own words and citing the days it came from.
How is this different from Apple Notes or Notion?
Those are great at storing notes and leave the thinking to you. Orbit's whole point is the layer on top: recall, ask, and patterns. You never file or tag anything — you just write, and ask later. See how it compares to Apple Notes, Notion, and Day One.
Is my writing private?
Yes. Your thoughts stay yours — never a feed, never sold, never used to train anyone's model. You can export everything or delete all of it at any time. See our privacy policy for the details.
What does it cost?
Orbit is free to download, and capture is never limited — write, browse your timeline, and search as much as you like. The free tier includes 3 Asks a month and your weekly review email. Orbit Pro ($4.99/month, or $49.99/year to save 16% — US pricing — your local price shows in the app) unlocks unlimited Ask, every pattern Orbit finds, and on-demand reviews and drafts. Your data stays exportable either way. See the full comparison.
What platforms does it run on?
iPhone first — on the App Store, iOS 17 and up. More surfaces are on the roadmap, but the goal is always one calm place to think, not ten.
Do I have to write every day?
No. There are no streaks, prompts, or reminders by design. Open Orbit when a thought shows up. If a week goes quiet, nothing nags you.
Who's behind it?
A small, independent team — built by hand, not a VC content mill. Questions go straight to a human: [email protected].
