iPhone
You have hundreds of contacts. You talk to maybe twelve. Orbit gives you one name a day. Reach out, log it, done. The rest compounds on its own.
You have 400 contacts. You talk to 12.
Orbit doesn't fix that with more features. It fixes it with less. One person a day. That's the entire system.
Open the app. See a name. Reach out. Log it in 10 seconds. Close the app. That's it. The rest happens on its own. The compounding, the serendipity, the people who start showing up for you because you showed up for them first.
HOW IT WORKS
Add people to your Orbit. Not all of them. The ones that matter. Classify each one as a strong tie, a weak tie, or a dormant connection. Orbit suggests one person each day based on who needs attention, who's been quiet too long, who you've been avoiding without realizing it.
The suggestions rotate in three-week waves. Nurture: your closest people. Expand: the ones slipping away. Give back: connect two people who should know each other. You don't manage any of this. It runs in the background. You just see one name.
THE DAILY LOOP
See the name. Reach out however feels right. A coffee, a call, a message, a meal. Tap to log. Add a note if you want. Done. Your streak grows. Your orbit widens.
WHAT ORBIT TRACKS
A streak counter. Days since last contact for every person. A weekly view of your rhythm. A monthly reflection showing who you reached, how you reached them, and where your orbit is out of balance. Numbers, not graphs. Facts, not gamification.
WHAT ORBIT DOESN'T DO
No social feed. No contact sync. No birthday reminders. No AI-generated messages. No templates. Orbit will never write a message for you. The whole point is that you do it yourself, in your own words, in your own time.
THE PHILOSOPHY
Orbit was built on one idea: the most valuable network isn't the biggest one. It's the most tended one. A coffee with an old friend compounds more than a thousand LinkedIn likes. Showing up once a month beats disappearing for a year. Consistency is the only strategy that actually works in relationships.
Every time you open Orbit, a mantra appears. Not a notification. Not a motivational quote. A quiet line about what it means to stay close to people. Then it fades, and you see today's name.
THE DESIGN
Concentric arcs inspired by Josef Müller-Brockmann's 1955 Beethoven poster. Inner ring for strong ties, middle for weak, outer for dormant. The arcs slowly rotate, always alive. Everything else is monochrome. No color. No icons. Just text, numbers, and the arcs.
It doesn't feel like a productivity app. It feels like opening a private journal.
WHO IT'S FOR
People who built a network and then forgot to maintain it. Freelancers whose best work comes from referrals they never ask for. Anyone who knows that relationships matter but doesn't have a system for it.
You don't need more contacts. You need more contact.
