What Orbit does

Everything you need to get done, in one place

Works with no account and no connection

Orbit is offline-first. Every task, drawer, reminder and calendar entry is stored on your phone and works in aeroplane mode, on a dead signal, or with no sign-in at all. Nothing is waiting on a server to load.

Repeating tasks tracked per day

Daily, weekly or monthly. Completion is recorded for each day separately, so ticking today off does not cancel tomorrow, and the calendar keeps a real history of the days you did it and the days you missed.

Drawers

Group tasks into drawers, each with its own colour and icon — 18 colours and 44 icons. Your top three drawers sit on the home screen; the rest live in All Drawers, where you can reorder them without dragging.

Deadlines, priority, notes and tags

A task can carry a deadline, a low, medium or high priority, free-form notes and as many tags as you need.

Reminders on your device

Four points of warning: at the start of the deadline day, an hour before, ten minutes before, and at the deadline itself. All scheduled on the device — no reminder is sent through a server.

Calendar view

See every day a task lands on, one-off and repeating alike, with completed and missed days marked.

Search

Search across task titles, notes and tags at once, so a half-remembered detail is enough to find something.

Home-screen widget

A widget in light and dark. Tick tasks off and switch between drawers without opening the app.

A tip at noon

One short productivity tip each day at noon in your own timezone. Nothing more than that.

Optional backup to your own Drive

If you want a copy off the device, Orbit can back up to a private application-data folder in your own Google Drive. It is optional, and it is the only cloud storage Orbit ever touches.

Your data stays yours

Orbit has no servers. Your backup goes to your own Google Drive.

There is no Orbit account, no Orbit database and no copy of your tasks on our side. Your tasks live on your phone. If you turn on backup, the copy goes to your own Google Drive — and nowhere else.

  • No Orbit serversTasks, drawers, notes and reminders are stored in local storage on your device. We never receive them.
  • Backup is optional and yoursOrbit writes a single backup file to the private application-data folder of your Google Drive. It counts against your storage quota, it does not appear in your normal Drive view, and we cannot read it.
  • The drive.appdata scope onlyThat scope can reach Orbit’s own backup file and nothing else. It cannot access any other file in your Drive.
  • No selling, no analytics, no advertising, no trackingOrbit runs no analytics SDK, shows no adverts and builds no profile of you. We do not read your tasks.
  • Reminders never leave the phoneNotifications are scheduled by Android on the device. Nothing about them is transmitted.
