Friends and friends of friends. Nobody else.

Know where your people will be.

Maya, within a few miles. You both know Dani.
Near you

See who's close, and who you both know.

Open Orbit and see which of your friends are within a few miles, along with friends of friends you have not met yet, and the friend drawn between you.

It is for the town you live in and the one you just landed in.

Cal asked to join Natalie's plan. Only you connect them. Vouch for Cal, or not now.
Introductions

The friend you share makes the introduction.

Ask to meet someone, or to join their plan, and the friend you have in common hears first. If they say yes, you are connected. If not, nobody ever knows you asked.

Not an algorithm. A person who knows you both.

Plans: a London trip hosted by Maya, 3 going, 2 you know, and sunset at the point
Plans and trips

Post it once. See who's in.

Put up a plan and your circles see it. No group chat, no chasing replies. Polls for the Airbnb, plans that repeat every week, and the morning after, the album.

Add your next trip and the friends heading the same way, and the friends who live there, hear about it.

Private by design

Near your people. Not on a map for everyone.

Blurred, never exact

Friends see the neighbourhood you are in, rounded to about a kilometre. Never your street, never your door.

Off until you turn it on

Location sharing is your choice, every time. Switch it off and your position is deleted.

Friends and their friends

That is as far as your location ever travels, and it is enforced in the database, not just hidden in the app.

Getting in

Orbit is invite only, on purpose.

1

Get a link

Ask a friend who is on Orbit for their invite link. Every member has one.

2

Arrive connected

Open it and you are friends with them the moment you sign up. No requests to wait on.

3

Bring your people

Find friends from your contacts and pass on your own link. Two friends and you get the blue check.

Your people are closer than you think.

Free on iPhone. Have an invite link? Open it after you install and you will be connected.
