Leaving the feed? Good.

Orbit is what social looks like when you're the customer instead of the crop.

What you're leaving behind

The old way
Orbit
An algorithm decides which friends you see
Your orbits are chronological, you see the people you chose, always
Ads wedged between your friends' lives
Zero ads. Not fewer. Zero
Your attention is the product being sold
The app is the product. You're the customer
Engagement metrics engineered to keep you scrolling
No public follower counts, no viral mechanics, no strangers
Your data feeds ad profiles and AI training
No trackers, no data sales, no training on your content, and our privacy policy says so in plain English
"Delete" that isn't really delete
Deletion is immediate and permanent. Export everything first with one tap

Built for the exit

  • End-to-end encrypted messages , keys live on your device; we physically cannot read them. See the privacy policy.
  • Private by architecture , invite-only orbits, no public graph, no search-strangers.
  • Everything we know about you fits in one ZIP , Settings → Export my data, emailed to you, and the export shows what isn't there: no location, no contacts, no ad profile, no tracking history. What we don't collect.
  • Moderated like we mean it , real prohibited-content rules, human-decided enforcement, zero tolerance for child exploitation. How we moderate.
  • Works when the network doesn't , thoughts you write offline queue on your device and send when you're back. More offline is coming; your words shouldn't need a connection to exist.
  • 18+ only , this is a space for adults who chose to be here.

For families: kids in the photos, not on the platform

Your kids' childhood belongs in a private orbit, not on a public feed.

Orbit is 18+ by design. Your kids don't get accounts here, and that's the point. You create the family orbit; the adults who love them join it: the other parent, grandparents, aunts and uncles. The recital video, the beach weekend, the first day of school: posted once, seen only by the people you invited, and nothing else happens to it.

  • No strangers. Invite-only, no public profiles, no discovery, nobody your family didn't choose.
  • No companies. No ad profile is built on your eight-year-old. No engagement data. No tracking pixel following your family around the internet.
  • No models. Your kids' faces are not training data. We don't train AI on your content. It's in our privacy policy, in writing.
  • No leaks by design. Metadata (location, device info) is stripped from every photo before it leaves your phone. There's no re-share button. If someone screenshots, you're notified.
  • Kids can still watch. Show them the family orbit on your phone. They see grandma's reaction; they're part of it, without an account, a profile, or a data trail that follows them to adulthood.

When they're old enough to choose social media for themselves, they'll inherit something rare: a childhood that was never public.

Bring your people

Orbit doesn't import your follower graph. That's the point. You start with the people who matter enough to invite. One orbit, a handful of people, and the group chat that actually feels like your friends again. Invite with a QR code from your profile; they're in before the kettle boils.
