Orbit puts everyone you email on one map

Orbit, a free web app we built for Gmail, shows who is waiting on your reply, who to follow up with and who you have lost touch with.

Orbit and its one-line pitch beside a screenshot of its home page: "Everyone you email, on one map".

Orbit is a web app we built and run for people who live in Gmail. Orbit reads your Gmail and shows who's waiting on you, who to follow up with, and who you've lost touch with. Then you reply right from the map.

Orbit's home page as it is live today, with the map underneath: 20 people across 4 areas, and the needs reply, follow up and reconnect lists along the top.

Free, with AI when you want it

  • The map, the needs reply, follow up and reconnect lists, replies, templates and history are free.
  • Orbit AI is free for 7 days, then $12 a month or $96 a year. It drafts replies and catch-up notes.
  • You send every reply, follow-up and catch-up note yourself. Orbit never sends on its own.

Your email stays yours

Orbit connects with an app password you can turn off any time, never your Google password, and keeps it encrypted. Your email isn't sold, shared for ads, or used to train AI, and each account has its own private map.
