For freelance creatives whose work comes by word of mouth.
Your next job is already in your orbit.
You don’t lose people. You lose track of them.
Orbit shows you who’s drifting, before you’d think to look.
Julian RhodesThey just thought of someone else first.
I lost a client I’d worked with for years and never noticed it happening. No fallout, no bad job, we just stopped speaking. By the time I looked up, he’d been booking someone else for a year.
I built Orbit so I’d see it coming.
Everyone drifts outward.
That’s just time passing.
Core, Close, Peripheral, Drifting. Nobody gets sorted — people move as the months do. The only thing that brings someone back in is actually speaking to them.
You do the talking.
Orbit does the remembering.
You never update anything. You note a coffee, and watch them move back in.
Bring everyone in
Import from WhatsApp, a spreadsheet, or a screenshot of any list of names. The WhatsApp connection lasts ninety seconds and closes itself.
Everyone gets a starting position
Read from your WhatsApp history where there is one, set with a tap where there isn’t. Rough is fine. The map corrects itself as you log.
Your feed stays gentle
Orbit counts the silence quietly. People easing outward turn up in your feed as a soft prompt, never a red badge or an alert you have to clear.
Note what happened
A message, a call, a coffee, a job together. Each one pulls that person back in, and the bigger the moment the harder it pulls.
Moving straight out from you, one day at a time.
It is calm. It is private.
Every promise below is specific and checkable. No trust language, no small print.
Nobody else can see who you know. There is no shared directory, no team view, no discovery feed.
Orbit tells you to say hello. It never sends anything on your behalf, ever.
Your contacts are not a data set. No brokers, no advertisers, no training on your relationships.
Export the whole map as a spreadsheet whenever you like. Delete the account and it is gone within 24 hours.
Built for one kind of person. Deliberately.
If your work arrives because someone thought of you, this is for you.
