Someone in your orbit has a birthday today.

You're not a bad friend. Life is just busier than ever.

If you've ever struggled with…

  1. Keeping track of everyone's birthdays
    You found out from their Instagram story. At 9pm. On the day.
  2. Coming up with a gift at the last minute
    It's 11pm, the party's tomorrow, and you're three pages deep in “gifts for people who have everything”.
  3. Remembering what they told you last time
    They mentioned a new job, a trip, a sister's wedding… was it Lisbon or Lyon?

Orbit helps you show up for the people you love, by remembering the little things for you.

Add someone once. Orbit takes it from there.

A heads-up before every birthday

A reminder a week before and on the day, plus a widget that shows who's coming up.

Gift ideas, saved when they say it

Jot it down the moment they mention it. When the day comes, the list is waiting.

Notes that pick up where you left off

What's new with them, what they're looking forward to, and what to ask next time.

Everyone you love, in one web.

You're at the centre. Each person is a moon, linked to the people they're connected to: partners, parents, siblings, friends and colleagues. Tap anyone to see their birthday, how you know them and who they're linked to.

Someone in your orbit might like to hear from you.

A nudge, not a nag.

Birthday reminders are scheduled on your iPhone: on the day and a week before, or whenever suits you. Notifications don't show names unless you want them to. Choose how often you'd like to keep in touch with someone, and Orbit will gently remind you.

Birthdays, right on your Home Screen.

The Upcoming birthdays widget comes in small, medium and Lock Screen sizes. Choose what it shows: names and dates, dates only, or nothing at all.

Private by design, not just in the small print.
