That knot in your stomach when they don't answer? Orbit takes it from here.
Agree on the places and times that matter. Orbit keeps watch in silence, and the moment something looks off, it checks in with your son first.
Free for 2 people · SOS always free · Ready in minutes
You know these moments.
The minutes when your mind goes straight to the worst place. Orbit was built for exactly these.
School · 1:20 PM
She should have been at school by 1:15.
Orbit has already asked her if she's okay. If she needs help or doesn't answer, you're the next to know.
His phone · 8%
His battery is dying and he's still out.
Orbit warns you when someone's phone is running low during a routine, before the silence starts.
Night out · 11:40 PM
She said she'd be home by midnight.
Make Friday's “home by midnight” a plan. If she isn't home, Orbit checks in with her before you have to.
On the road · 10:15 PM
He's driving home late, and it's raining.
No texting him at the wheel. When he arrives, you hear nothing. Orbit only speaks up if he doesn't.
Mom · 8 AM walk
Mom walks alone every morning, across town from you.
Add her routine once. If she isn't back when she usually is, Orbit asks her first and tells you if she needs you.
First time alone
It's his first time taking the bus by himself.
Give him freedom and stay in the loop. His SOS button alerts the whole family circle. Free, always.
One Tuesday with Julia.
School by 1:15 PM. Watch what happens when she's late — and how little you have to do.
Tuesday · Julia
Following the routine
12:30 PM Julia leaves for school. Nothing happens on your phone. That's how it should be.
A few minutes to set up. Peace of mind every day after.
No tech skills needed. If you can send a WhatsApp message, you can set up Orbit.

Hear about it the moment it matters

- SOS alerts your circle, always free
End the worry loop.
Without Orbit, you're on duty all day.

With Orbit, you can finally put the phone down.

Questions
A family safety app built around routines, not a live map. A routine is a place and an arrival window — like school by 1:15 PM. Find My and Life360 answer “where are they right now?” Orbit stays quiet while the plan holds, and speaks up only when something looks off.
If a routine looks off, Orbit asks them first: “I'm okay,” “Running late,” or “Need help.” You are notified only if they ask for help or don't reply in time. Silence means the plan is working. Teens approve what they share and can pause location at any time.
Then you're alerted. If someone doesn't reply in time, or taps “Need help,” Orbit notifies the people in your circle so you can act right away.
Orbit is designed so they don't. They approve what they share, can pause location at any time, and get the chance to answer a check-in before you're alerted. It's an agreement, not a tracker.
No. Most families are set up in a few minutes: invite your people by WhatsApp, text, or link, add a place like home or school, and pick an arrival time. That's it.
