Press kit

Orbit is a free iPhone app that shows the people you love in the colour of their sky, so you always know who's awake. It tells you the next time you're both awake, lets you leave a ping they'll see when they wake up, and updates someone's time automatically when they travel. Orbit has widgets and an Apple Watch app, no ads and no tracking, and is made in Winnipeg, Canada, by Reid Valmestad.
