Why Orbit

Orbit is built by friends who love to travel and got tired of how frustrating it can get. Here are the features we built that we wish we had on our trips.

The Orbit itinerary screen

One shared itinerary, collaborate in real time.

  • The whole plan on one day-by-day timeline
  • Edits sync to everyone, instantly
  • Down to the day, or the hour if you want
The Orbit getting around screen

Know how long each hop takes.

  • Walking and transit times between your stops
  • Recalculates itself when plans change
  • Directions to the next stop via Google Maps or Apple Maps
The Orbit ideas screen

Save ideas before they slip away. Decide later with your friends.

  • Save links, TikToks, social media posts, or any random thought
  • Tag your ideas so you can easily sort and find them later
  • When the team’s on board, move the idea into the itinerary
The Orbit expenses screen

Track expenses together. Settle up during the trip or at the end of the trip. It's up to you.

  • Orbit's algorithm simplifies the math. We find the simplest way for everyone to pay each other back
  • Track expenses in 150+ currencies
  • Export to CSV
The Orbit files screen

Every booking, ticket or file in one place.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

Is Orbit really free?

Yes. Orbit is free on iPhone, Android, and the web. No ads, no expense caps, no paywalls.

How do friends join a trip?

Send a unique link via Orbit or send them the unique trip code.

How do you plan a group trip with friends in Orbit?

Make a trip and invite the crew. Collect ideas on a shared board, turn the keepers into a day-by-day itinerary, and log expenses as you go. Everyone sees the same plan, live.

Can Orbit split travel expenses in different currencies?

Yes. Log expenses in 150+ currencies and split them equally, by amount, or by percent. Orbit tracks who owes who and works out the fewest transfers to settle up. You can also export the ledger to CSV from the web dashboard.

Can I import a trip I already planned somewhere else?

Yes. Upload a PDF or screenshots of your plans and Orbit builds the days for you. You review everything before it lands on the itinerary.

Does Orbit work on the web?

Yes. Trips work in the browser at app.orbitnow.app. Plan on a laptop, and friends without the app can follow the trip from a link.

Get the trip out of the group chat.

Bachelorette weekends, ski trips, family reunions, spring break. If it has a group chat, it belongs on Orbit.

Free for the whole crew. No ads, no expense caps, no paywalls.
