The orbiTome animation: the word YOU becomes a person, and the people around move into orbit
The name

orbit to me.

The name comes from a phrase: orbit to me. You are at the centre; around you, the people you already know. The animation beside this is the one that opens the app: YOU becomes a person, the person fills with other people, and those people move into orbit.

  • You are at the centre.What orbits around you are the people already in your address book — plus the public events of cities and associations. orbiTome isn't here to widen your circle: it's here to make something happen inside the one you already have.
  • The open arms.An invitation, not a broadcast: you decide who sees the event. If you make it invisible, only the people you invited can see it.
  • What orbits, passes.The event disappears from the cloud shortly after it ends. You stay, and so does the memory on your phone.

An app that respects you
enough not to use you.

Most apps want to keep you glued to the screen: orbiTome wants you out there, living it.

Why it's different

Three things we do
differently.

🔒

Your contacts stay on your phone

Event history, contacts and groups live on your phone. To find friends already on orbiTome, only the first part of a fingerprint of the numbers reaches our servers, not your address book: the final match happens on the phone.

Contacts, groups and archive on your phone

Real Ephemerality

It's not just marketing. Every event is set to disappear from the cloud shortly after it ends. Recovery isn't part of the current architecture.

Invite even people without the app

An empty event is sad. orbiTome generates universal links to invite even those who don't have the app — what, when and where show up right in the browser; to say they're in, they get the app, free.

Step by step

From pocket to
shared moment.

Five steps. From intent to event.

Sign in with your phone number
Enter your phone number, receive a code, you're in. No email, no account to create. Simple.
🔐 Just your number, no password
The map fills itself
On first login orbiTome recognises friends already on the app — your address book is not uploaded to a server. Your contacts stay on your phone.
📇 Your contacts stay on your phone
Create the event in three steps
Step one: the pin on the map. Step two: emoji, title and time. Step three: your tags (e.g. "Football") and invisibility, if you want it. You save, and sharing opens: you choose which app to send the link with.
⚡ Three guided steps
You reply, then you say you're there
Before the event you reply “I'm in” or “I'm out”. Once it is under way you tap “I'm here” and the people waiting for you see it; when you leave, “I'm off”.
📍 At most two replies on screen
Automatic expiry & private Vault
The event disappears from the cloud shortly after it ends. Your history stays only on your phone, in your private Vault.
🔒 Stored only on your phone · optional backup
Invisible event

The event you create.
Visible only to those you invite.

One toggle. When it is invisible, the event doesn't show up for your other contacts. Try it yourself.

👻 Invisible event: ON

Event countdown (example)
The expiry depends on how you create the event: standard, "tonight", or a date you pick. When it expires, the event disappears from the cloud. Your Vault remembers it.
