Orbit gives kids their own messaging space with parental oversight, content filtering, and encryption so strong even we can't read it.
Orbit is purpose-built for family communication — no ads, no algorithms, no strangers.
Every message is encrypted using the Signal protocol. Not even Orbit can read your family's conversations.
Parents approve contacts, review flagged messages, and set per-child content filters — without reading every message.
Kids can only chat with family members and parent-approved friends. No strangers, ever.
Block inappropriate words, require message approval, or let conversations flow — per-child, your choice.
Typing indicators, read receipts, reactions, and instant delivery via WebSockets. Fast and familiar.
Each device gets its own encryption keys. Log in on a new phone, tablet, or hand-me-down — sessions stay isolated.
Three steps. No app store passwords required for kids.
Sign up, add your children, and connect with other parents you trust. Kids get a simple login code — no email needed.
When another family wants to connect, both parents must approve. Kids see only the people you've okayed.
Messages flow encrypted. Content filters catch anything iffy. Parents stay informed without hovering.
Most chat apps encrypt to keep corporations out. Orbit encrypts to keep everyone out — while giving parents the tools to keep children safe.
Only the sender and receiver can read messages. The server sees only encrypted data.
Orbit is built for kids of all ages. We believe parents know best when their children are ready to start chatting — so you decide when to hand them the keys. Your children, your choice, our pleasure.
Not by default. Orbit uses end-to-end encryption, so parents can't read message content on the server. However, content filtering can flag or require approval for messages before they're sent — giving parents oversight without surveillance.
Those apps are designed for adults. Orbit is built around the family graph — kids can only contact parent-approved people, and parents have fine-grained content controls. Plus, there are no ads, no stories, no algorithmic feeds.
Sign out remotely and encryption keys are wiped from the device. Create a new login code and your child can set up on a new device with fresh keys. Old sessions can't be compromised.
Orbit is free during the beta period. We plan to offer a generous free tier with optional paid plans for larger families and advanced features.
Orbit is available for iOS and Android. A web version for parents is planned.
