Capture
Orbit captures every page you read — automatically, and entirely on your machine. No clipping, no saving, no filing.
Research memory that builds itself
Orbit remembers what you read, so you can find it again.
Obsidian makes you link by hand. Orbit just captures it as you read.
Ask about the betaConnect
Pages link themselves — by meaning, by the links you clicked, and by shared topics. Your reading becomes a graph without you drawing it.
Recall
Weeks later, type what you half-remember. Orbit finds the page — even if you can't recall the exact words.
Private by default
- Search and linking run on your machine. The embedding model is bundled with Orbit — no API key, no cloud, for everything it captures and finds.
- No accounts, no analytics. Nothing to sign up for. Nowhere to log in.
- Nothing leaves unless you turn the wiki on. The optional wiki sends the URLs and excerpts of pages you read to Claude — listed exactly in SECURITY.md.
- Writes a wiki of your research. Optional, uses Claude (Anthropic): session and concept pages grounded in what you actually read, with citations — yours to export as plain markdown.
