Ten years of work,
scattered across a dozen drives.
Orbit pulls it into
one searchable memory.
A Search
Search the way
you remember.
Type how you'd describe the moment, not a filename. "Golden hour, outdoor, never posted" and it's in front of you. Orbit reads every frame on-device, so it understands what is actually in the photo.

B Rediscover
Find the photos
you forgot to post.
Orbit resurfaces your own work: never-posted gems, last spring's drive, the frame you forgot you shot. Your home screen feels alive, not like a file browser.
- Resurfaced from your archive, daily
- Never-posted, surfaced first
- Seasonal & on-this-day throwbacks
C Deliver
Answer any vendor
in seconds.
The florist wants their shots from the Smith wedding. Search the moment, select the keepers, and send. You answer before the email goes cold, and every vendor remembers who made it easy.
- Pull any vendor's best frames fast
- Filter by event, moment, or color
- One link to deliver, no digging

The whole idea,
in twenty-six seconds.
No setup and no folders. Watch a full archive go from scattered across a dozen drives to one answer, in a single search.
What photographers say.
"A planner asked for every shot of the florals from the reception. I searched it, found them, and sent the gallery before the night was even over."
"Ten years of weddings across four drives, finally in one place. I found never-posted gems from 2019 I'd completely forgotten I shot."

Answers
Who is Orbit for?
Wedding and event photographers with years of work spread across drives, exports, and old backups. If you have ever lost a photo you know you shot, Orbit is for you.
Is it really free?
Yes. The Mac app is free, with no account and no subscription. Download it and start searching. An optional account adds cloud sharing and sync, but the app itself stays free and local.
Does my library leave my Mac?
No. Orbit reads and indexes your photos entirely on-device. Nothing is uploaded. Your archive stays exactly where it already lives.
How does the search work?
Type how you remember a photo, not a filename. Orbit understands what is in each frame, so you can ask by moment, color, vendor, or vibe, like "golden hour ceremony, never posted."
Do I have to tag everything first?
No. Orbit works out of the box from what is in your photos. Tags are optional, for when you want your own labels like #first-look or a client's name on top of natural search.
What files does it support?
RAW (CR2, CR3, NEF, ARW, DNG), JPEG, HEIC, TIFF, and PNG. Orbit reads them in place and never moves, renames, or changes your originals.
Can I share photos with clients or vendors?
Yes, with an optional free account. Create a link to a gallery or a vendor's shots and send it. Without an account, the app still works fully offline.
