Sixteen years of work,
scattered across a dozen drives.

Orbit pulls it into
one searchable memory.

Point Orbit at your Pixieset downloads, Lightroom exports, and old drives. Nothing to rebuild, nothing to move.

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

Tag it your way. Add your own, like #first-look or #the-smiths, and they work right alongside natural search.

From the maker

Orbit is built by a working wedding photographer, for his own archive first. Sixteen years of Saturdays, every drive you can imagine. If a feature doesn't survive a real wedding week, it doesn't ship.

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.

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. Publish a gallery from Orbit and you get a private link anyone can open, view, and download from. Publishing is optional and per-gallery. Only the photos you choose to publish leave your Mac, and your originals stay put.
