Children get a real, social messaging app that feels like theirs. Parents get the controls and visibility to feel genuinely comfortable with that. No unrestricted phone. No open inbox. No friend-of-a-friend surprises. Only your family can read it Every message is sealed on the sender's phone and opened only on the recipient's phone. Orbit cannot read what your family sends, and neither can anyone else. Parents are recipients of their child's chats, not server-side eavesdroppers. Our servers only ever see locked-up messages, never the actual words. Mack, your on-device safety guard Mack runs right on your child's phone, never in the cloud. He checks messages for bullying, hate speech, sexual content, scams, shared personal info, self-harm and grooming, all without sending a single word to a server. Mack is included on every plan and is never paywalled. A crisis safety net that always stays on If Mack spots signs of self-harm or distress, your child sees a gentle helpline card and you get alerted. Crisis support is always on, on every plan. You choose who's in the circle Orbit is a closed network. The grown-ups in both families have to agree before a conversation opens. You decide exactly who your child can talk to and can suspend or withdraw consent at any time. Controls that fit YOUR child Set safety mode per child: hold messages for approval, block, or let them flow. Toggle moderation categories, add your own watchlist words, set screen time and quiet hours. Choose a supervision level from Guarded to Standard to Open, and change it as your child earns trust. The chat experience kids actually want Typing indicators, read receipts and the familiar feel of a real messenger. Everything they already know how to use, without the parts that worry you. All of these features can be disabled per child too. Works across your devices Phones, tablets and shared devices. If a device is lost, sign it out and it forgets everything. No ads. No infinite feeds. No data mining. No selling your family's information. Ever. Orbit is free to start, with paid plans for families who want more. Safety is never behind a paywall. Safe, encrypted chat for families.
