Features
Everything you want to feel, nothing you don't
Orbit isn't trying to be a 40-tab analytics suite. It's the screen you leave open while you build, so you can see your work reach people.
- New sale +$99Lifetime deal · 🇺🇸 Austin via Product Hunt
- New sale +$19Starter · 🇯🇵 Tokyo via Google
- New sale +$49Pro plan · 🇩🇪 Berlin via X
Every sale, celebrated
When someone pays, Orbit plays a chime, throws confetti and shows who bought, what, and where they came from. You'll never refresh a payments dashboard again.
Your data stays with you
No cloud database. Events pass through a tiny relay straight to your computer and are saved there. No cookies, no IP addresses.
Works with your checkout
Paste Orbit's webhook link into your payment provider. It checks each provider's signature, so fake sales can't sneak in.

| Desktop app and floating mini globe | Mac and Windows | Usually a browser tab |
| Records while the app is closed | No, it's live only | Yes |

FAQ
Questions, answered
I kept opening my analytics tab twenty times a day just to see if anyone was there. Numbers in a table never felt like people. So I built a globe that lights up when someone visits, and cheers when someone pays.
Orbit runs on your computer, keeps your data with you, and costs less than a few months of a subscription. Pay once and it's yours.
Still have a question? Message me on X
How does Orbit get my visitors?
You paste one script tag into your site. When someone opens a page, the script sends a tiny message to Orbit's relay, which passes it straight to the Orbit app on your computer. The relay doesn't keep a copy.
Where is my data stored?
On your own computer, inside the Orbit app. There's no Orbit account and no cloud database, so nobody else can see your numbers.
Does Orbit need to stay open?
Yes. Orbit is live: it shows visitors while the app is open. Visitors who come while it's closed aren't recorded. Payment providers retry webhooks, so sales made while Orbit is closed usually show up when you open it again.
Will it slow down my website?
No. The script is about 2 KB, loads with defer so it never blocks your page, uses no cookies and stores no IP addresses. Location comes from the relay's network, not from tracking.
Which payment providers work?
Stripe, Polar, Dodo Payments, Lemon Squeezy, Paddle and RevenueCat. Paste the webhook link Orbit gives you into your provider and add your signing secret in Orbit. The secret stays on your computer.
Is it a replacement for my analytics tool?
For many small sites, yes: Orbit shows visitors, pages, sources, countries, revenue, goals and funnels. If you need deep reports for a big team, keep your analytics tool and run Orbit next to it for the live view.
What's the difference between Solo and Studio?
The number of websites. Solo ($19) covers 1 site, Studio ($49) covers up to 5. Every feature is in both.
Does it work on Mac and Windows?
Yes, there's an app for each. On a Mac, the first time you open Orbit, right-click the app and choose Open.
Your next visitor is on their way.
Set Orbit up in a minute and watch them arrive.
