Problem
Families spend excessive time and money on household management tasks such as grocery shopping, calendar coordination, and routine service scheduling, often because information is fragmented across messages, separate apps, and manual reminders.
Solution
Orbits provides a unified platform that centralizes grocery lists, family calendars, and service scheduling into a single, always‑up‑to‑date hub. The shared grocery list syncs in real time and integrates with Instacart, allowing any household member to add items from their phone or automatically based on usage patterns, reducing duplicate trips and impulse purchases. Calendar events for all family members are consolidated, making it easy to see and coordinate schedules without switching apps. Routine home services, like HVAC maintenance, can be booked directly through the platform, with automated reminders for tasks such as school form submissions. By automating these everyday chores, Orbits frees families to focus on their daily moments while saving hours and reducing household expenses.

Orbits is aimed at multi‑person households—parents, caregivers, and shared‑living families—who need a single solution to manage shopping, schedules, and home services.
