We build software the way
it used to be made.
Independent, performance-obsessed, and subscription-free. Here is why we started OrbitBy and what we stand for.
The Problem: Software Exhaustion
A few years ago, we noticed something troubling with modern desktop and productivity tools. Simple utilities were turning into bloated 300MB web wrappers that chewed through battery, sent background analytics to third-party ad networks, and demanded a recurring monthly subscription just to perform basic tasks.
You shouldn't have to pay $10 every month to clean temporary build files from your SSD or view a mini-calendar on your MacBook. Software used to be a tool you bought once, cherished, and kept in your digital toolbox for years.
We created OrbitBy to bring that feeling back.
How Our Tools Came to Life
Every app we build starts as an answer to our own daily frustrations as creators and engineers:
NotchAstra
VisitWhen Apple introduced the MacBook camera notch, everyone complained about the black cutout. We saw an opportunity: why not turn that dead space into a dynamic, interactive command deck? We wrote NotchAstra in pure Swift 5.9 with Metal rendering so it runs at 120 FPS ProMotion with zero battery drain.
SpaceKeeper
VisitAs developers, our SSDs were constantly full of 50GB of hidden Xcode DerivedData, abandoned Docker layers, and node_modules. Existing cleaners were bloated, subscription-based, or inaccurate. We engineered SpaceKeeper with APFS physical block precision to sweep and reclaim gigabytes in sub-seconds safely.
PageWise
VisitWe read dozens of non-fiction books every year, but finding time for a 300-page book is tough. PageWise distills the world's best non-fiction ideas into 15-minute actionable summaries and flash highlights, making deep learning accessible every day.
