ORBYX
NEWThe trailer is out. Watch the sneak peek.

Every deadline,
in orbit.

Orbyx reads your team's e-mail, puts every deadline on one shared calendar and drafts each reply. When it isn't sure, it asks a person. Nothing goes out until someone presses Send.

A 52-second sneak peek of the real screens. Every person, e-mail and company in it is made up.

What it does

Every e-mail. Every deadline.
Every reply.

Orbyx is built for teams whose work arrives by e-mail and runs on dates. It does the sorting and the first draft. People make the calls.

Dashboard

Everything on one screen.

What is late, what is due today, what is waiting for review, the week ahead and the mail that came in. Each item sits on the calendar twice: the day it came in and the day it is due.

The Orbyx dashboard: counts for late, due today, this week and needs a look, a week calendar and the mail inbox.
Mail

It reads the mail.

Every e-mail gets a short summary in English, whatever language it came in, and is sorted by what it asks for. When Orbyx isn't sure, the e-mail goes to Needs a look. Orbyx will not guess.

An e-mail written in Spanish, tagged Spanish and Quote or proposal, with a one-line English summary and a Show in English link.
Replies

You press Send.

Orbyx suggests a reply in the sender's own language. Use it, change it, or ask for another. Nothing is sent until you press Send and confirm.

A suggested reply to a lunch invitation, marked 'Orbyx never sends on its own', with Reply with this, Copy reply and Try another.
Team

Live, together.

A note when new work comes in, chat with the people in your organization, and a history of who did what. Only the people in a chat can read it.

Orbyx messages: a Client team group chat with a reminder about a team meeting and a reply.
Privacy

Private by default.

Each person's work stays theirs. Anyone who wants to look has to give a reason, and the owner answers yes or no. A no goes in the security log. Every organization has its own separate workspace, with its own rules and templates.

A security notice: Jordan Ellis is attempting to view your private My Work folder. Allow access? With YES and NO buttons.
Themes

Make it yours.

Eight light themes and eight dark. Stark Platinum and Deep Obsidian are the defaults; the others add a scene behind your work and their own music. Pick one to see the dashboard in it.

Updates

Along the way.

What changed, newest first.

Real sign-in, a real inbox, any language

Google sign-in works, and Orbyx now reads a connected Gmail inbox in a test workspace with made-up people. It notes the language of each e-mail, translates on request and suggests replies in the sender's language. Replies go out only after you press Send and confirm.

Sixteen themes

Eight light and eight dark, each scene with its own music. Sounds for new mail, finished work and deadline alerts, each with its own volume.

The look is set

Stark Platinum by day, Deep Obsidian by night, the Split Core logo and the orbit. Plus the privacy vault: nobody sees your work unless you say yes.

First build

One shared core, with every organization in its own separate workspace that no other organization can reach.
