LUNRYX
NEWOrbyx is now Lunryx. Same look, new name.

Every deadline,
in orbit.

Lunryx reads your team's e-mail, puts each deadline on the calendar, and drafts a reply when you ask. When it isn't sure about something, it asks a person. Nothing goes out until someone presses Send.

Watch the trailer Follow the updates

This 53-second sneak peek shows the real screens in the new, simpler layout. It was made before the new name, so it still says Orbyx. Every person, e-mail, and company in it is made up.

What it does

Every e-mail. Every deadline.
Every reply.

Lunryx is built for teams whose work arrives by e-mail and runs on deadlines. It handles the sorting and the first draft, and people make the decisions.

Dashboard

Everything on one screen.

Three counts show how much of your own work is late, due today, and due this week. A fourth shows how many e-mails need a look. The calendar and the mail sit side by side, and it all fits on one screen. A row above the calendar switches it between Everyone, My work, and A person, which shows only what that colleague published. Work with a set time shows that time on the calendar and comes first on its day. An item that came in before the day it is due appears on the calendar twice: on the day it came in and on the day it is due.

The Lunryx dashboard: counts for late, due today, this week, and needs a look, with the week's calendar and its Everyone, My work, and A person picker beside the mail.
Mail

An inbox you can search.

Connect a Gmail or work Outlook mailbox, or both, and new mail shows up on its own. When Lunryx's AI reads an e-mail, it writes a short summary in English, whatever language the e-mail was written in. A conversation is one row, tagged Thread · 3, with every sender's name. Search looks through all the mail still in your inbox, Spam included. Press Confidential on an e-mail and it moves, with its conversation, to the Confidential tab, where only you see it. If its work is on the calendar, coworkers see at most “Confidential,” whose it is, and the day. When Lunryx isn't sure about an e-mail, it puts it in Needs a look. Lunryx will not guess.

The Lunryx inbox: tabs for Primary, Confidential, Spam, and Templates, a Search mail field, a Needs a look group, and e-mails with one-line summaries, including a conversation of 3 e-mails tagged as a thread.
Reading

The whole conversation.

Click an e-mail or a conversation and it opens in place of the list, like a mail app on a phone. You see everyone who wrote, the newest e-mail open, and the earlier ones as one line each. ← Inbox takes you back to where you were, and a reply you have started is kept while you look through other mail.

A conversation open in the reader: the subject, a count of 3 e-mails, both senders, the two earlier e-mails as one line each, and the start of the newest one.
Replies

You press Send.

Lunryx suggests a reply in the sender's own language. Use it, change it, or ask for another. The reply goes from your own Gmail or Outlook. When an e-mail asks for replies to go to a different address, Lunryx asks you who gets yours, the sender or that address, and Send waits for your answer. Nothing is sent until you press Send and confirm.

Work

Yours, and everyone's.

The My work page has four tabs. My work is your own list. Everyone's work is what people have published to everyone's calendar, with a name search and a person picker. Finished lists the file numbers whose work is all ticked off, newest first, so you can look one up and pick it up again. Report lists the work done, received, or due in a stretch of time you pick, as a table you can download for Excel. Hand a piece of work to a colleague, or tick it off when it is done. Nothing is deleted.

The Everyone's work tab, next to My work, Finished, and Report: a name search, a person picker, and everyone's published work with due dates and who has each piece.
Teams

A view for each team.

An organization can split its work into teams, such as Intake and Drafting, and one person can be on several. A bar at the top of the Dashboard and My work then lets you pick General, which is everything, or one team. The late, due today, and this week counts, the calendar, My work, Everyone's work, and the report follow it. A skill can say which teams it is for, and new work of that kind goes to one of them. Work added for a team by someone who is not on it waits, untaken, until someone presses Take it. Teams are added, renamed, or removed in Setup. A team view only narrows what you can already see, and removing a team deletes no work: its open work goes back to General.

Skills

Teach it your work.

Each kind of work you do is a skill. Describe it in your own words, say when it is due, and give it up to 20 documents and five e-mails. Lunryx checks with you before it takes a sixth document. Lunryx drafts from your description and the documents. A document can be your own Word or PDF template. Lunryx fills that very file from the e-mail, the folder of files for that work, and your notes. It leaves any blank it cannot fill for you to type in, and gives the file back as Word or PDF. A new organization can start with starter templates for its kind of work, to change as it likes. A saved draft is marked for review, and nothing it drafts goes out on its own.

Messages

Work together, live.

Lunryx tells you when new work comes in, lets you chat with the people in your organization, one-on-one or in groups, and keeps a history of who did what. Only the people in a chat can read it.

Privacy

Private by default.

Each person's work stays private until they publish it to everyone's calendar. Anyone who wants to see it has to give a reason, and the owner answers yes or no. Every refusal is recorded in the security log. Work marked Confidential stays closed even after a yes: only its person sees what it is. Each organization has its own separate workspace, with its own rules and templates.

The privacy vault's security notice: Jordan Ellis is attempting to view your private 'My Work' folder. Allow access? Below it are the reason Jordan gave and the YES and NO buttons.

Updates

Along the way.

Here is what has changed, newest first.

Orbyx is now Lunryx

We have a new name. Orbyx is now Lunryx, said LOON-rix. We changed it because other companies already use names like Orbyx, and we wanted one that is ours alone.

Only the name changes. The look, the logo, the music, and every theme stay just as they were, and so does the line “Every deadline, in orbit.” The screens on this page already show the new name. The trailer was made before the change, so it still says Orbyx until the new one is ready.

Holiday themes, and fresh screens on this page

Lunryx now has holiday themes for twelve holidays through the year, from New Year's to Kwanzaa. Each one has a day look and a night look, a moving scene, and its own song. You can pick one in Settings, under Appearance, while its season lasts, from a few weeks before the holiday until it is over. When the season ends, your usual themes come back, and nobody gets a holiday theme without picking it. Halloween is in season now.

The screens on this page now show the app as it is today: the calendar picker, the Confidential tab, the Finished tab, your own Word templates, and a new section on teams.

Confidential mail, Microsoft sign-in, templates, and teams

Here is everything that went in tonight.

  • Confidential. Mark an e-mail Confidential and it moves to its own tab. You can still put it on the calendar, and coworkers see at most “Confidential,” whose it is, and the day.
  • Set times. Work on the calendar can now have a set time.
  • Microsoft and Outlook. You can sign in with a Microsoft work account, and Lunryx reads and replies from Outlook as well as Gmail. When an e-mail asks for replies to go to a different address, Lunryx asks you who gets the reply.
  • Starter templates. A new organization can start with templates for its kind of work, such as client services, no-fault, immigration, or property management, to change as it likes. For a law organization, Lunryx notes that an attorney should read each one before anyone relies on it.
  • Your own templates. Drafts can be filled from your own Word or PDF templates.
  • Finished. A new tab in My work lists work that is all done, so you can look it up and pick it up again.
  • Calendar picker. The calendar can show everyone's work, your own, or one person's published work.
  • More reliable. Every new e-mail gets read, and a folder you drop in stays with the work it belongs to. Lunryx also says which files have no text to read, such as scans, and why.
  • Softer music. The music on the sign-in page and on this page now fades in gently instead of starting loud.
  • Teams. One organization can now have teams, such as Intake or Drafting, each with its own calendar and work. The General view of everything opens first. Add, rename, or remove teams in Setup, and choose which teams each skill is for. One person can be on several teams.

A new trailer

The new 53-second sneak peek shows the simpler screens: the dashboard, the inbox, adding a skill, drafts from templates, suggested replies, the privacy check, and the switch to dark. It has its own original soundtrack. Watch it at the top of this page.

A calmer, simpler Lunryx

Lunryx now shows less at once, with the same look. The dashboard fits on one screen. The mail is an inbox you can search, a conversation is one row, and e-mails open in a reader like a phone's. My work has tabs for your own work and everyone's, and each kind of work is now one skill with its own documents and e-mails.

The trailer is out

The first sneak peek showed the real screens and had its own music.

Real sign-in, a real inbox, any language

Google sign-in works, and Lunryx 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.

Themes and sounds

Lunryx now has eight light and eight dark themes, each with its own music. New mail, finished work, and deadline alerts each have their own sound and volume.

The look is set

The design is final: Stark Platinum by day, Deep Obsidian by night, the Split Core logo, and the orbit. The privacy vault is in too, so nobody sees your work unless you say yes.

First build

The first build has one shared core, and every organization gets its own separate workspace that no other organization can reach.
