Build, launch, and improve full-stack AI-native apps on your own domain.

Category: Developer tools
Stage: Growth
For: People and teams building and launching web applications without managing the underlying stack.

About

Orbit is the AI application platform that builds full-stack, AI-native products from first idea to production scale.

Problem: Ideas and notes are disconnected from the build process.
How it works: Scratchpad keeps ideas and notes in one place and lets users build directly from them.
Result: Users can move from an idea to an app build without recreating context.
Why: It connects early product thinking to implementation.

Problem: Building interfaces often requires separate design and implementation work.
How it works: Users lay out screens on a canvas, with the stated promise that what they draw is what ships.
Result: Users can design and revise application screens visually.
Why: The screen-design surface is directly tied to the working app.

Problem: Apps need structured, connected data without manual database setup.
How it works: Users name what they store and how records connect; Orbit builds the database beneath the model.
Result: Each app gets a data foundation that users can inspect, read, and query.
Why: Data modeling is part of the same app-building workflow.

Problem: Application behavior requires backend logic.
How it works: Users describe what should happen, and Orbit runs workflows behind the scenes.
Result: Builders can add and change app behavior from the shared app surface.
Why: Logic is built alongside screens and data rather than as a separate system.

Problem: Launching an app requires deployment infrastructure and security configuration.
How it works: Orbit publishes apps on a customer-owned domain with managed hosting and HTTPS; it also states that apps include sign-in after launch.
Result: Users can put an app live and relaunch later changes without managing the stack.
Why: Deployment is included in the product lifecycle.

Problem: Teams may want to build from agents, chat, or a browser without fragmenting the project.
How it works: Claude or other MCP agents, Codex, WhatsApp, and the browser studio read and write the same app; Orbit also exposes a REST app-builder API.
Result: Builders can start from their preferred surface and continue working on the same project elsewhere.
Why: All entry points operate on one app model rather than exports or copies.
