Add to Orbit (Black+)

The black + is how Orbit grows between imports. Met someone, heard a detail, need a reminder — dump it in. Orbit proposes structure; you confirm.
Add to Orbit capture with voice and proposal

Open capture

  • Mac / web — black + in the app chrome
  • iPhone — capture screen from the tab bar

Voice, text, or photo

What Orbit can propose

From one note, Orbit may suggest:
  • New contacts (or match an existing person)
  • Notes on a timeline
  • Tags
  • Field updates — company, title, location, school, LinkedIn, birthday, …
  • Employment and education history
  • Relationships between people (“introduced by Dan”)
  • Reminders — one-time or recurring
  • A dated interaction so closeness stays honest
Clear one-person notes can apply with almost no friction. Ambiguous names ask: which person? or create new?

Example notes

After you confirm

You get a short success moment and a brief Undo window if something looked wrong.
Say how you know them and where you met. That context is what makes later Search answers feel human.
  • Search — find them again in language
  • Text Orbit — capture by iMessage
  • Autopilot — Mac can notice people without a tap
