The Orbit Method

Built for how
engineers think.

Most issue trackers are built for project managers. Orbit is built for the people writing the code — fast, focused, and designed to get out of your way the moment you open it.

01

Opinionated by design

We made hard choices so you never have to configure away friction. Sensible defaults for statuses, priorities, and workflows that match how engineers actually work.

02

Speed is a feature

Optimistic UI throughout. Every action responds in under 16 ms. We treat perceived latency as a bug — not an acceptable tradeoff.

03

Keyboard is primary

Every action has a shortcut. The command palette finds anything in one keypress. Your mouse is never required, only tolerated.

04

Notifications, not noise

Only what matters, when it matters. Grouped by relevance, snoozable, dismissable. Stay in flow and out of the inbox spiral.

Everything you need

One tracker.
No tab-switching.

Keyboard native

Every action has a shortcut. Navigate, create, and triage without lifting your hands from the keyboard.

Real-time sync

Optimistic UI with live updates. Changes propagate to every viewer in milliseconds, no refresh required.

Git-aware

Link PRs to issues, track branch status, and close issues automatically on merge. Built for engineers.

Insights & analytics

Throughput, cycle time, and SLA health at a glance. Dashboards that surface what needs attention.

Instant search

Find any issue, project, person, or comment in milliseconds. Workspace-wide, scoped, lightning-fast.

Calm inbox

Notifications grouped by relevance, snoozable to later. Stay on top of what matters; ignore the noise.

Issues

Move fast.
Stay in sync.

Create, assign, and triage issues in seconds. Optimistic UI means every action feels instant. Git-aware by default — link PRs and close issues on merge automatically.

  • Create an issue from anywhere with a single keystroke
  • Drag to reorder, prioritize, and assign inline
  • Link branches and PRs — issues close themselves on merge

Ship in sprints.
With zero overhead.

Group work into focused cycles. Track progress at a glance. Orbit carries incomplete issues forward automatically so nothing slips between sprints.

  • Auto-carry incomplete issues to the next cycle
  • Burndown progress updates in real-time
  • End-of-cycle digests to the whole team

Views

The right context,
every time.

Build custom views and save them for the team. Filter by assignee, priority, label, or project. Group by anything. Share a link and everyone sees exactly the same thing.

  • Filter, sort, and group by any combination of fields
  • Save views for the team or just for yourself
  • Views stay live — no manual refresh required

Customer requests

Hear every
customer, once.

Link customer feedback straight to the issue that will fix it. Requests stack up automatically, so priority follows real demand instead of whoever asked loudest last.

  • Attach a request to any issue in one click
  • Request counts roll up — prioritize by actual demand
  • Customers get looped back in automatically when it ships

Automation & AI

Automate the
busywork away.

Rules trigger on issue events or SLA breaches and take action — notify a channel, set a field, or call a webhook. Assign an AI teammate and it drafts a suggested approach before you've even opened the tab.

  • Trigger on created, updated, comment, or SLA breach
  • Notify Slack, Discord, or any webhook — no code required
  • AI teammates draft a first pass the moment they’re assigned

Timeouts started right after the retry-middleware deploy — I'd check the backoff config first. Flagging the migration script as a possible second cause...

Keyboard-first

Mouse optional.
Shortcuts for everything.

Every action has a shortcut. Navigate, triage, update — without ever leaving home row. The command palette finds anything in milliseconds.

  • Create issues with C, navigate with J/K
  • Cmd+K opens the global command palette
  • Status, priority, assignee — single keystroke

Changelog

Always
shipping.

A running log of what changed. No release cycles, no waiting — features go out the moment they're ready.

Jul 8, 2026

AI teammates draft the first move

Assign an issue to an AI teammate and it drafts a suggested approach — root cause, risks, and where to start — before you even open it.

Jun 24, 2026

Automation rules reach outside Orbit

Trigger on issue created, updated, or an SLA breach — post to Slack, Discord, or any webhook. No code required.

Jun 11, 2026

Customer requests, linked to the fix

Attach customer feedback directly to the issue that resolves it. Request counts roll up so you prioritize by real demand.

May 19, 2026

Cycles that carry themselves

Incomplete issues move to the next cycle automatically when one ends — nothing slips through the gap between sprints.

Loved by teams

Teams that ship,
on Orbit.

We ripped out three tools and replaced them with Orbit's automation rules alone. Triage used to eat the first hour of every morning — now it's already done by the time we sit down.

The keyboard shortcuts aren't a nice-to-have, they're the whole product. I don't think I've touched my mouse during a sprint in months.

Customer requests finally live right next to the issue that fixes them. We stopped guessing what to build next and started counting.
