A tomlawson.io project
A self-hosted home operations hub for maintenance, renewals, recurring services, contracts, cover, and the people who share them.
Boilers need servicing. Insurance renews. Cars need inspections. Contracts roll over.
Orbit puts them all round one sun: your household. The nearer something is, the sooner it's due. Done, and it swings back out to its next date. Nothing slips past unseen.
Complete it, and the next date is worked out for you.
Every item keeps its own rhythm: when it's due, how often it comes round, what it costs, when you'll be reminded, and the documents that go with it. Reschedule or snooze when life gets in the way.
Every household has its own relay address.
Forward a bill or a policy to it. Orbit reads the attachment, works out what it is, and asks before anything is added. Your mail stays in your mailbox; Orbit only ever reads a copy.
Add the people you live with: by name if they already have an Orbit account, or by an invitation sent to their email.
Home, Vehicles, Devices and Services to begin with. Add, rename, reorder and recolour your own.
Five themes, four text sizes.
What was done and when, reminders before it's due, and its documents, stored encrypted.
Installs like an app and can notify you. Your data stays on your server, not copied onto the phone.
Your own sign-in, or the identity provider you already use. Nothing is shared beyond your household.
Three containers on a Linux machine of your own, set up by one command. Nothing exotic to learn, nothing to babysit.
Orbit runs on your own server and asks nothing of you: no subscription, and no login anywhere but your own front door. Nothing is held back for a higher tier, because there isn't one. The source is open, the licence is the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later, and it stays that way.
