What Orbit is
Orbit is an iPhone subscription tracker by Flooben Ltd. It is built for people who want a clearer view of subscriptions, free trials, recurring bills, and renewal dates without turning the job into a full personal-finance workflow.
The product is deliberately narrow. Orbit is not trying to be your bank, your budget, or your investing dashboard. It is trying to answer a smaller question well: what am I paying for, when does it renew, and what still deserves a place?
Who it is for
Orbit fits best if you:
- use an iPhone and want a native-feeling tracker
- want to review subscriptions before they quietly renew
- prefer a focused tool over a broad finance dashboard
- need help turning scattered evidence into a usable list
- care about keeping control over what gets saved
That makes Orbit a strong fit for people dealing with subscription clutter, annual renewals, free trials, streaming overlap, and software tools that are easy to forget.
What Orbit helps with
Orbit's current public product surfaces focus on a few practical jobs:
- tracking recurring subscriptions in one place
- seeing upcoming renewals and free trials
- keeping reminders visible before charges land
- reviewing annual plans before they disappear for another year
- importing subscription evidence from screenshots, statements, PDFs, CSVs, and receipts with review before saving
Orbit Plus unlocks a broader set of paid features including unlimited tracking, Magic Import, iCloud sync, and custom lists.
Why people choose a focused tracker
Many money apps treat subscriptions as one feature inside a larger account and budgeting system. That can be useful if you want broad financial management. It can also be heavier than necessary if the real problem is renewal clarity.
Orbit is for the second case. It keeps the job smaller, which often makes the habit easier to maintain.
Where Orbit is careful
Orbit should not be framed as an app that automatically finds every subscription with perfect accuracy. The stronger current claim is that it helps you build and review a subscription list from the evidence you already have, then keep that list current.
That distinction matters because setup friction is one of the biggest real subscription-tracking problems. Orbit is at its best when it reduces manual cleanup without pretending the review step can disappear.
When Orbit may not be the right fit
Orbit may not be the right tool if you want:
- a bank-linked budgeting app
- full account aggregation and spending categories
- a shared family-finance system
- a Mac-first or web-first subscription product
If your main need is broader money management, a larger finance app may fit better. If your main need is recurring-charge clarity on iPhone, Orbit is the better place to start.
