About Orbit
Orbit started from a simple frustration: most issue trackers make you configure more than you ship. We wanted one place to plan a project, move issues through a workflow, and see progress add up, without the setup getting in the way of the work.

How Orbit came to be
A short path from a shared frustration to a tool we actually wanted to use.
The problem
Every tracker we tried asked us to configure more than we wanted to maintain, before a single issue got created.
The first version
One workspace: create a project, add issues, and move them through a workflow that made sense.
Built for teams
Roles, dashboards and notifications, so the whole team could rely on the same source of truth.
Open and self-hosted
Released as a self-hosted tool, so every team keeps full control of their own data.
Still shipping
Since then: a GitHub integration, automation rules, a command palette and live updates, in small releases every few days.
What we care about
A short list of principles that shape every decision we make about Orbit.
Focused
Every screen exists to answer one question: what should the team do next. Nothing gets added just because it can be.
Fast
Triaging issues and reading a dashboard should never feel like waiting. Orbit is built to stay quick as your data grows.
Open
Self-hosted by default. Your issues, your projects and your history stay on your own infrastructure.
