Open source · Free forever · No paid tiers
Issue tracking at the speed of typing.
Orbit is a free, realtime task manager for teams: issues, sprints, projects, and docs, synced to every open screen the instant anything changes, driven entirely from the keyboard.
Google, GitHub, passkey, or magic link. No password to invent. Or run the whole thing yourself.
ORB-101Features
Everything a team ships with.
Not a starter tier with the good parts held back. This is the whole thing.
Issues and boards
Fast lists and drag-and-drop boards over the same issues, filtered to one person the moment you click their name.
Sprints
Timebox the work into sprints and watch the current one fill, start, and ship.
Projects
Group related work into projects that carry it from kickoff to done.
Docs
A rich editor for specs, notes, and RFCs that lives next to the issues they describe.
Filters and saved views
Slice any list by state, assignee, label, or priority, then save the view for the whole team.
GitHub and Slack
Connect the repo and the channel so updates land where the team already looks.
Notifications
A focused inbox for mentions, assignments, and everything that needs your eyes.
MCP server
Orbit speaks MCP, so agents can read the board, file issues, and update work for you.
ORB-102Realtime
Change it once. It changes everywhere.
Every edit commits to Postgres, publishes to Redis, and fans out over WebSockets to every open tab. Boards reorder, counts tick, and docs update in front of you. Nobody refreshes, and nobody plans a sprint from a stale list.

ORB-103Keyboard first
Your hands never leave the keys.

ORB-105Open source
Yours to keep.
Orbit is free because a task manager is infrastructure, and infrastructure should not cost eighteen dollars per person per month. The whole thing is on GitHub, so you are never one pricing change away from losing it.
