Orbit on WhatsApp
Build an app from a WhatsApp message
Send Orbit a message with the app you want. The result comes back in the chat, and one tap launches it.
Nothing to install, and your first app launches free.

The app comes back as a picture you can tap
Orbit renders the screens you built and drops the image into the thread. Buttons under it open the preview or put the app live.

Say hello
Orbit answers with a sign-in link. Tap it once and your number belongs to your account.
Describe the app
Say what you need in your own words. You get back screens and a data model to change, not a finished decision.
Tap to launch
The app goes live with saved data and sign-in behind it. Your first live app is free.
Questions, answered
Do I need to install anything to build an app on WhatsApp?
No. Orbit works in the WhatsApp you already have, and the app it builds runs on Orbit.
How does Orbit know which account is mine?
Your first message comes back with a sign-in link. Signing in ties that number to your organization, and you can unlink it whenever you want.
Can I keep changing the app after the first build?
Yes. Orbit tracks the app you are working on, so "make the header green" lands on it without you naming it again.
Does the app go live from the chat?
Yes. Tap the launch button and it deploys with a database and sign-in. Your first live app is free; later launches run on the cheapest paid tier and draw from credits.
Which chat apps can I build from?
WhatsApp is the only chat app you can build from today.
