Track the hours, ship the work, bill the time
Run client builds and maintenance work from one place: time tracked on the task, recurring jobs that schedule themselves, and invoices built from your unbilled hours.
Made for billable work
Hours are the product. Orbit ties every minute to a task, a project and a client, so billing is a click away rather than an afternoon of reconstruction.
- Free plan
Timers on tasks
Start a timer on the task you're working on, or add time by hand for a past day. Mark each entry billable or not.
- Free plan
Rates per client
Give each client an hourly or fixed rate and a currency, and see the value of your unbilled time.
- Free + Pro plan
Invoices from unbilled time
Import a client's unbilled hours onto an invoice as line items. Those entries are marked billed, so nothing is charged twice.
- Free plan
Recurring maintenance
Repeat updates, backups and check-ins daily, weekly, monthly or on a custom schedule, and Orbit creates the next one for you.
- Free plan
Project budgets
Cap a project by amount, by hours or both, and see what's used and what's left, with warnings at 80% and 100%.
- Pro plan
Custom automations
Build rules of your own, like raising the priority of overdue tasks or creating a task every week.
From the first commit to the invoice
Hours, right where the work is
Start a timer from a task on iPhone, iPad or the web. Starting it moves a To Do task to In Progress, so your board stays current without extra clicks.
- Add manual entries for time you forgot to start
- Keep billable and non-billable time apart
- See tracked time against a project's hour budget
Retainer work that schedules itself
Make the monthly dependency update or the weekly backup check a recurring task, and the next one appears when it's due. On Pro, your own rules can tag, reprioritise or notify you automatically.
- Smart status is free: finish the last subtask and the task is done
- Pro: rules that run every day, week or month
- Pro: post a rule's message to a Slack or Discord webhook
Bill exactly what you tracked
In the invoice builder, Import time brings a client's unbilled hours in as line items at their rate. On Pro, ask Orbi to draft the invoice for last month's unbilled time and review it before it's saved.
- Recurring invoices for monthly maintenance retainers
- Email reminders before or after the due date
- Free: ask Orbi about your work and add or complete tasks — 5 requests a day
Post task updates to Slack, Discord or Zapier
On every plan, add a webhook in Settings → Integrations and Orbit posts a message when a task is created or completed.
