Orbit

Modern, open-source project management platform built for developers, teams, and organizations.

Orbit is a modern project management platform focused on simplicity, performance, and complete control over your data. It combines task management, documentation, planning, and collaboration into a single cohesive workspace while remaining fully self-hostable and open source.

Our goal is to build a platform that developers genuinely enjoy using—without unnecessary complexity, vendor lock-in, or hidden limitations.


Vision

Project management software should be fast, intuitive, extensible, and transparent.

Orbit is being built around the idea that every team, regardless of its size, should have access to a professional project management platform that can be hosted anywhere and customized to fit its workflow.
