Light mode and fixes (29–30 October)

  • Phones and narrow windows: a compact dashboard and month page.
  • Orbit for Mac: linked from the header, footers and account menu.

Free tools, duo cards and motion (20–22 October)

1.0.0

First release (18–19 October)

Orbit Cards turns your X account into cards you can post: headers, rings, milestones and recaps, drawn from the people who actually talk with you.

  • Cards from your own read: connect X and every design draws your real numbers and faces.
  • The Studio: pick a card, change its accent, photos, text and size, and pick which post, milestone or trophy it shows.
  • Profile kit and post pack: make a matching set in one go.
  • Unboxed: a Wrapped-style recap family in every set.
  • Halloween drop: seasonal headers and rings.
  • Live image: a link to your card that redraws after each new read.
  • Shout-outs and friend links: share a card made for someone, and invite friends.
  • Dashboard: a gallery of cards ready to post, and Post on X copies the card and opens the post box.
  • Your data: delete your data and disconnect X whenever you like.
