Log the past, watch your globe fill up, and see how far you've really gone. Orbit turns a list of flights into a planet you can spin — offline, from a dataset that ships inside the app.
Add flights from any year. Two airport codes and a date is the whole entry — everything else is derived.
Each flight draws itself on as a great circle arc. The shape of where you've been becomes obvious in a way a list never manages.
Your total measured against the things it's worth measuring against: the circumference of the Earth, and the distance to the Moon.
Your total distance, front and centre, counting up as you add flights. Underneath it, the only comparison that makes it real: how many times that is around the Earth, and how far to the Moon.
Every flight becomes a great circle on a globe you can spin, pinch and tap. Not a flat map with lines bent across it — an actual sphere, where the short way to Tokyo really does go over the Arctic.
Flights grouped by month, each with artwork generated from the destination itself. No stock photography, no empty rows — just a record that's pleasant to scroll through years later.
Enter two airport codes and a date. Orbit computes the great circle distance, the flying time, the countries and the continents — and tells you the moment a flight unlocks something.
Polar routes, equator crossings, every continent, a million miles. Each one earned by where you've actually been. None of them purchasable, none of them cosmetic.
Airports, offline
Searchable at 38,000 feet with the wifi off.
Badges to earn
All by where you've been. None for sale.
Ads, ever
No tracking pixels either. You're not the product.
The whole airport table ships inside the app. Search it on a plane, in a tunnel, in a country where your roaming has given up. No spinner, no network, no account required to start.
Distances are computed the way airlines compute them — along the shortest path over a sphere. That's why your route to Tokyo curves north, and why the arc on your globe looks right instead of looking drawn.
Kilometres stop meaning much past a few thousand. So Orbit plots your total against distances that do mean something — one lap of the planet at 40,075 km, the Moon at 384,400.
Seven styles of shareable card — your map, your numbers, your longest flight, your countries, a polar view of your orbits. Rendered at poster resolution, built to look good on a feed.
Polar routes. Equator crossings. Every continent, Antarctica included. A million miles. There is no way to buy one and no way to grind one — the only route to a badge is having actually been there.

No. You can log flights and use the globe straight away as a guest. An account only matters if you want your logbook to survive a new phone, or to add friends.
Singapore to New York is nearly 15,350 km without landing. Here's the current ranking of the longest non-stop routes, why they exist at all, and what a day and a half in a seat does to you.
The map on the seat-back screen looks wrong. It isn't — the map is lying, and the aircraft is telling the truth. A short explanation of great circle routes and why the shortest path is a curve.
The Earth is 40,075 km around. Most frequent travellers pass that without noticing. Here's how to work out your own number — and why it's almost always higher than you think.
Add a flight you remember — even one from ten years ago. Orbit works out the distance, the hours and the countries, and draws it on.
