Orbit

The spirit of ICQ, rebuilt for privacy.

  • Messages encrypted in your browser — the server only ever holds scrambled bytes.
  • Voice & video calls, peer-to-peer encrypted.
  • Notifications that never leak your messages.

You'll be assigned a unique Orbit number — just like the old days.

Adding or removing members rotates the group key — newcomers can't read old messages, leavers can't read new ones.

You ↔ contact

Compare these with your contact over a channel you trust (in person, a phone call you recognize). If they match, your encryption is talking to the right person — no one in the middle.

Your encryption key isn't here

This device doesn't have your private key and no vault backup exists. You can generate a new key — you'll keep your account and contacts, but messages encrypted to the old key can't be read anymore, and contacts will see a "key changed" notice.
