Orbit, an augmented reality satellite tracking application, is now available on the App Store for iPhone and iPad.

The app lets users point their device at the sky to view satellites, planets, constellations and orbital debris in real time.

Orbit integrates augmented reality visualizations that overlay orbital objects onto the live camera feed.

It requires iOS 17 or later and runs on iPhone and iPad.

The app uses on-device processing of the camera feed, which is not recorded, stored or transmitted.

Location, motion and orientation sensor data are used on the device to calculate satellite positions, but this data is not retained or shared.

Orbit’s privacy policy, last updated on June 9 2026, states that the app does not require an account or request personal information.

Diagnostics, crash logs and aggregated usage data are collected anonymously to improve stability and are not linked to the user.

The app does not collect photos, camera frames or precise location history, and it does not share data with advertisers or data brokers.

Satellite and orbital data are downloaded from public sources for reference and do not involve personal information.

An optional AI chatbot uses Google’s Gemini API; messages are sent to Google only when the user chooses to interact, and Orbit does not retain or associate the messages with the user.

Orbit does not attach a name or account to chat data because it has no user accounts.

Orbit’s privacy approach distinguishes it from many other applications, though its reliance on an external AI service introduces data sharing with Google.

Orbit remains available for download.
