Four Setups, Depending On Who You're Worried About

Orbit is one app, but a Nest for an 80-year-old and a Nest for a 17-year-old want different things switched on. Here is exactly what we would set up in each case.

Ageing Parents & Caregiving

Knowing, Without Having To Ask

The hard part of caring from a distance isn't the emergency. It's the ordinary silence between phone calls.

  • Live heart rate from their Apple Watch, so a glance replaces a check-in call.
  • Health alerts on resting heart rate, blood oxygen or an irregular-rhythm event.
  • Inactivity monitor — a nudge when somebody who normally moves hasn't.
  • Places for home and the clinic, with quiet arrive and leave notifications.
  • Medications and Medical ID filled in once, attached to every emergency automatically.
  • The call chain so an SOS reaches a sibling whose phone is on silent — by actually ringing it.
  • The AI emergency brief so whoever gets there first knows the history without reading a thread.
Driving

Facts To Talk About, Not A Hunch To Argue Over

For a new driver, a partner with a long commute, or anyone whose job is on the road.

  • Automatic trip detection — nothing to start or stop, so nothing gets forgotten.
  • A driving score from hard brakes, rapid acceleration, phone checks and top speed.
  • Route replay for every trip, with the weather at the time.
  • A live cockpit — speed and g-force while the drive is happening.
  • Speeding alerts at a threshold you choose.
  • Crash detection with a countdown, and the full call-and-text chain if it isn't cancelled.
  • Arrived-safe notifications for work, school or home.
Kids & Teens

Enough To Stop Worrying. Not So Much That It's Surveillance.

Orbit is deliberately not a monitoring app. It does not read messages, photos or browsing history, and it never will.

  • Live map so "are you there yet?" stops being a text.
  • Places for school, practice and home, with arrive and leave alerts.
  • Check-in — one tap to say I'm OK, with a streak they'll keep going.
  • SOS that reaches you and everyone else in the Nest at once.
  • Watch Over for a tagged minor — an alert if the app is killed, sharing stops, or the location goes stale.
  • Minor tagging so oversight is explicit rather than secret.

Living Or Running Alone

Sharing That Lasts Exactly As Long As The Journey

For the nights you walk home late and the mornings you run before it's light.

  • Live tracking for one session — it asks, it runs, it ends. No permanent switch left on.
  • Route-deviation alerts if you leave the route you set out on.
  • Crash detection for the drive or the cycle home.
  • Heart-rate alerts with an automatic SOS backstop if a breach goes unanswered.
  • The call chain so an unanswered notification becomes a ringing phone.

Not Sure Which One You Are?
