Built for Everyone. Built to last.
Chat, voice, hosting, security, and customization — all in one app you actually own. No subscriptions, no ads, no data mining.
Communication
Real-time chat and crystal-clear voice that rivals anything you've used before.
Voice channels
Always-on voice rooms powered by a selective forwarding unit. Low latency, multiple speakers, no call to start — just join and talk.
Screen sharing
Share your screen for live streaming, sharing games and content with friends. Smooth and lag-free.
On-device noise suppression
Neural noise suppression (DTLN and DeepFilterNet) runs entirely on your machine — no audio data ever leaves your computer. Removes keyboard clicks, fan noise, and background chatter in real time.
Per-user volume control
That one friend who's always too loud? Adjust individual volumes without asking anyone to touch their mic settings.
AFK music
Plays bundled background music while you're alone in a voice channel. Stops automatically the moment someone else joins.
Soundbite capture & editing
Capture and share short clips from voice chat and screen shares. Edit, trim, and send memorable moments to your friends.
Expressive messaging
Spoiler tags, mentions, link unfurls, emoji, and file uploads. Quick, clean chat without the formatting overhead.
Reactions
React to any message with a full emoji picker. Quick reactions let your group vibe without cluttering the chat.
Pins, search, and replies
Pin important messages so they don't get buried. Search your entire history instantly. Inline replies keep conversations organized.
GIF integration
Built-in GIF search so you can drop the perfect reaction without leaving the app. Because sometimes words aren't enough.
File uploads with preview
Drag and drop images, videos, and documents. Files preview inline so your friends can see screenshots and clips without downloading.
Link embeds
Paste a link and Orbitr automatically pulls a rich preview with title, description, and thumbnail. YouTube, Twitter, articles — all embedded.
Organization
Structure your community the way you want.
Unlimited channels
Create a server for your group and add as many text and voice channels as you need. No arbitrary limits.
Channel categories
Organize channels into collapsible categories. Drag and drop to rearrange. Keep things tidy even as your community grows.
Channel types
Text for chat and voice for talking. The right channel type for every kind of conversation.
Granular role system
Flexible access control with a full role hierarchy. Decide exactly who can moderate, manage channels, invite members, or pin messages.
Channel-specific overrides
Need a channel only certain roles can see? Or one where everyone can post images but not links? Per-channel permission overrides make it possible.
Invites with expiry and limits
Generate invite links that expire after a set time or number of uses. Share one-time links for events or permanent links for your crew.
QR code invites
Show a QR code on your screen and let friends scan to join. Perfect for in-person meetups, LAN parties, and conventions.
Data controls
Auto-delete messages, set per-channel retention periods, and put your group in control of data lifecycle. Your server, your retention policy.
Customization
Make it yours. Themes, layouts, profile cards, and naming packs to match your vibe.
Dark and light themes
A refined dark theme for late-night sessions and a clean light theme for daytime. Both designed to be easy on the eyes for hours at a time.
Dock-style layout toggle
Switch between a sidebar navigation and a dock-style bottom bar. Pick the layout that feels natural to you.
Taxonomy theme packs
Rename everything to match your community's vibe. Use space-themed naming (Orbits, Satellites) or keep it conventional (Servers, Channels). Your call.
Customizable profile cards
Six layout options, multiple interaction modes, flip animations, shimmer effects, and background styles. Choose portrait, split, full-info, banner, full-bleed, or coin. Mix and match.
Per-server profile overrides
Use a different display name, avatar, and bio on every server. Keep your gaming persona separate from your study group identity.
Emoji style picker
Choose your preferred emoji style across the app. Because the default set isn't everyone's favorite.
Orbitr PulsarOptional
Optional cloud identity backup and sync, so your identity follows you across devices.
