Orbit is a simple all-in-one CRM for freelance designers, with one AI assistant, Hiro. It builds a personal pitch page per lead, writes and nudges proposals, and drafts invoice reminders so you do not have to. Contacts, tasks, notes, email, and a booking page all live in one place. Every send needs your approval. Free for 250 contacts, no credit card.
The feast-famine cycle is a design tradition nobody asked for. When you are deep in a brand system, outreach stops, and the month the project ends is the month the calendar is empty. The work was great. The pipeline did not care.
Proposals go unsigned because following up feels needy. Invoices age because money talk is awkward in a relationship built on taste. Orbit keeps every lead and client in one CRM and puts an assistant on the drafting, so the pipeline no longer dies inside a project.
Hiro is one assistant inside the app. On the business side of design it can:
Monday: you are deep in a rebrand and a lead comes in through your form. Tuesday: you ask Hiro to draft a pitch page that references their product, and you tweak the type before approving it, because of course you do.
Wednesday: you ask Hiro for a brief before the discovery call. Thursday: it drafts the day-3 nudge on last week's proposal, and it comes back signed. Friday: a reminder goes out on the overdue invoice while you ship the final files. On Pro, the Chrome extension saves a prospect from anywhere in one click.
Great portfolios do not follow up. Orbit does.
Orbit is built for designers who sell their own work. Its AI assistant (Hiro) builds per-lead pitch pages, writes and nudges proposals on day 3 and day 7, and chases invoices, all as drafts you approve. The free plan covers 250 contacts and needs no card.
Hiro assembles a landing page tailored to one lead and drafts the email that delivers it. The free plan includes 5 landing pages and 3 forms, and you review the page before anything is sent. Open tracking on Pro tells you when the lead keeps reading.
No ad spend is involved, and Orbit is not a prospecting scraper. You add leads yourself or capture them through Orbit forms and landing pages, then Hiro drafts the outreach and follow-up. AI is included on every plan, running on free monthly credits with no API key to paste.
No. Every email, page, and nudge is a draft you approve, edit, or dismiss. For a designer that matters: nothing off-voice or off-brand ships, because Orbit is approval-gated and you see everything first.
The free CRM covers 250 contacts, one pipeline, unlimited tasks, calendar, notes, and a built-in email inbox. No credit card. Pro is $14/mo, and AI is included on every plan with free monthly credits. Founding members lock in Pro at $7/mo for life, first 100 only.
