How to set Orbit up for yourself or a team, move in from where you are now, and understand what Orbit can and can't see. Start at the top if you're new.
Set up
- Getting started
- Create your account, choose personal or business, install the apps, and set up mail, passwords and chat in the order that works.
- Switch to Orbit
- Move from Gmail, Outlook, 1Password, Bitwarden or Slack: import old mail and passwords, move your domain's MX record, and what doesn't come across.
- Domains and addresses
- The DNS records to publish, mailboxes and aliases for each person, shared mailboxes such as support@, and using your own relay.
Teams
- Running a team
- Roles, inviting and removing people, shared vaults, turning apps off, signing in to your own apps with Orbit, and billing.
- What IT teams ask
- Single sign-on, provisioning, audit logs, compliance, where data is stored, uptime and support, including what Orbit doesn't do yet.
- Limits
- Storage, attachment sizes, vaults and members: what an account holds on each plan.
Answers
- Questions people ask
- App by app: your account, Orbit Mail, Orbit Chat, Orbit Pass, Orbit AI, the free apps, and Android.
- End-to-end encryption
- Every message is sealed to your key before it reaches Orbit and opened in your browser. Where the key comes from, what stays visible to the server, and what a password change means.
- What's new
- What changed in each Orbit app, and when.
Self-hosting
- Self-host the mail relay
- Or use ours. One command on Ubuntu 24.04+ or Debian 12+, a relay key for your account, the DNS records to publish, how to run more than one node, and how to keep it updated.
- Source on GitHub
- The relay is open source under the MIT license. The same code, with the same encryption, runs the relays Orbit hosts.
