AI that revolves around you.
Private by architecture, not by policy. Two products shipping, two in development. No backend that touches your data. Sabihin runs fully on your machine. The Forge runs on the AI key you already own. Either way, nothing routes through us.
What we make
Two products shipping now, two more on the way.
Sabihin
Tagalog for "say it."Press a hotkey, speak, and polished text lands at your cursor in whatever app has focus. Punctuation, casing, numbers, and names come out right. Speech recognition, formatting, and screen-context handling all run locally.
It works the same on a plane, in a SCIF, or with the network unplugged. Nothing you say leaves the machine.
- macOS, available now$59 one-time. Twelve months of updates included.
- iOS and Android, in testingA system keyboard running the same on-device pipeline.
- Built for regulated workDefense, legal, and clinical teams who can't send audio to a cloud.
- Deterministic cleanupSame input, same output, every time. A transcript you can stand behind.
The Forge
Build it. Ship it. Without the clipboard.You describe what you want built. The Forge reads your code, writes the edits, checks they compile, and commits — without you touching a clipboard or leaving the app.
Bring your own API key — Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, or a local Ollama model. Keys stay in the macOS Keychain. No Forge account, no Forge server, nothing between you and your code.
- PlanInterview-driven spec generation before a line of code gets written.
- WatchReal-time drift detection against the locked spec while agents build.
- PullPoint it at an existing repo, get an as-built spec back.
- Free for personal usePolyForm Noncommercial License 1.0.0. Personal projects, hobby work, research, and education.
- Commercial & teamsOpen an issue on GitHub to discuss a commercial license.
AR MechanicIn development
Point at the job. Get the next step.AR Mechanic walks you through automotive procedures utilizing your phone's camera, labeling key points and giving you directions one step at a time.
It runs on an AI key you provide, with Gemini first and more providers on the way. Camera frames go from your phone to your provider and nowhere else. No Orbital AI server, no account.
- Proof of conceptOil level, oil change, and air filter to start. No App Store or Play listing yet.
- Annotated live viewLabels, a reference photo, and a parts and tools list sit over the camera feed.
- Verified stepsThe camera checks each step against what finished work should look like.
- Your key, your historyKey in the device keychain. Session history stays on the phone.
SulatinIn development
Tagalog for "to write."You speak. Sulatin transcribes — fully offline — and AI turns what you said into structured notes: headers, bullets, a clean summary. One tap to start, one tap to stop, a real note at the end.
Recognition runs on-device via Parakeet-TDT, so no audio leaves your phone. AI structuring uses the key you bring. Nothing goes through Orbital AI either way.
- On-device transcriptionParakeet-TDT runs locally. Audio never leaves your device unless you ask for AI structuring.
- AI-structured notesRecord a rambling thought; get back something you'd actually re-read. Uses your own API key.
- Export anywhereMarkdown, plain text, or PDF. Share or archive without leaving the app.
What's new
The latest from Orbital AI.
Added and updated a new application called Sulatin — a note-taking app.
About
A small company making serious tools.
Orbital AI is a one-person software company based in the United States. We build for people who do serious work and don't want a vendor sitting between them and it, whether that's a dictated word or a week of code.
The name is the idea. The software orbits you: it runs on your terms, answers to you, and leaves when you say so. Two products now, two more in development.
