Spark

The founders ran a failed camera startup and came back with a narrower promise: no cloud identity required to turn on a light.

Friction

The smart home became a pile of apps.
Orbit is one quiet box that owns the logic and keeps the recordings on a disk you can unplug.

Bet

One private intelligence layer for the whole home.

Build

A wall-wart computer, local speech, and adapters for existing Matter devices.

Remote access is opt-in through your own tunnel.
