Local-first AI context continuity

Carry your AI context. See what changes along the way.

Orbital is a local-first browser extension for preserving, searching, inspecting, and reusing AI conversation context across platforms.

The Problem

Chat logs preserve words. They do not preserve trajectory.

AI conversations are becoming research trails, workspaces, decision environments, and memory systems. Ordinary chat interfaces flatten the interaction into a scrollback. Orbital adds a local control surface for the context, timing, structure, and movement hidden inside those conversations.

Your context fragments across platforms.Search and reuse are platform-limited.Conversation trajectory is hard to inspect.Useful context disappears when you switch systems.Text-only interfaces hide signals people normally perceive instinctively.

Thread Library

Build a local library of your AI conversations.

Orbital imports supported AI threads into a local library where they can be searched, tagged, filtered, inspected, and exported.

  • Cross-platform thread library
  • Keyword search
  • Semantic search wiring in progress
  • Thread tags and platform labels
  • Local metadata and batch discovery

Turn View

Combine threads into a single timeline.

Select multiple threads from your library and Orbital interleaves their turns into timestamp order, even across supported platforms.

  • Consolidated timeline from multiple threads
  • Cross-platform sequencing by timestamp
  • Turn-level search and tagging
  • Export as OpenAI-compatible JSON, Markdown, or PDF
  • Continue selected context on any supported platform

Your context stops being trapped inside one thread, one platform, or one model.

Steering Visibility

See where the interaction is moving.

Orbital metrics are inspection signals, not verdicts. They help reveal whether an interaction appears user-led, AI-led, balanced, narrowing, drifting, or shifting across turns.

  • Steering dominance
  • Drift indicators
  • Turn-level metric panels
  • Fired detector signals
  • Core geometry and influence signals

The graph does not replace intuition. It gives intuition something to look at.

Local-First Sovereignty

Your context stays yours.

Orbital is local-first by design. Core functionality works without making your conversation history dependent on another cloud memory layer.

The point is not to make another system remember you. The point is to let you keep possession of your own context.

Starting With AI Conversations

Designed to extend beyond AI chat.

Orbital begins with AI chat because the problem is easiest to see there: fragmented context, invisible trajectory, and platform-trapped memory. The same structure is designed to extend into email, direct messages, social feeds, and news environments.

Orbit View

Graphical relationship maps based on time, topic, tags, and local interaction signals.

Timeline Metrics

Turn-level metrics displayed directly in consolidated timeline view.

Cross-Platform Memory

Selected, user-controlled context continuity across supported systems.

Broader Media Adapters

Future adapters for email, direct messages, social feeds, and news streams.
