Orbit is a Chrome extension and web dashboard for Substack writers. It keeps every note in one list, most new subscribers first, and names the people Substack credits to each one.

As of November 2026, Orbit costs $12 a month or $120 a year, included with a paid subscription to What’s Working Right Now, Rebecca Spitzer’s Substack.
