How to use Orbita
Orbita plans, writes and schedules your social media — and on Platinum it makes your video reels too. This guide covers every button, in order, and says plainly what is working today and what is not.
01 · STARTYour first 5 minutes
- Open orbitareels.com → Get started. Nothing to install. Continue with Google — your posts, connected accounts and settings are saved to your account, so Orbita opens on any device at orbitareels.com/app.
- Tap the avatar (top right) → Profile. Put in your name and brand handle, and tick the platforms you use.
- Connect YouTube if you have a channel, so Orbita can upload for you. (Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn are covered in section 7.)
- Tap the sun in the middle → New Post. Pick platforms, write or generate a caption, pick a time, then Launch into orbit.
- Queue → 📅 Add to calendar. Your phone will remind you at posting time even when Orbita is closed.
Everything except paid plans works straight away. You only pay when you want a full month of scheduling, AI images, or done-for-you video reels.
02 · THE SCREENWhat you're looking at
The home screen is a small solar system. Your posts orbit a sun.
☀️ The sun
Tap it to write a new post.
Glowing dots
Each dot is a scheduled post. The inner ring is the next 24 hours, then this week, then later. Tap a dot to see or edit that post.
Outer planets
Shortcuts: Profile, Queue, Planner, Premium.
Top bar
Credits, Month, Queue, New Post, 🗺 Map, ✦ Galaxy, 💎 Autopilot, and your avatar.
Bottom strip
The next 7 days. A coloured dot means something is scheduled that day. Tap a day to highlight its posts.
Moving around
Drag to rotate, scroll to zoom. On a phone, swipe and pinch.
03 · MAKE A POSTThe composer, field by field
- Platforms. Tap every platform this post should go to. The character limit shown is the strictest one among them.
- Media. Text only, Image, or Video — see section 5.
- Caption. Type it, or use AI Copilot below the box. The counter turns red if you cross the limit.
- Launch time. Pick a date and time, or press ✦ Best time and Orbita picks a good hour for the platforms you chose.
- Launch into orbit. The post flies into the 3D scene and costs 1 credit.
To change a post later: tap its dot (or open Queue → Edit), change anything, and save. Duplicate copies a good post and schedules it a week later. Delete removes it, and cancels its automatic posting.
04 · AICaptions and images
AI Copilot (captions)
In the composer, type a topic (for example “monsoon offer on dental cleaning”), choose a tone — Bold, Playful, Professional or Storyteller — and press Generate 3 captions. Tap the one you like; it drops into the caption box and you can edit it.
AI image (Pro and Platinum)
Choose Image, then ✦ Generate an AI image for this post. Orbita reads your caption and creates a matching picture. You can always upload your own instead.
AI writes from what you give it. Read it before you schedule, and never let it state numbers or claims about your business that aren't true.
05 · MEDIAPhotos and videos
- Image: tap the box to upload from your device, paste an image link, or generate one with AI.
- Video: tap Upload a video — MP4 or MOV, up to 200 MB. You can also paste a direct .mp4 link.
For Orbita to upload by itself, the video must be uploaded (or a direct .mp4 link). A YouTube or Instagram page link can't be re-uploaded — Orbita will remind you to post it yourself instead.
06 · PLAN A MONTHMonth planner
- Top bar → Month.
- Press ✦ Plan my month.
- Enter your topics (comma separated), a tone, and how often you want to post — 2× week, 3× week, weekdays or daily.
- Press Auto-schedule the month. Orbita writes each post and places it at a good hour.
- Look through the calendar and edit or delete anything you don't like.
Pro and Platinum let you schedule the full month ahead.
07 · CONNECTYour social accounts
Profile → Your platforms → press Connect next to each channel, one at a time. You always log in on the platform's own page. Orbita never sees or stores your password, and you can disconnect at any time.
| Platform | Status | What you need |
|---|---|---|
| WORKING | A Business or Creator account (Instagram app → Settings → Account type). If the login page says it can't connect, first log in at instagram.com in a normal tab, then press Connect again. | |
| WORKING | A Facebook Page you admin — Orbita posts to Pages, not personal profiles. | |
| YouTube | WORKING | A YouTube channel. Reels go out as Shorts. |
| TikTok | WORKING | Your TikTok account (not available in India). |
| LinkedIn, X, Threads | WORKING | Your account on that platform. |
| WORKING | At least one board — Orbita pins to your first board. | |
| Bluesky, Discord, Telegram | WORKING | Bluesky app password / Discord channel / Telegram channel, set up on the connect page. |
08 · POSTINGWhat happens at posting time
If the platform is connected
Orbita posts it for you — even if your laptop is off and the browser is closed. The post then shows posted with a View post ↗ link. If an upload fails, Orbita tries twice more, 30 minutes apart, and then asks you to post it by hand.
If it isn't connected
The post becomes Ready to post and you get a reminder. Open Queue and you'll see three buttons: Copy caption, Open Instagram / LinkedIn / …, and ✓ Mark posted. It takes about a minute.
Two ways to never miss one
- 📅 Add to calendar (Queue): every scheduled post goes into your phone or Google calendar with a reminder 10 minutes before.
- 🔔 Reminders (Queue): a browser notification when a post is due. This one needs an Orbita tab open.
09 · GALAXYYour real numbers
Top bar → ✦ Galaxy (or press G). The camera flies to a second world where every post is a star: bigger star = more engagement, colour = platform, newer posts sit closer to the middle. Hover a star to see that post's numbers, tap it to open the post.
The bar at the bottom shows Posts, Likes, Comments and Views. Full report opens the detailed screen with:
- Cards for likes, comments, views, shares and average per post
- This week / this month / all time
- An 8-week engagement chart
- Your best platform, best day and best hour
- A sortable table of every post — click a column heading to sort
| Platform | Numbers Orbita fetches |
|---|---|
| YouTube | Views, likes, comments |
| Facebook Page | Reactions, comments, shares |
| Likes, comments | |
| LinkedIn, X, TikTok, others | Their APIs don't give these, so use + add numbers and type them yourself |
Galaxy only shows real numbers, for posts Orbita itself published or that you filled in. If there's nothing yet, it says so — it never shows demo figures.
10 · UNIVERSEThe map of worlds
Top bar → 🗺 Map (or press M). Every part of Orbita is a world you can fly to.
- Open now: ☀️ Orbit (scheduling), ✦ Galaxy (numbers), 💎 Studio (AI reels, Platinum).
- Planned, and clearly locked: 💬 Inbox (auto replies to DMs and comments), 🎯 Leads, 👥 Crew (team and approvals), 🗂️ Vault (media library and reruns), 🔭 Watchtower (competitors), 📣 Ads.
Locked worlds are labelled PLANNED — NOT AVAILABLE YET. Tap one and press “Tell us you want it” to push it up the list. To come back from any world: the ← Back to orbit button at the top, the top-bar button, or Esc.
11 · AUTOPILOTAI video reels (Platinum)
Top bar → 💎 Autopilot. Fill this in once and the Orbita team's system writes, produces and schedules your reels.
- Your business: name, what you sell, who you sell to, tone, topics.
- Proof points: only true facts (“12 years in practice”, “4.9★ on Google”). The AI may use no numbers other than these.
- Call to action and the language: English, हिंदी or Hinglish.
- Subtitles: on or off, your choice.
- Your AI presenter: describe them and pick a style — realistic, 3D animated or mascot — plus the voice you want.
- Save business brain, then ⬇ Send setup to Orbita team. That one file has everything we need.
We send you 4 presenter options; you pick one by number and that face appears in every reel. Then Orbita makes one sample reel and shows it in Autopilot Studio (step 4). Approve it, or write what to change and it is remade with your changes (up to 3 revisions). Once approved, that style is locked and Orbita makes 7 reels at a time, posting one a day to your connected accounts. The next 7 are made when those run low, and you can pause any time.
Reels are AI-generated. Label them as AI where the platform asks. We never use a real person's face or voice without their written consent.

Online checkout isn't live yet. Tap a plan and Orbita opens an email so you can request it — we reply with a payment link. Cancel any time: see the refund & cancellation policy.
13 · YOUR DATAWhere it lives, and backups
- When you sign in with Google, your posts and settings are saved to your account, encrypted, and open on any device. A copy is also kept in your browser so Orbita works even on a shaky connection.
- Sign out from Profile. On a shared computer, always sign out — it also clears Orbita's copy from that browser.
- Profile → ⬇ Backup saves everything to a file. ⬆ Restore brings it back — that's also how you move to a new laptop or phone.
- Take a backup before clearing your browser data, and now and then anyway.
- Connected accounts are stored as encrypted keys on our server, never your password. Disconnect any time in Profile, or in that platform's own settings.
- To have everything deleted, email us: see the privacy policy.
