Two lists: Reply to and Waiting for
Reply to shows people waiting for your answer. Waiting for shows people whose answer you are waiting for. Orbit works them out from your mail, on your device. It asks before it starts, and short messages such as “Thanks!” or automatic replies are usually left out of the lists.
Remind me, Done and Undo
- Remind me brings a conversation back at a time you choose, for example tomorrow. You can also add your own follow-up with a date.
- Done takes a conversation off the list until someone writes again. Tapped it by mistake? Undo puts the conversation back.
- Remind me if no reply (Penvia Pro): set it when you send, and Penvia reminds you only if nobody answers.
- Reminders are notifications on your device. With Penvia Pro, Orbit syncs between your devices through your own iCloud.
Nudge: a polite follow-up you send yourself
When someone hasn't replied, Nudge opens a short, polite follow-up draft in the conversation. You edit it and tap Send. Penvia never sends a nudge by itself.
Your inbox stays as it is
Orbit is a separate view. Your Chats keep their order, and nothing is moved or changed on your provider's server.
Questions
Is Orbit free?
Yes. Reply to, Waiting for and your own follow-ups are free. Remind me if no reply and iCloud sync are part of Penvia Pro.
Does Orbit send emails automatically?
No. Nudge only prepares a draft. You decide whether to edit and send it.
Does Orbit read my mail on a server?
No. Orbit works on your device, from the mail already saved there.
Can I turn automatic tracking off?
Yes. If you turn it off, the follow-ups you added yourself stay.
