[Visit Orbit Cards](https://orbitcards.app/) [Why I made it](https://karakabakov.com/posts/orbit-cards/) $9 card pack or $4 a monthIn your browserRead-only X access ![The Orbit Cards home page: the headline Your people, on your profile beside an orbit of profile photos around one person, with labels reading @samrivera, #1 in your orbit this month, 62 people in your orbit, and Ring 1, talked this week.](https://karakabakov.com/images/products/orbit-cards-home.webp) The short version ## What Orbit Cards does Connect your X account and Orbit Cards reads it once: your profile, your last 30 days of posts, replies and mentions, a pick of your followers and a sample of the year before. It ranks the people you replied to, quoted, mentioned and reposted, and the people who did that to you, by how much and how recently. Every card is drawn from that one read, with no more calls to X. Pick a design, a look and a size, shuffle the people, hide names if you like, then download the PNG and post it yourself. A header keeps the corner under your profile photo clear and puts your closest people in the band phones never crop. In detail ## The parts worth knowing about Not the whole list - the app has more screens than a page like this can usefully hold. These are the decisions that make Orbit Cards different from the last one you tried. - ### Headers made from your people 1500x500 X headers in 25 designs, from a Mosaic of profile photos to Polaroids pinned to a board, each in three looks. The people you talk with most get the biggest spots. - ### Recaps, rings and shout-outs A monthly recap of your X, a badge ring around your own profile photo, a card for your #1 person this month, milestones, trophies and a thank-you card for new followers. - ### Your X, a year apart The Time Machine puts your X today next to a year ago: the post from one year ago today, a 12-month rewind and, once the reads cover a year, your followers then and now. - ### Read-only, and it never posts It asks X for read access only. It never posts, follows, likes or changes your profile. Post on X copies the card and opens X's own post box, and you decide whether to send it.
