Your whole author business, in one place
AuthorOrbit is the calm at the centre of your author life — one simple, private app for your books, your readers, your income and your writing, so you spend less time hunting through spreadsheets and more time telling stories.
Runs on your own Windows or Mac computer. No cloud account. Your data stays with you.
One home instead of a dozen scattered files
Today your buy links are in one document, your royalties in a spreadsheet, your ARC readers in an email folder, your events in a notebook, and your manuscript in yet another program. AuthorOrbit pulls all of it together — with one search box that reaches across every record and every manuscript chapter at once.
Why authors love it
Everything in one place
Titles, links, readers, events, earnings and manuscripts in one tidy home.
Less admin, more writing
The fiddly, repeated jobs get faster, so your energy goes back to the page.
Nothing slips through the cracks
Gentle reminders and a single calendar keep releases, events and deadlines in view before they arrive.
Your data stays yours
It lives on your machine — private, and free of any cloud subscription.
Smart help where it counts
AuthorOrbit can read a royalty statement for you, help sketch a character, and track a manuscript’s rising tension — the tedious bits, done in seconds.
