Orbit: App Bubbles (Multitask)

Like the app bubbles experience on Android 17? Explore floating app multitasking with Orbit. Open compatible apps in bubbles over your current screen, reach favorites from an Edge Panel, and let selected apps appear as notification bubbles when something new arrives.

APP BUBBLES FOR MULTITASKING

Open a supported app in a floating window over your current screen. Check information, use a tool or return to a conversation with fewer trips to your Home screen.

• Switch between app bubbles.

• Collapse a bubble when you need more room.

• Find open bubbles and close them individually or all at once.

QUICK LAUNCH WITH AN EDGE PANEL

Swipe from the screen edge to access favorite apps and groups. Search for an app in the panel, then tap to launch it.

• Choose the left edge, right edge or both.

• Personalize panel color, opacity and width.

• Adjust the edge handle to suit your reach.

• Use the floating app dock as another way to reach your shortcuts.

NOTIFICATION BUBBLES

Choose which apps can create a bubble when they notify you. Their bubbles appear collapsed, so you can decide when to open them.

• Enable Bubble on notification for selected apps.

• Turn on notification previews for the apps you choose.

• Tap a bubble to open the compatible app.

APP GROUPS AND HOME SCREEN WIDGET

Keep apps for work, study or everyday tasks together. Open a group with one tap, or access apps and groups from the Orbit widget. Quick Launch is also available in the notification shade.

MAKE ORBIT YOURS

Choose a light or dark theme. Search installed apps, hide apps you do not want in the list, and restore them later.

FREE AND PRO

Orbit includes core app bubbles with limited Quick Launch and groups. Orbit Pro adds the Edge Panel, Bubble on notification, Home screen shortcuts and higher app and group limits.

COMPATIBILITY AND PERMISSIONS

Orbit is an independent app, not a Google product or an Android system update. It does not enable Android 17 system features on other Android versions.

Floating app support depends on your device, Android version, system settings and each app. Some apps may open full screen or may not work in a bubble. Orbit does not guarantee freely resizable windows or several expanded windows at once.

Allow notifications and Bubbles in Android settings to use app bubbles. The Edge Panel and floating dock require permission to display over other apps. Automatic notification bubbles require notification access; enabling previews lets Orbit read notification content to display it.

Multitask with app bubbles. Keep favorites close. Open what you need, when you need it.
