Sprocket Orbit

A shared wiki for team notes and knowledge, stored securely in Microsoft 365. Sprocket Orbit - Collaborative AI wiki for Microsoft Teams Sprocket Orbit is a collaborative markdown wiki that lives inside Microsoft Teams and your Microsoft 365 tenant. It gives your team a fast, flexible space to write how-tos, runbooks, meeting notes, decisions, and onboarding docs, and connects your AI assistants so their work stops disappearing into chat windows. The problem it solves Most teams want a space for working knowledge that's faster and more flexible than SharePoint pages, but tools like Notion and Obsidian live outside Microsoft 365, which puts company knowledge outside your compliance boundary. OneNote and Loop don't fill the gap either: OneNote's proprietary format and free-form canvas resist structure and AI editing, and Loop locks you into Microsoft's own Copilot inside containers you don't fully control. Orbit is built to answer a different question: can your team and the AI assistants they already use read and write the same notes together, without copy-paste in the middle? Real-time co-authoring Edit the same note simultaneously with your team. Everyone's cursor is visible, and no one's changes are ever overwritten. AI assistants work alongside your team Orbit speaks the Model Context Protocol (MCP), so Copilot, Claude, Codex, and other MCP-compatible assistants connect directly to your workspace. They search, read, and update notes with the same permissions and version history as any team member, and every change they make is tracked like a human edit. Ask Claude to draft a support runbook from a conversation and it patches the note in Orbit. Ask Copilot what the team decided about a rollout and it reads the answer straight from your wiki. Documentation gets captured as part of the work, not written up after the fact. Connected documentation Link related notes as you write. Backlinks, full-text search, and a workspace graph keep information easy to locate as your wiki grows. Writing that feels effortless A plain editor that formats as you type: headings, checklists, tables, diagrams, and maths, with no toolbar in the way. Your documents never leave your organisation Orbit authenticates with your Microsoft accounts and writes every note directly to the SharePoint sites and OneDrive folders you designate. There's no separate data store and nothing is copied to Orbit's servers. Your existing permissions, retention policies, and compliance tooling apply exactly as they do for any other file in your tenant. If someone can't open a file in SharePoint, they can't open it in Orbit, so your IT team stays in control. No lock-in Every note is a standard markdown file in OneDrive or SharePoint. If you ever stop using Orbit, your content stays exactly where it always was, with no export step required. You can keep reading and editing the files with any tool you like. Getting started Install Orbit from the Teams Store using your Microsoft identity. Ten seats are included, with no request form and no credit card. Choose a SharePoint site or OneDrive folder where your notes will be stored. Invite your team and start writing together, right inside Microsoft Teams. Orbit is free to install, with the first 10 seats included on every tenant.

Trace By Fervon

Trace by Fervon is a personal memory tool that runs entirely on your own machine. It captures lightweight signals — browser history across every profile, the active window, the clipboard, optionally your shell history — and turns them into a searchable timeline of what you read, wrote and worked on. It does not record your screen: no screenshots, no video, no audio, no OCR. That is why it stays small enough to leave running — a sliver of disk per day instead of gigabytes per month. Nothing leaves the machine: no account, no cloud sync, no telemetry, and a dashboard served on 127.0.0.1. The licence is verified offline, so the software never phones home. Exclude domains and keywords and those pages are never written to disk at all. Beyond full-text search there is semantic search over a private local index, a day-by-day timeline, tags, weekly recaps, per-application usage and an encrypted backup vault. Windows, macOS and Linux. A one-time purchase, not a subscription.
