For engineers and SREs

Fast capture in the terminal. Spatial discovery on the web.

Orbgem is a hosted notebook for engineers and SREs: log a line from your shell, let it link itself to what you already know, and find it again on a timeline, a graph or a canvas.

Solo is free. A vault started here begins with Kubernetes, an incident template, a Redis runbook and a raw capture to tidy.

Your terminal

# every capture lands at the top of today's daily note

Mention k8s, auth-service, pg, runbook or cache and watch the graph.

Or try one

Your graphToday links to 0 notes

Today's timeline

  1. Nothing logged yet. Press Enter in the terminal and it lands here.

A live demo with five sample notes. The link matching is the same code the product runs.

Features

Built for the middle of an incident

Write it down from the shell you are already in, and find it again next month wired to every service it touched.

  • Capture without leaving the shell

    orb "text" adds a line to the top of today's daily note in your hosted vault. orb_last saves the command you just ran as a code block.

  • Links that suggest themselves

    As you type, Orbgem matches whole words against note titles and aliases and offers the link. One click turns k8s into [[Kubernetes|k8s]].

  • Commands you fill in, not retype

    A code block with placeholders like <NAMESPACE> renders fill-in fields. Copy gives you the finished command, not the template.

  • Alerts land in the timeline

    On the Sync plan, Alertmanager, Grafana and PagerDuty post straight into today's daily note, linked to the service's note, so each service collects its own incident history.

  • Read your notes from Claude

    Connect Claude to your vault and it can search your notes, open one by name and see your open tasks while you talk to it. Every tool it is given only reads.

  • Collect an incident into a write-up

    Collect takes a run of days, or only the entries you marked with bold text, a highlight or an open task, and drafts a note that embeds each one in order.

Log the next thing that happens

Create a vault, install the shell functions, and write one line. It will be linked and findable before you have decided where it belongs.
