UsefulOrbit builds practical software that genuinely helps — browser extensions and online tools for everyday problems around privacy, security, scam protection and money-saving.
What we believe
Software should be boring in the best way: it should just work, stay out of your way, and protect your time, money and attention. We do not chase hype or build features nobody asked for. Every product starts with a real problem someone actually faces, then we design the simplest solution that solves it well.
Our core principles guide everything we ship:
- Useful first. Every product must solve a clear, real-world problem.
- Private by default. Wherever possible, processing happens on your device, not on our servers. Your browsing history, trial data and personal information stay under your control.
- Free at the core. Our extensions are free to use, forever. Optional Pro plans add power for people who want more, but the essentials never sit behind a paywall.
- Transparent and honest. We tell you clearly what our tools do, what they do not do, and how we make money. No dark patterns, no hidden tracking.
Our products
- Scam Guard — real-time protection from phishing, scam and malicious websites. It checks every site you visit against a trusted threat list and inspects links and forms locally on your device.
Who we are
UsefulOrbit was founded by Hassan Arshad, a software developer with a focus on browser security, online privacy, and practical tools that solve real problems. Before starting UsefulOrbit, Hassan built and maintained software used by thousands of people, with a focus on local-first, privacy-respecting design.
Hassan believes that good software should be useful, private by default, and free at its core — and that products people actually rely on deserve clear, honest explanations of how they work.
