Someone has asked you for a safety boundary. Here is what it means

A safety boundary in Orbily only exists if you agree to it. This guide shows what a request tells you, what happens if you accept, and how to switch it off later — at any time, with no reason needed.

Step by step

  1. Open the request

    It arrives as a notification, and waits on the orbit's people list, from the person who asked.

  2. Check the area and the times

    You see the exact shape on a map, when it applies, and what they will be told if you leave it.

  3. Accept, or say Not now

    Not now declines this request with no follow-up. Accepting starts the boundary at its next window.

  4. Switch it off whenever you want

    Every boundary set for you is listed in Settings with its own switch. Turning one off takes effect at once, and the person who asked learns it is off, never why.

  5. Or stop all requests

    Turn off Allow boundary requests in Settings, and nobody can ask, and every boundary set for you stops.

Will I know when they are told?

Yes. If you leave the area while it is on, the alert you get says they were told. Both of you are told when each window starts and finishes.

Questions people ask next

No. Orbily keeps only the direction and the time of each crossing, never where you went inside or outside the area.
