01
Agents do the work. A person decides what comes in.
Agents can propose anything. They can never put work into your orbit for you. That one decision, what you work on next, stays yours.
01 · the brief
A company run by agents still needs one place where a human decides.
Brainy runs on agents: they write, file, follow up and ship. What was missing was the control plane, a single view of everything in motion where the founder keeps attention and admission, from a laptop or a phone. Orreryo is that view, and it is built for the life around the work too.
02
One sky for the work and the life around it.
Every product and every part of a life gets an engine. The studio sits next to health, the shop next to home, because attention is one budget, not two.
03
Calm is a feature.
No inbox, no countdowns, nothing that decays. Text appears when you ask for it. A full ring means something finishes or steps back.

03 · the model
Your life and your work as a galaxy of engines.
The interface is the model. Before a single screen was drawn, the words were fixed: what an engine is, how many worlds a ring holds, where waiting work lives, and what happens when you finish.
01an engine
One for every product you run and every part of your life you tend. These are not suns: a sun gives its light away, these take it in.
02three rings
Hot is due within days, working is this week, patient can wait. Each ring holds a hard number of worlds: three, four and five.
03the line
Everything else waits outside the rings, in weight order. Work from anywhere, an agent included, lands here. You decide what comes in.
04it falls in
Finish a world and it drops into the core. Nothing is thrown away: it becomes mass, and the mass is the record.
- galaxy
- one person’s whole sky
- engine
- a product or a part of a life, up to ten
- world
- one live piece of work, circling its engine
- rings
- hot, working, patient: three, four and five worlds
- the line
- everything waiting, outside the rings
- mass
- what you finished, never decays
- the road
- the videos and articles you kept
- the mind
- the one that sees the whole sky, and talks
04 · the sky, live
The galaxy, the jump, and an engine, running on the product's own code.
This is not a video. It is the app's own rimlight shader, pixel skin and scenes, running here as they run in orreryo: the road of engines, the dive into one of them, its three rings, and a finished world falling in. Scroll, and it plays forward or back.
05 · the journey
From the front door to the mind.
Six moments, in the order a new operator meets them. Every screen is the live product.
01 · the door
Invite only, for now.
Two doors and nothing else: sign in, or ask for an invite. The landing page promises only what the product does today, so there is no open sign-up on it. The gate itself lives on the server.
02 · genesis
It learns you before it carries you.
The first run is a conversation, not a form. Six questions about where you are going and what you carry, then four that tune the sky to you, the way you would choose the difficulty of a game. It ends with your first two engines: one for your life, one for your work.
> yuri
i'm yuri. i run this with you, and i need to learn you before i can carry you. pick a way in.
> yuri . the end . 1 of 6
it's three years from now and things went right. what is true that isn't true today?
> yuri . the pile . 5 of 6
empty your head. everything you're carrying, one line each.
> yuri . falling behind
last few. this sky gets tuned to you, like choosing the difficulty of a game. how should falling behind feel?
take your time. it waits.
03 · the galaxy
You, and your engines along a road.
You are the light at the origin. Your engines sit in a row across the sky in the order you set, each one a product you run or a part of your life you tend. Tap the origin and you talk to the whole galaxy at once.
04 · one engine
The rings are the whole signal.
Dive into an engine and its live work circles it in three rings. Hover for a quick read, open a world for the detail. The line waits in the menu with a count that disappears at zero, because an empty queue is not a control.
05 · finishing
Finish something. It falls in.
Closing a world drops it into the core and the core grows, for life. There is no decay and no countdown: finishing should feel like finishing, not like a machine handing you the next ticket.
06 · the mind
And a mind that knows the whole sky.
Type to it, or open the channel and talk, and cut in while it answers. It is the same mind that answers on Telegram, and it can see every engine, every ring and the line.
06 · the interface
Lit from behind. One light for the whole product.
The first galaxy drew every engine as a sun, a bright disc giving its light away. The rebuild turns it around: these are not suns, they take light in. Every body is lit from behind, a hot crest, the engine's own colour down the sides, deep at the foot, and planets turn their lit edge toward the core they orbit, so the light itself says what belongs to what.
before: the classic look, an engine drawn as a sun
after: rimlight, the same engine
Proximity is priority.
What is closest to the core matters most. Position carries the meaning that labels would otherwise have to.
Text when you ask.
Words appear on hover or tap, never as a wall of labels over the sky.
No boxes in the sky.
Inside the galaxy the controls are plain words in a row: guide, add, arrange, routines, settings, the line.
One ink for every orbit.
Every ring is drawn in the same bone tone. Colour belongs to the bodies, never to the lines between them.
One skin, everywhere.
The galaxy, every engine and the landing page share one pixel pass, so the product and its front door cannot drift apart.
Fast enough to forget.
The landing page runs at the display’s full refresh rate, and the galaxy holds 60 frames a second on a phone slowed four times.
An engine in sea. Each engine takes one of eight colours, and the whole scene is lit in it.
07 · the ai layer
Agents propose. You admit.
Agents read and write Orreryo as much as its operator does, so their side was designed like an interface. They get one door. What they bring waits in the line, and nothing an agent does can put work into a ring or send anything irreversible without asking first.

Before anything that cannot be undone, an agent calls request_approval and waits. Drafts wait for the operator: an agent never sends.
Agents never take an orbit slot.
“Finishing something should feel like finishing something, not like the machine handing you the next ticket.”
Work nobody has placed gets its own home.
“A catch-all is a decision made on the operator’s behalf.”
Old tools are removed, not labelled.
“An agent scanning tool names picks the one matching the concept, and the word DEPRECATED never beat it.”
32 tools, one hosted server.
Any agent with a workspace key speaks to a galaxy over MCP. The tool names are the product's own words, so an agent that reads the list already knows the model. A full read of a galaxy went from 919 KB to 9.2 KB a call when the read model was rebuilt for agents.

08 · the mark
Drawn, not typed. Two shapes make every letter.
Founder Mehran drew the wordmark himself, wordmark only, no symbol. The o's are true ellipses, 179 by 148. The e is the same ellipse opened at the lower right, and its crossbar is the ring, 245 by 28, so the world and its orbit are one stroke. The r and the y come from Syne, tuned until every gap reads the same.
The e alone is a world wearing its ring.
It is the app icon, the avatar and the favicon. Below 32 pixels it switches to a heavier cut, thicker strokes and a longer ring, so the ring still reads at sixteen.
Aligned by its frame. The tail hangs.
The logo's frame is its x-height, from the top of the o to the baseline. The y's tail hangs below it like hanging punctuation, so the word is aligned and spaced by the letters you see. Alone in a field it is centred on that frame, then lifted by a quarter of the tail.

09 · colour
Mostly night. One accent. Eight lights.
Four colours carry the brand and one of them is the accent, halo, the cream at the top of a lit world. Every engine takes one of eight lights, and each light is a triad: hot at the crest, its own colour down the sides, deep at the foot.

The light is after “INSIDE OUT THE COLOR . SOLAR SYSTEM”, the reference the product's look was built on, and the brand art is drawn by a port of the product's own shader, so a cover and a screen are lit the same way.

One word changes the voice of everything.
Funnel Display is the voice: warm and confident at large sizes, calm in small labels. Geist is for anything a person has to read. In the brand file every style takes its family from one token, so swapping the voice is a single change. Try it.

Geist
The reading face, already in the product: paragraphs, long interface copy, anything a person reads rather than glances at.
11 · pattern and skin
Rising worlds, laid like scales.
Horizons is the hero pattern: every scale a world lit from behind, every row standing in front of the one above. One colour to a tile, chosen by the engine of the scene. It repeats forever without a seam.
The sky, and the skin over it.
The sky pattern is small worlds lit from above and single bright cells for stars, wrapped so nothing breaks at an edge. Over everything the brand draws sits one house skin: the scene sampled once per pixel cell, a dark scanline every third pixel, and fine grain. The product draws it the same way.
The patterns in use: a phone wallpaper, a card, the horizons tile, a banner, and the icon in three colourways.
12 · out in the world
Covers and templates, all from the same parts.
Seven covers at each platform's own size and ten templates for posts, carousels, stories and release notes. One eyebrow, one headline, one door, and the worlds lit the way the product lights them.
13 · the brand inside
Names, a voice, and a brand file that works.
A product run with agents is spoken about by agents too, so its words had to be exact. The names are few and fixed, the interface speaks in short lowercase sentences, and the brand file is built like a tool the team and the agents both use.
orreryo
the product. An orrery with an o: a working model of the sky. It was called Uprator until September; uprator.com stays, because those are addresses, not names.
zero
the codename for the galaxy app, rebuilt in three acts: the look, the build, alive.
the operator
what the product calls the person it serves. Not a user: the one at the controls.
yuri
the resident who meets a new operator, interviews them and carries them from then on.
the gardener
the one rail allowed to move many worlds at once, run by hand, never by an agent.
the mind
the one that sees the whole sky, on the screen and on Telegram.
The voice, in its own words.
Lowercase, unhurried, never a countdown. The name is always written orreryo, one word, even at the start of a sentence.
- these are not suns.
- a sun gives its light away. these take it in.
- nothing you finish is thrown away. it becomes mass, and the mass is the record.
- you decide what comes in.
- take your time. it waits.
The brand file is a tool.
- 7 pages
- cover, logo, colour, type, pattern, social, components
- tokens
- primitives, semantic in dark and light, spacing, and type: one word changes every heading
- components
- the wordmark on its x-height frame, the e-mark and its small cut, the bracket door, the house skin, the patterns
- a renderer
- every cover is rendered, not painted, by a port of the product’s own shader, so a new size is a command, not a redraw
invite only, for now.
Live at uprator.com, where Brainy's products and its founder's life now run.
