## What is Flare?

The social network you talk to.

Your Orb knows your friendships.

Open Flare and your Orb is already talking. What your friends have been up to, what changed in your week, who to reach out to today.

Then it asks what you're up to. Your answer is your check-in. No posting, no staging, no camera roll. Show it a photo or a video mid-conversation and it becomes part of the story.

Can't talk out loud? Type instead. Same conversation, same Orb.

Every conversation ends pointing at a friend. And tomorrow your Orb knows more, talks less, and hits harder.

No likes. No followers. No feed of strangers. Just you, your friends, and an Orb that knows you both.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.0.1 — 2026-08-05

The photos and videos your Orb shows you come up faster now, and the ones you capture appear right away. Plus a handful of small fixes.

### 2.0.0 — 2026-07-31

Your Orb holds a real conversation now. It speaks first, you answer, and that answer becomes your check-in. Show it photos and videos while you talk, revisit past conversations whenever you want, and hear about your friends the moment it matters.

### 1.7.1 — 2026-05-29

Your Orb listens better now. Tap it and hear what actually changed this week, in your life and with your friends.
The briefings are sharper, the voice flows more naturally, and your Orb knows when to nudge you to capture a moment or bring a friend in. Fewer false notes, more of what matters.

### 1.6.5 — 2026-05-25

Your Orb got sharper and steadier.
• Voice notes survive flaky networks. If a briefing drops mid-flight, the Orb recovers it the next time you open the app.
• Capture is now tap-proof. Closing or double-tapping during upload won't lose your flare.
• Your Orb listens more carefully. New checks catch and quietly fix activity slips, so what it tells you about friends stays true to what actually happened.
• Cleaner notifications. App pings now show the Flare icon instead of a placeholder.
• Onboarding accepts more phone formats and feels faster.
• Profiles load cleaner across friends and strangers, with no flicker between states.
• Background hardening across the app for a faster, safer Flare.

### 1.6.3 — 2026-05-22

Your Journal now mirrors the conversation you had. Your voice, your Orb's voice, saved as a real back-and-forth.
