## What is Ruct?

You have to be there to read it. Ruct is a new kind of social network built around location.

Every post is tied to where it was created, and only people nearby can read it. Step outside, walk your city, and discover the voices and stories of places you've never known — Ruct delivers an experience of discovery through place.

Discover Posts Nearby
Switch your viewing range with distance filters: 30m, 100m, 500m, 2km, and 10km. From someone posting in the same café to the voices of an entire city — every walk and every outing surfaces something new.

Post Photos & Videos to Your Location
Share text, photos, and videos (up to 60 seconds) tied to where you are right now. Place names are added automatically, so "where you posted from" comes across effortlessly.

Explore Your Surroundings on the Map
Nearby posts appear as markers on the map, giving you an at-a-glance view of what's happening around you. Use hashtag search to explore related posts across Japan and around the world, right on the map.

No Distance Limits for People You Follow
Posts from people you follow are always available in the "Following" tab, wherever you are. Enjoy both nearby discovery and the voices of people you're connected to.

Features for Peace of Mind
・Private accounts (follow-request based)
・Block and mute users
・Reporting (6 categories)
・30-day account restoration after deletion

Like, Reruct, Comment & Save
Connect through likes and comments. Share posts you love to your own profile with a "Reruct." Save posts to revisit them later.

Great For When You Want To
・Enjoy your walks and strolls even more
・Discover a side of your own town you've never seen
・Find posts unique to a place while you travel
・Know what's being talked about in your neighborhood right now
・Loosely connect with your local community

Ruct is the social network where places start to speak. It's a new experience that doesn't stay inside your phone — one that makes you want to head outside.

※ Location Services permission is required.
※ Available to users aged 13 and older.

### 1.1.1 — 2026-07-13

Minor corrections have been made.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-06-24

What's New in v1.1.0

- Audio posts are here. Record up to 20 seconds of sound to capture the mood of
  a place with your voice. Playback is automatically loudness-normalized for
  comfortable listening.
- Light / Dark theme support. The app follows your system setting and can also
  be switched manually between light and dark in-app.
- Comments (replies) are now threaded with unlimited nesting, so you can follow
  conversations any number of levels deep. Comments can also be liked, reructed,
  and saved.
- A new side drawer: swipe right from the left edge of the screen to jump
  straight to your profile and settings.
- Birthday greetings (optional, private by default; only month/day is shared,
  only with mutual followers).
- You can now auto-post photos/videos you captured to the location where they
  were taken.
- Added SMS verification when registering or changing your phone number.
- Faster rendering for the timeline, profile, and comment trees for smoother
  scrolling.

Thank you for using Ruct. Send feedback to support@ruct.me.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-05-12

What's New in v1.0.2

- You can now post photos and text without creating an account (anonymous
  posts). Anonymous posts appear with the default avatar and the city/ward
  name of the post location, and are not eligible for likes, reructs,
  comments, follows, or bookmarks. They can still be reported.
- Video uploads now continue in the background on iOS. You can close the
  app mid-upload and the OS will finish the transfer, notifying you via a
  local notification when it completes.
- Replies (comments) can now be liked.
- For the wider "2 km" and "10 km" distance filters, posts from people you
  do not mutually follow are now progressively anonymized to make address
  inference harder (30 m / 100 m / 500 m remain fully visible as before).
- The map's radius circle now follows your current location in real time.
- Reworked the video-upload path to guarantee that capture metadata
  (location, etc.) is always stripped before upload.
- Fixed a momentary flicker on the launch splash screen.
- Fixed a crash during background-upload initialization on some devices.
