Relatica vs Flare

A client for Friendica social network users

Flare is a unified client for the social web. Browse, post, and interact across Mastodon, Bluesky, X, Misskey, and Nostr — all from a single app. MULTIPLE PLATFORMS, ONE TIMELINE Connect accounts from five social networks and see everything in one unified feed. No more switching between apps to keep up with your communities. Flare merges your timelines into a single, chronological stream — or keep them separate, your choice. CROSS-POST IN ONE TAP Compose a post once, publish it to multiple accounts and platforms simultaneously. Flare automatically adapts to the constraints of each platform — character limits, media rules, poll options — so you don't have to think about it. NATIVE ON EVERY DEVICE Flare is built natively for each platform — not a stretched phone app. On iPhone, a familiar tab bar and single-column feed. On iPad, multi-column layouts, side-by-side panels, and a navigation rail. On Mac, a persistent sidebar, floating compose dialog, and media viewer in its own window. Your experience adapts to your screen. Also available on Android, Windows, and Linux — each with dedicated layouts. BUILT FOR POWER USERS - Customizable tab bar: pin any timeline, list, feed, channel, or RSS source as a tab - Full compose features: polls, content warnings, media with alt text, visibility controls, language tags, custom emoji - Direct messages (Bluesky, X) - Draft system with auto-recovery - Local keyword filters with per-context controls RSS READER BUILT IN Subscribe to RSS and Atom feeds right alongside your social timelines. Import feeds via OPML. Read full articles with built-in readability extraction. Your social media and news reading in one place.
