Flare - Social Network Client1.7.7

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.

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.

AI-POWERED TRANSLATION & SUMMARIES

Translate posts or get quick summaries with a single tap. Choose between
on-device AI, or connect any API - including self-hosted
models. Fully customizable prompts.
