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, and who to reach out to today.
iPhone today. Android soon.
This is what your Orb sounds like.
Maya opens Flare on her way out. No catching up, no tapping around. Seventeen seconds later she knows where her people are and who to text back.
Maya's Orb, this morning
Austin, Tuesday
Leo's been at the studio three nights this week, and he sounded good about it. Sofia's back on coffee runs near campus, so you two are overlapping again. Today is Nico's birthday. Want me to tell him something?
Word by word, so you can read it when you can't listen.
You have a conversation. The check-in comes out of it.
Telling your Orb about your day is the same act that keeps your friends close. One conversation, both directions, thirty seconds, and you're out.
01
It opens talking.
One to three fresh things, picked because they matter to you. Never a blank screen, never a question you have to answer first.
02
You just talk.
Where you are, what you're doing, how it felt: your Orb pulls it out of the conversation on its own. That's a flare. No forms, no posing, no second take.
03
It points you at a person.
"Want me to tell Leo you're at the usual coffee shop?" You decide what travels, and who hears it.

15 seconds, live camera only.

Taken now. Never from the camera roll.
Voice note
30 seconds, in your actual voice.
Mood
An emoji and one word.
Your Orb knows your friendships.
Not a room full of strangers. Five to fifteen people you actually talk to, and everything your Orb has picked up about how you two show up for each other.
When you can't talk, it's all still there.

Three things your Orb is always working on.
You never manage any of it. There is nothing to set up and nothing to check. It just gets better at knowing you.
What your friends are up to
It notices what's happening with your friends and tells you the parts you would have wanted to know.
"Leo's been at the studio three nights this week."
The patterns in your own life
It shows you how your weeks actually go, without you tracking a single thing.
"You move more after long work blocks. That's two weeks running."
What's forming between you
It spots what's building between you and the people who matter, usually before you notice it yourself.
"Sofia keeps showing up around the creative parts of your week."
Conversations get shorter over time, not longer. The more it knows, the less it has to ask.
It speaks first. It doesn't nag.
A couple of times a day, when there is something worth saying. You set the cadence, and you can turn it off in one tap.

Today is Nico's birthday. Want to say something?
One conversation a day. That's the whole app.
Your Orb starts talking the first time you open it, before a single friend shows up.
