Flare 1.7.0 is out! This is a big step for Flare: the macOS app has been rebuilt as a native app, with a proper Mac sidebar, separate compose/media windows, RSS, DMs, settings, and a smoother overall experience. Also added Pixiv FANBOX support, and a bunch of fixes.

Flare 1.5.1 is rolling out. iOS users can now choose from a set of new alternate app icons in Settings, so your Home Screen can look a little more like yours. Also: I'm planning to bring Flare to the web. More on that soon. Thanks for using Flare!

Flare 1.5.0 is out. This release brings Deck Mode: a multi-column timeline view for people who want to watch several feeds at once. Yes, the thing X Pro puts behind a subscription. In Flare, it’s free. Filters got a big upgrade too. You can now filter each timeline by post type and content type.

A new Flare update has arrived! There are two new timeline display modes, Plain mode lets you make fuller use of your screen width. Gallery mode is much more comfortable to explore media heavy timelines. We’ve also improved the RSS experience with a cleaner article interface.

A new Flare update has arrived. Reading across languages now feels much more natural, with automatic translation and more ways to choose how translations work for you. And for Nostr users, signing in now feels smoother with QR login, and Amber support on Android.
