What is FLY(er)?

The short version: a free, live social network where the words do the work. The long version, with every detail, is right here.

Free on iPhone, iPad and Mac. On Android? Install it from the web.

FLY(er) in one paragraph

FLY(er) is a social network that runs on a live timeline. You post short updates, called flights. The people who follow you see them the moment you post, in order, on their timeline, called the radar. You follow the artists, creators, brands and friends you want to hear from, and that's what you get: no ads in between and no algorithm picking for you. It's free, and it's on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Vision Pro, Android and the web.

Who it's for

Everyone with something to say. FLY(er) puts artists, creators, influencers, brands and public figures at the center, and puts everyone else in the same room with them. It isn't a fan club and it isn't only for musicians. It's a place where culture happens first, and where you see it as it happens.

FLY(er) is where you're in the same room as the people setting the culture, not watching it later.

How it works

If you've posted anywhere before, you already know FLY(er). Only the words changed:

  • A flight is a post. Add a poll, a thread, a photo or a whole article.
  • A ReFlight shares someone's flight with your followers. Add words and it's a quote flight.
  • The radar is your timeline: Main radar for everyone, Following for the people you follow.
  • A charter is a room, public or private, for the people you choose.
  • A Flyer is you, and everyone else on FLY(er).

What makes it different

The timeline is yours. Flights arrive in the order they're posted. Nothing is pushed in and nothing is held back.

Verification means something. The black-and-gold seal goes to real public figures and can't be bought, so you know who's real.

Status is earned. Points come from real activity, and 10,000 unlocks perks like image flights, styled words and premium avatars. Here's how the crown works.

Your profile is a page you'll want to share. Styles that paint the whole page, photo backgrounds, a Top 8, and a free link in bio with its own address.

Music has real tools. Smart links that open on every service, release countdowns, and the monthly FLY(er) Charts.

What it costs

Nothing. FLY(er) is free to download and free to use, with no subscription. There are optional support purchases in the app that help keep FLY(er) ad-free. They don't unlock anything, because nothing on FLY(er) is for sale.

Where you can use it

The FLY(er) app is on the App Store for iPhone, iPad, Mac with Apple silicon and Apple Vision Pro. On Android, FLY(er) installs from the web and sits on your home screen like any app; the guide takes two minutes. On any computer, it runs in the browser. One account works everywhere.

Who made it

FLY(er) is independent. It was designed and built by Joseph Rochlin, the recording artist known as Jöí Fabü, who wanted a network where the words do the work and the checkmark still means something. Read the story.
