Orbly

Upload your official Instagram export once, then ask questions about your circle in plain English — who doesn't follow you back, who unfollowed you, whether one account follows you.

01how it works

Export, analyse, compare.

  1. 01

    Export

    Download Followers and Following straight from Instagram. No third-party access.

  2. 02

    Analyse

    Drop the file in. It is read and calculated locally, in the browser.

  3. 03

    Compare

    Import another export later to see what changed between the two.

02the model

Two lists, four groups.

Everything Orbly reports comes from comparing the Followers list against the Following list. The intersection is mutuals; the two differences are the rest.

03snapshots

What changed between two exports.

Import a second export and Orbly keeps both side by side. It can tell you a relationship changed between the two snapshots — not the moment it happened, and nothing from before your first import.

04privacy

The export never leaves the device.

The ZIP is unpacked and analysed in the browser, and snapshots persist in IndexedDB. The one thing that does leave is a chat question, which is answered by a model — so the boundary is drawn where it actually sits.
