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 what a chat question needs: the tools run in the browser, and only the fact a tool returns — a count, a page of usernames, a yes or no — goes to the model.

05the product

The live app.

  1. 01

    One page, one promise

    The landing page explains the whole product: export your data from Instagram, drop it in, ask questions. No login and no password.

  2. 02

    The chat is the product

    There is no dashboard to learn. The chat screen opens with a drop zone for the export and says, in plain words, which single feature sends anything off the device.

  3. 03

    The boundary, written down

    The privacy page draws the same line as the code: the export goes from the file into the browser for local analysis, and the upload path to a server does not exist.
