FLAM

On your phone

FLAM works with one thumb. Four tabs at the bottom of the screen, the chat in the middle of them, the room you are in named at the top. Watch a run move through its steps, hand pieces to the house by tapping, and type without the keyboard covering the box.

Open FLAM in your phone's browser and it works the way a phone works. There is nothing to install and no separate app — it is the same studio, laid out for a thumb.

One thumb

The four tabs

The bottom of the screen holds four tabs:

  • Setup — your models, poses and backgrounds.
  • Make — packshots, lookbooks, workflows and the single tools.
  • Yours — your collections, the darkroom, and your pieces.
  • Explore — work from outside your house.

In the middle of the bar sits the house — the chat. It is one tap away from every screen.

There used to be two rows you scrolled sideways to reach a section. Those are gone. Nothing on a phone scrolls sideways any more.

Changing rooms

The top bar names the room you are in. Tap the name and the full list of rooms opens, with your own collections under it. Pick one and you are there.

Your settings, billing and invitations are behind your picture in the top bar — the place every phone puts them.

The chat steps aside

On a desktop the chat sits beside the work. A phone has one screen, so the chat has to share it — and it does this itself:

  • When the house builds something you asked for, the sheet drops so you can watch the work happen. One line stays visible on the sheet's edge, telling you what just landed.
  • It rises again only when there is a price to answer. The house never takes the screen just to talk.
  • If you move the sheet yourself, the house stops moving it. Your hand wins.

The tab bar stays visible even when the chat is fully open, so the way out is never buried.

Watching a run

On a desktop, a running workflow shows every frame in a grid. A phone screen cannot hold a grid of twenty-four frames, so it shows the run differently: the workflow's shape is drawn once — each step, the split where one piece becomes four colourways, the point where they rejoin — and the frames travel through it. You can see which step is running and how far through it is.

A skipped frame says why it was skipped, right there in the flow, and a skipped frame is never charged.

Handing pieces to the house

On a desktop you drag pieces onto the chat. A phone has no drag, so:

  1. Tap the pieces you want. The count appears on the house's button in the tab bar.
  2. Tap the button. The pieces are handed to the chat.
  3. Say what you want done with them. Nothing is sent, and nothing is charged, until you do.

Typing

The keyboard never covers the box you are typing in — not in the chat, not in the room picker's search. Everything you can press is sized for a finger, and the layout respects the edges of every device, notch and all.

One honest limit

FLAM cannot ring your phone yet. A finished run does not send a notification — but the work does not need you to watch it. Close the browser mid-develop, come back later, and the frames are in your library.
