A preview of our upcoming redesign
Spatie Team
Flare was launched almost four years ago. In human life, that's not too long, but for a service, that's a lifetime. Over the years, we had quite some ideas on how to improve the user experience for Flare. We hope you'll be happy to know that for the past few months, our team has been working hard on a total redesign of the service. By rethinking and streamlining the whole process, we hope to have created lots of improvements you'd like. Launch is planned in May.
Homepage
Our complete marketing site has a fresh new coat of paint. We changed the dark purple background to a lighter variant.

Docs
We have rewritten the docs to be updated with the upcoming changes.

Ignition
The Ignition landing page has been updated and Ignition itself has also been updated to align with the latest Laravel 10 style.

Platform
We didn't only redesign the marketing pages, but the entire application. Here are a few screens.

Here's what a list of projects looks like.

When creating a project, you'll get improved installation instructions.

The error detail page has been built from the ground up.

From the error details, you can quickly jump to the new insights pages. You can see a list of URLs where the error occurred or a list of users who might have seen this error. In this case, it was only me, phew!

In closing
We hope that you like this preview. Only a few screens are shown, but we're giving our entire UI this treatment. We're not there yet, and more work has to be done, but we're confident we'll launch the redesign in May.
This redesign will also be the starting point of new features we'll add after launch.
Flare is one of the best error trackers for Laravel and PHP projects. We display the most important aspects of issues that happened in your production environment in our beautiful UI.

Why we removed AI solutions from Flare
AI generated solutions are dead, long live AI generated solutions! We removed the old one-shot fixes from a model that could only see the stack trace. It simply couldn't compete with modern agentic AI. In their place, Flare works with the agentic AI tools you already use: an MCP server that handles real triage, a CLI with an agent skill, quick Copy for AI prompts in the UI and docs served as markdown. Hosted agents are in the works too.

Flare now uses OAuth for MCP, the CLI, and API
Connect MCP clients like Claude and Cursor to Flare by logging in from your browser, no more copying API tokens. Every connection gets its own permissions, so you can give your AI read-only access to a single project. The CLI signs in the same way, and new personal access tokens with scopes and expiry cover scripts and CI.
