Open Beta · Editorial feature status

What Recline does today—and what's still being tested.

A product in open beta should be honest about what works, what has restrictions and what is not ready. These descriptions reflect the available source and public product documentation, not a new independent live test of every feature.

What that means
Accounts & community Spaces
Open beta

Username/password registration, channels, invitations and roles are represented in the current product. Test-account signup and recovery should still be checked before making reliability claims.

Messaging & direct messages
Open beta

Text messaging and direct messages are available as beta capabilities. Metadata remains server-readable; not all uploads have message-text encryption.

Voice & video
Open beta

WebRTC calling exists, but quality and connectivity depend on browsers, networks and relay availability.

Sparks rewards & on-platform use
Open beta

Daily rewards, tips and presentation features are implemented. A Sparks balance does not establish cashout eligibility.

Sparks purchasing & Stripe
Restricted / verify

Stripe purchase code exists, but purchase availability and refund behaviour must be checked against the live application before enabling or advertising a specific offer.

Creator cashouts
Safety review

Eligibility and source-of-funds controls are undergoing further verification. No user should assume purchased, promotional or mixed-origin Sparks can be withdrawn. Verify actual availability in the application.

Crypto payments / Plisio
Not publicly launched

Prototype/staging work is not a production feature. No crypto payout should be advertised as available until independently tested and approved.

Expanded profiles
Development

Customizable banners, status and profile details have been developed separately. The build and database tests have not yet established a general public release.

Payments and withdrawals are not the same thing.

Sparks used for participation, rewards, purchasing or cosmetics do not automatically represent verified earnings. Cashouts, where enabled, require eligible earnings and additional checks. Purchases should not be made on the assumption they can later be withdrawn.

Privacy boundary

Encryption has limits.

Current channel/DM text uses client-side encryption. Service metadata and file uploads have different protections, and there has not yet been an independent formal security audit. Read the full explanation before relying on the service for sensitive material.
