Why Self looks empty

New account, cloud sync off, or no data yet — how to fix each case.

Before you start

  • Signed in to Hub on at least one device.

Steps

  1. 1

    Check the banner at the top of Self — red means cloud Self is disabled; amber may be a partial load.

  2. 2

    Cloud sync off: enable “Sync persona to cloud” in Settings → FlyType Self (Hub) or the Cloud sync toggle in the Self tab (Mac/mobile).

  3. 3

    Training opt-out: Settings → Privacy → disable training opt-out if you want cloud Companion and briefs.

  4. 4

    Brand-new account: complete Self onboarding (5 min) and dictate or add a note — brief and chat need a little data first.

  5. 5

    Chat history empty is normal — you should still see the composer; if you see a decode error, update the app.

  6. 6

    Memory search on Free plan may show upgrade — Trial/Pro unlocks unified memory search.

Common mistakes

  • Brief loads independently from chat history — one failing section should not blank the whole screen.
  • Life notebook (opt-in) pulls notes and dictation into Self over time — not instant on day one.
  • Team accounts: personal Self data stays per user, not shared with admins.
  • Confused by Self vs Memory vs Life vs Mind? Read /help/self/glossary.
