Features
Made for Mac
Developed with AppKit for macOS, with native windows, menus, settings, sharing, notifications, and system behavior.
Drawers with memory
Open profiles, conversations, interactions, quote posts, edit history, threads, and links without losing your place.
Timeline media
Browse photos and videos from the timeline in a dedicated media viewer with slideshow-style navigation.
Reader built in
Turn links and toot threads into focused reader articles directly from drawers and context menus.
Share into Mastodon
Send web pages, links, and selected text from macOS sharing flows straight into the composer.
Focused timelines
Use lists, hashtag filters, favorites, profile views, notifications, messages, and search as separate places.
Notifications included
Push notifications keep mentions and interactions visible, with controls for badges and background refresh.
Small Things
- Context menus
- Copy text, copy links, reveal posts, inspect boosts and favorites, and keep moving.
- Multiple identities
- Pro unlocks additional Mastodon accounts for people who live in more than one place.
- Hashtag quieting
- Pro filters help keep noisy tags out of the way without changing your whole account.
- Direct messages
