What's New in Manfred for Mastodon

2.4.5

October 21, 2026

Thanks for using Manfred! Here is what's new: • Signing in works on servers whose handles use a different domain than the server itself, such as Vivaldi Social. You can also enter the domain from your handle, for example vivaldi.net. • Push notifications no longer stop silently. Manfred renews the subscription by itself when it has become invalid, so you no longer need to switch push off and on again. • Paste a link to a post into the Discover search and the post opens right away, even if it lives on another server. • Link previews show wide images in full instead of cropping them at the sides. • More privacy: Manfred no longer contacts Google when it starts. Firebase is only set up once you turn on push notifications.

Errors logging in

Seems I can’t login to a Vivaldi instance. Tested several times on different days.

Response from developer

Thanks for reporting! Vivaldi Social serves its API on a different domain than its handles, which Manfred didn’t handle. This is fixed in the next update.

Makes good use of the screen size

Well designed Mastodon client. Makes better use of the screen size than the original client, i.e. less unused space on the screen.

I like the layout

I like the layout, simple and clean

Response from developer

Thanks for giving Manfred a try and glad you like it. Make sure to try out the new release 2.2.0 when it comes out. It contains many new features and improvements.

Keine Multispaltenansicht

Ich möchte mehr als nur 2 Spalten darstellen können. Ich möchte die Home-Timeline, die Mentions und alle Listen gleichzeitig nebeneinander dargestellt bekommen. Auch diese App kann das nicht. Ein iPad ist kein iPhone.
Mir bleibt nur die Browseransicht.

Response from developer

Danke für das Feedback. Ich finde es ehrlich gesagt schade, dass die App hier nur einen Stern bekommt. Die Darstellung der Spalten ist ja irgendwo auch nur ein Teilaspekt, aber für dich offenkundig sehr wichtig. Wie dem auch sei, ich habe in den letzten Wochen viel an der App gearbeitet, und du kannst jetzt Spalten konfigurieren bis der Arzt kommt.

Potential

Been using it for a few weeks and not bad.

A few rough edges - often stops any other audio playing when app opens.
Occasional scrolling glitches.

But better than a lot of other Mastodon client apps.
