What's New in Skyscraper for Bluesky

1.7.1

September 26, 2026

Release 1.7.1 brings Skyscraper to your Home Screen and Lock Screen with widgets, makes the Mac app feel right at home on a keyboard, and fixes a long list of bugs. ## NEW - Widgets for your Home Screen and Lock Screen: Timeline, Timeline Photo, Followers, Latest Followers, Recent Activity, Post Performance, Saved Posts, On This Day, Trending, Trending Topics, and Weekly and Monthly Recaps. - Introducing Skyscraper for Apple TV! Watch your feeds on the big screen, play videos, and follow a hashtag or an account. - Explore has a scrolling ticker of trending hashtags. - Lists show whether they're pinned to your feeds. - Saved Posts loads your whole list, and Unsave All clears it. - Share sheet: add alt text to shared images, or generate it with Apple Intelligence, in your post's language. - Compact Media Thumbnails can be set separately on iPhone, iPad and Mac. - Mac: standard keyboard shortcuts, arrow keys to open and leave posts, a new Post menu, and ↑/↓ in Chats and Notifications. - Mac: paste or drag images and videos into the composer. - Publications (Standard.site) load faster. - The manager has Following, Popular, Trending and Cam's Picks tabs, plus search. - On the Publications feed, a ? button replaces the avatar, and sites open in the in-app browser. - Polish and Hungarian localizations, plus string and translation updates. ## IMPROVED - Apple Watch: opening the app fetches fresh posts, even when Skyscraper isn't open on your iPhone. - iPad: larger compact thumbnails, narrower quoted posts in wide layouts, and the sidebar remembers if you hid it. - Thread replies use distinct colors on Mac, and threads continue past the first level. - Icons and chat screens follow your theme everywhere. ## FIXED - The Following feed updates more reliably in some unusual situations. - Switching feeds or accounts no longer shows the previous one's posts or notifications. - Logging out of one account takes you to Home on the remaining account and stops its notifications. - Tapping like, repost or bookmark twice in a post's detail view now undoes it. - Editing a quote post keeps the quote. - Lists that fail to load no longer vanish from your feed order, and removed feeds stay removed. - Translated posts no longer revert as you scroll. - Chat: older messages no longer vanish on refresh, and the newest stays visible above the keyboard. - Composer: alt text and pasted images survive edits, and Button Shapes no longer pushes your post off-screen. - Profile: switching tabs quickly no longer mixes posts, and new names and avatars show right away. - Search stops refreshing when you're not looking, and muted accounts stay hidden. - Adding someone to a list no longer adds them twice. - Closing a link opened from a sheet no longer closes the sheet too. - Long names in Notifications no longer run under badges. - Custom themes sync their light and dark palettes across devices. - Apple Watch: large images no longer crash the app. - Fixed crashes when opening a deleted or blocked thread. - Mac: videos and quoted posts no longer clip the action bar, and the sign-in window opens in front. - Vision Pro: choosing a photo in the composer works reliably.

Truly native bsky app

As far as I can tell, this is about the only native client for Bluesky on iOS. It's at least the most customizable. I've never been able to settle on a 3rd party bsky client until someone suggested I try this. I don't even like using the official site on desktop anymore. You get custom themes, plenty of settings to change what you see on the timeline, automatic translation... one of my faves is the ability to show only a little thumbnail for images. This is peak 3rd party Twitter app before Elon ran it all into the ground. Absolutely love this. Actively maintained too — the biggest plus. I will say, one option I would like is to *not* save the timeline position. I like seeing a fresh feed every time and being able to pull to refresh and go straight to the top/latest.

Update: this is a very very minor gripe lol I'm actually getting used to tapping the "x posts above" button the more I use it.

Thank you for the very kind comments and review! Glad you are enjoying Skyscraper! I will take a look at adding some sort of option for the feeds to always pull latest. May be a bit of work with how I built the app, but I’ll see what I can do!

Works!

I was looking for a client that synced across platforms and that returned me to where I left off rather than shoot me to the last posting. And I generally works!

If you use Bluesky on a Mac, iPad or iPhone, you need this app!

Thank you so much for the review, it's greatly appreciated! Glad you love the new Mac release!

Nice but frustrating

This is a really nice looking native ipad bluesky app... When it works. The problem is that it repeatedly asks you to sign in over and over and over again. If I'm gonna have to resign into bluesky every time I use the app, then I'm just not going to use it anymore.

Hey there and thanks for using Skyscraper. Bluesky’s OAuth implementation limits the amount of time an account can be logged in, and requires consistent token refreshes. This can be a problem on iOS where an app can’t live persistently in the background and refresh automatically. If you have this issue, we recommend you consider creating an app password on the Bluesky app/website, and login using this instead. This login method can persist much longer and resolve this issue for you.

Pretty dang good. Just needs one fix.

Okay new problem. It logged me out and says I have to log back in. Why? This is a cool alternative to the Bluesky app. It takes a little to get adjusted to. But, I just noticed something. Under Notifications, it was something like John Doe and x Others followed you. But, when you tap it, it only shows John Doe’s profile and doesn’t show a list of the other x people.

Edit July 13th: FYI, this has been fixed and is pushed to the store in version 1.5.1! Hey there, thanks for the review! That was a slight change in the latest release and probably needs more granularity. I’ll work on fixing it in the next release. Thanks for checking out Skyscraper and thanks for the review!
