What's New in Skyscraper for Bluesky

1.6

August 26, 2026

Release 1.6 is a MAJOR update for Skyscraper. Check out what's new below! ## NEW - Skyscraper now supports macOS natively! Enjoy a fresh, multi-column, native Mac app. - New app icon from the Iconfactory! Available in 3 flavors, standard (changes color based on your device being in light/dark mode), or always view it in the light or dark styles. - Custom Themes: paint Skyscraper and make it yours, with a live preview as you edit. - Community Themes: browse and install themes other Skyscraper users have made, or submit your own for review. - Publications: read the standard.site publications you subscribe to right in the app, including articles the publisher never cross-posted to Bluesky. - Share Post as Image: turn any post into an image, complete with its photos, link card, quoted post and the rest of the author's thread. - Screenshot OCR: pull the text out of any image entirely on your device, ready to select and copy. - View Labels: see exactly which moderation labels a post carries, who applied them and when. - Account Data: browse your own repository in plain English or raw AT Proto, including records written by other AT Proto apps. - Post timestamps can now show the actual clock time instead of "2h", from Timeline settings. - Long-press a chat to peek at the last few messages without opening it. - LIVE badges now open the stream, and appear in the timeline as well as on profiles. - Mute someone's quote posts, alongside the existing repost mute. - Translate your own draft in the composer before you post it. - Dutch and French added as new internationalized languages in-app. ## IMPROVED - Chat unread checks use far less data — about 100 MB an hour less while the app sits idle. - The timeline decodes images off the main thread, so scrolling stays smooth. - Your reading position now remembers how far into a post you were, not just which post, and survives a relaunch. - Self-threads draw each post once, and macOS numbers the posts in a thread. - Feeds show how many people have liked them. - New Skyscraper artwork on the loading and sign-in screens, and the app icon picker now credits every icon's designer. ## FIXED - Editing a reply works, and an edited reply stays attached to its thread. - Signing out of one account lands on another instead of the sign-in screen. - Fixed feeds reordering themselves, and an endless rebuild loop that showed up as scroll stutter. - A person who liked several of your posts is counted once in notifications, not once per like. - Reply context shows the quoted post it used to drop. - GIFs play natively instead of through a hidden web view. - Long display names no longer squeeze the timestamp off a row. - Various bug fixes.

Keeps getting better!

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

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.

Response from developer

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!

Developer can’t get out of the way

Very good app. But it’s being constantly updated with very minor bells and whistles and the app is constantly unusable because of all the problems it creates. Just get it consistently functioning and tested better.

Unusable !

This app is a nightmare to use. I have loaded on three account and bought ‘pro’ . The app on numerous occasions refuses to recognise I have a pro account. It also requires be to re-authenticate and add all account details on a number of occasions - frustratingly to use is an understatement. I am now seeking reimbursement from Apple.
