Tusks makes posting to Mastodon feel like publishing to your blog. This is a Mastodon client with no timeline — just your posts. More specifically, it’s built around threads. Starting a new thread is just as easy as making a single post. But that’s not what makes it special. Tusks actively discourages posting into a vacuum, therefore losing valuable context. This is achieved by making it effortless to continue threading narratives. Each post becomes an update to a bigger story. This priority shift should make your account a higher quality follow. So, who is it for? To be clear, if you don’t post and are not interested in writing, then not you. Otherwise… • If you post regularly, then you. • If you blog, then you. • If you want to write (more), then you. Also: if you post occasionally, then Tusks could encourage you to post more. # Features Tusks show your posts as well as any of your follow-ups to the original post (to be clear, you won’t see any users replies, or your interactions with users). There are several features to help with organizing and publishing. • Pin threads for quick access. • Hide posts that you don’t expect to follow-up, so your list is always relevant. • You can set unique titles for each thread for faster recall. • Search ignores irrelevant posts (i.e. interactions with users). • Write as much as you want in one-go and press a button to split it up into multiple posts. In addition, drafting is a first-class feature. You can draft new threads, and as many follow-ups to already published posts. # Availability Tusks has iOS, iPadOS and macOS clients. A lot of work has gone into optimising for each form factor, so they always feel at home. All your drafts, pins and labels will be synced across your devices too. # Pricing Tusks has all features enabled for free users, except for one.  If you want to publish content to Mastodon, you’ll need to upgrade to Tusks Pro — this is available through an in-app purchase. No subscription required. All payments will be charged to your Apple ID account at the confirmation of purchase. # Privacy Tusks takes your privacy very seriously. It does not store any personal data — it stays completely private.
