One post. Two networks. Zero hassle. Talrik lets you cross-post to Bluesky and Mastodon simultaneously from one beautiful, native app. Compose your post, select your platforms, and hit publish. Talrik sends your content to both platforms at the same time - no copying and pasting between apps, no switching back and forth. SUPPORTED PLATFORMS - Bluesky (AT Protocol) - Mastodon (any instance) KEY FEATURES Instant Multi-Post Select which platforms to post to with simple toggles. Your content reaches Bluesky and Mastodon simultaneously with a single tap. Image Attachments Attach up to 4 images per post. Pick from your photo library or paste from your clipboard. Images are automatically resized and compressed for each platform. Automatic Threading Write as much as you want. Long posts are automatically split into threads at word boundaries, with each platform getting its own optimized thread count. Smart Character Count Real-time per-platform character counting with color-coded warnings. Bluesky (300) and Mastodon (varies by instance) have different limits - Talrik tracks them all. See threading info before you post. Post History Track all your posts with detailed history. Retry failed posts, view them on their original platform, or clear them out. Draft Autosave Never lose a thought. Your draft, platform selection, and attached images are automatically saved as you type. Secure Authentication - Bluesky: App password authentication - Mastodon: Full OAuth 2.0 flow All credentials are stored securely in your device's Keychain. No passwords are ever stored in plain text. PRIVACY FIRST Your credentials are encrypted in your device's Keychain. No servers, no data collection, no tracking, no ads. Talrik communicates directly with each platform - your data never passes through our servers because we don't have any. TRULY NATIVE Not a web wrapper. Built with SwiftUI for the best Apple experience. Dark Mode, Dynamic Type, VoiceOver, and keyboard navigation all supported. Feels right at home on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. No subscription required.
