When we lost Apollo on June 30, 2023, it was a sad day for all iPhone users. This safari extension makes change to the reddit mobile experience to make it way more usable on iOS. This is not perfect by any stretch of the means, but this gets me (personally) to a good baseline experience and I will be making many more changes in the future.

Features: Browse the frontpage of reddit.com without anything blocking your view Browse the frontpage of reddit.com without having to zoom in Easier to click on button or view comments with bigger buttons View threads and post replies Send and receive private messages Ability to login/logout of your reddit.com account In the future, this will be an entire front end replacement for reddit.
