Trombalsky
Read full descriptionHide full description
Trombalsky brings Mastodon and Bluesky together in one native SwiftUI app. If you use both networks, Trombalsky is built around the way your identities already work. Create an account pair with one Mastodon account and one Bluesky account, switch between multiple pairs for personal, project, company, or community identities, and choose the network scope that fits the moment. Use Mastodon, Bluesky, or Both mode across your main workflows: - Read Mastodon and Bluesky timelines together. - Follow notifications from both networks with clear network context. - Open conversations without losing track of where they came from. - Search posts, users, hashtags, and trends across the selected network scope. - Review liked posts and bookmarks in the same cross-network style. - Switch between the Mastodon and Bluesky profile for the active pair. Trombalsky also works if you only use one network. Sign in with Mastodon, Bluesky, or both, then add more account pairs as your social workflow grows. Built with SwiftUI for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, Trombalsky focuses on a native experience: fast account switching, media viewing, compose flows, content warning handling, push notifications, and a clear distinction between Mastodon and Bluesky content. ## Subscriptions And Lifetime Purchase Trombalsky may require an active subscription or lifetime purchase to unlock app access. Subscription access includes the full Trombalsky client experience while active: Mastodon and Bluesky feeds, notifications, messages, search, posting and replies, media uploads, profile tools, lists, filters, bookmarks, liked posts, account-pair switching, push notification support, and ongoing app updates across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Monthly and yearly subscriptions renew automatically until canceled. Lifetime access is available as a one-time purchase. Available purchase options may include: * a monthly auto-renewable subscription; * a yearly auto-renewable subscription; * a one-time lifetime purchase. Prices, billing periods, free trials, and introductory offers are shown in the app using StoreKit information from Apple. Do not rely on screenshots, marketing text, or old prices if StoreKit displays different current terms at purchase time. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period, or as otherwise described by Apple's App Store terms for your region. You can manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple ID/App Store account settings. Payment, billing, renewal, cancellation, refunds, and family sharing availability are handled by Apple under Apple's App Store terms. Trombalsky does not process payment card details directly. A lifetime purchase unlocks Trombalsky for the Apple ID that purchased it, subject to App Store availability, platform limitations, and these terms.
