Bluesky is the rising star among today's social networks, and it deserves a better app: one that leaves behind slow responsiveness, heavy memory usage that forces frequent restarts, and limited media features. MultiTab for Bluesky is built natively from the ground up. It stays fast and light, packed with rich media features that take your Bluesky experience to a whole new level. BROWSE YOUR WAY • Multi-Tab - Every feed opens in its own tab, with menus like 'Close This', 'Close All But This', and 'Tab History'. The tab bar auto-hides as you scroll and returns when you need it. • Card / List / Media Layouts - Card for focused reading, List for fast scanning, and Media Grid for browsing images and videos. Switch between them with a simple swipe or tap. EVERYTHING YOU NEED • A Full-Featured Bluesky Client - Posting, Chat, Notifications, even a Posting Queue. • Rich Media Features - fullscreen media navigation, Slide Show, Shuffle Slide Show, and Batch Download. • Privacy-First - no ads, no tracking, and no data collection. The app talks only to Bluesky. • Universal App - one app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. • Multiple Accounts - switch between accounts with ease. • iCloud Sync - keep your active tabs aligned across all your devices.

Most tech platforms are controlled by a tiny group of powerful billionaires. You don't OWE them your data. Even posting on Bluesky is a privacy nightmare. Why should our social media posts remain on the internet forever? With Cyd for iPhone, you can: - CREATE A LOCAL, PRIVATE BACKUP OF YOUR DATA, including Bluesky posts, reposts, likes, bookmarks, and chat messages. - CHOOSE WHAT YOU WANT TO DELETE. You can delete it all, or you can be selective, deleting most of it but keeping what went viral. - SCHEDULE AUTOMATIC DELETION, keeping your online data as ephemeral as you want over time. The Cyd developers can't access your accounts or your data. - Cyd runs directly on your device, not on our servers. - Cyd is designed so that we don't have access to your accounts, or to any of your data in those accounts. We don't even record what your username is. - When you sign into a Bluesky account in Cyd, you grant the app running locally on your phone permission to access it, not us, the developers of the app. Cyd is open source.
