Skyscraper now speaks Mastodon, brings all your accounts together in one Unified timeline, adds a Reader for RSS and Standard.site, and gives the Mac app a full makeover.

NEW

  • Mastodon (beta): sign in alongside Bluesky and get your home timeline, notifications, DMs, Explore, lists, bookmarks, favorites, polls, content warnings, custom emoji, scheduled posts and push notifications.
  • Unified timeline: read every account's following feed in one combined timeline, with merged Notifications. A badge on each post shows which account it came from, and replies, likes and boosts go out as that account.
  • Cross-Post: write once and post to several accounts at the same time, from the app or the share sheet.
  • Reader: a new tab for RSS, Standard.site publications, Micro.blog and YouTube channels. Sync with Feedbin, FreshRSS, Inkwell or NewsBlur, organize with tags, filter to Unread Only, and pull up to go to the next story. Your first RSS feed is free.
  • Save links to Pinboard and Instapaper, with title, description and tag suggestions from Apple Intelligence.
  • Likes and Favorites: search them, and sort by newest or oldest.
  • Save videos to Photos.
  • Share a user Profile in a profile's ⋯ menu.
  • Thread authors can hide a reply or detach a quote of their post.
  • The composer saves drafts on your device, and your post comes back after a crash. Undo, drag and drop, camera video, and posting videos in the background are all supported.
  • Settings to auto-play GIFs and video with Reduce Motion on, or in Low Data and Low Power Mode.
  • Timeline widgets: choose how many posts the medium and large sizes show.
  • New Blocked Accounts and Muted Accounts pages.
  • Hide the New Posts banner, and clear the app badge whenever you like.

MAC

  • Open posts and profiles in their own windows, with one window per composer.
  • Right-click menus on posts, links, mentions, hashtags, images and chat bubbles.
  • New menu bar commands, a Keyboard Shortcuts window, and Settings as Mac-style preference panes.
  • Copy Image, Save Image, Print articles, the Services menu, Open With, and drag-and-drop in and out.
  • Spotlight, App Intents, Controls, and a Dock badge with live counts.
  • Native sidebar with unread badges, plus a System accent color option.

IMPROVED

  • Skyscraper is translated into 30 languages.
  • Better VoiceOver, Voice Control and Reduce Motion support across posts, chat and profiles, and image alt text is read aloud.
  • Faster launch, less background activity, and an app that's about 60 MB smaller.
  • iPad: Settings, your avatar and Compose sit in the sidebar.
  • Profiles, hashtags, feed previews and Saved Posts lay out posts like the timeline.
  • Mute words now apply to notifications too.
  • Block and Delete ask before acting, and an Undo banner follows common actions.
  • Your reading position is restored more accurately when coming back after a few days.
  • iCloud syncs more settings, and restores them after a reinstall.
  • Vision Pro: readable labels, gaze highlights, and better sign-in sheets.
  • Custom themes reach more screens, including Settings text and post text.

FIXED

  • Videos no longer go black when you return to the app.
  • The timeline tells you when Bluesky is down instead of failing quietly.
  • A deleted post says it was deleted and leaves your timeline.
  • Replies keep their context when the parent post appears lower down.
  • Fixed a handful of rare crashes.
  • Many small bug fixes, layout improvements, and much more.
