The Mastodon social media platform<\/a> has exponentially risen in reputation over the previous few months, following Elon Musk\u2019s botched acquisition of Twitter. A number of new third-party Mastodon apps have popped up since then, and the most recent is from an organization you would possibly acknowledge.<\/p>\n

Ivory for Mastodon<\/a> was launched as we speak for iPhone and iPad, following a public beta testing interval. It\u2019s a brand new third-party for Mastodon, serving as an alternative choice to the official Mastodon app for iOS<\/a>. The app has a number of accounts, help for options like polls and content material warnings, highly effective mute options, a number of themes, and timeline synchronization throughout a number of units.<\/p>\n

Ivory is developed by Tapbots, the identical small firm that created the favored Tweetbot consumer for Twitter. Ivory makes use of a lot of the identical design components and codebase as Tweetbot, so if you happen to ever used that app, you\u2019ll really feel proper at house with Ivory. Tweetbot was discontinued earlier this month after Twitter cut off API access for many third-party apps<\/a>, together with Twitterific, Fenix for Andrid, and Tweetbot. Ivory was already in public testing at that time, however Tapbot\u2019s Paul Haddad stated development went \u201cinto hyper mode\u201d<\/a> after the shutdown.<\/p>\n

You possibly can learn timelines and check out some fundamental options totally free, however Ivory is a paid software \u2014 builders must eat, too. A yearly subscription prices $14.99\/yr, with a month-to-month choice accessible for $1.99\/mo. A Mac model can be under development<\/a>, which can doubtless be a unique subscription, however particulars there haven’t been (publicly) finalized.<\/p>\n

Ivory is one in all a number of Mastodon apps to reach for the reason that preliminary surge in reputation, alongside Megalodon on Android<\/a> (a fork of the official app), Ice Cubes<\/a> for Mac, iPhone, and iPad, and others. The sudden shutdown of essential APIs is inflicting builders like Tapbots to pay much more consideration to competing platforms like Mastodon, which is nice information for anyone using the decentralized social media platform<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
