iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Ah, I’m now working on an iOS version of Aeronaut—one of the most frequent requests I received. Once that’s out I’d hope to go back to more regular releases, with new features being added to both versions in parallel.

Hey Aaron. It shouldn’t be, are you experiencing an issue?

101

Aeronaut @aeronautapp.com · 09/09/2026

Yes, working on that now! No fixed release date, but hopefully it will be available by the end of the year.

120

Aeronaut @aeronautapp.com · 15/06/2026

Apparently so! www.craft.do/maccatalyst-gu…

Aeronaut @aeronautapp.com · 14/06/2026

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ve added it to my backlog, but unfortunately macOS doesn’t have built-in support for apps allowing theme color customization like iOS does, so it’s not trivial to add.

110

Aeronaut @aeronautapp.com · 10/06/2026

If you still can’t get it working, email support@aeronautapp.com and I can try giving you an offer code link. Not sure whether that would have the same issue, but it’s worth a try!

020

Aeronaut @aeronautapp.com · 10/06/2026

This is a new one to me, but I found a couple of threads about it with fixes that seem to work for some but not others: apple.stackexchange.com/a/486233 www.reddit.com/r/mac/comments… 1/2

Next time it happens would you be able to open Activity Monitor, switch to the CPU tab, select Aeronaut, and then choose Sample Process from the options menu? If you then email the text it produces to support@aeronautapp.com I can hopefully get to the bottom of what’s causing it to happen. 2/2

110

Aeronaut @aeronautapp.com · 31/05/2026

Thanks for the detailed report! This isn’t something I’ve been able to reproduce myself or had other reports of, which makes it tricky to track down. 1/2

Aeronaut @aeronautapp.com · 31/05/2026

Aeronaut 1.16 is now available and adds support for curation lists. You can browse lists belonging to other people and save them to your feeds, and you can create, edit, and delete lists of your own. Feedback welcome!

2160

Aeronaut @aeronautapp.com · 24/05/2026

Good idea—added to my list!

010

Aeronaut @aeronautapp.com · 23/04/2026

This release also lowers the minimum window size, so Aeronaut no longer demands most of your vertical screen real estate on the smallest Macs.

1110

Aeronaut @aeronautapp.com · 23/04/2026

Aeronaut 1.14 is now available. This release makes use of the higher image upload limit announced yesterday by Bluesky. Your images are now less likely to be compressed to potato quality, so updating is recommended! 1/2

Aeronaut @aeronautapp.com · 16/04/2026

List management isn’t built into the app yet—you can view list feeds in the Home tab, but creating lists and managing their membership can’t yet be done within the app. It’s on my todo list!

020

Aeronaut @aeronautapp.com · 15/04/2026

Got it, thanks! That’s quite close to the top of my todo list, so I plan to get to it as soon as I’m able.

000

Aeronaut @aeronautapp.com · 15/04/2026

Great idea, I’ll add it to my todo list!

020

Aeronaut @aeronautapp.com · 15/04/2026

But you’d instead like the new posts to be inserted above your scroll position, and the feed then to animate scrolling you back to the top? (Sorry if I’m misunderstanding at all, I don’t think I’ve ever used this feature in an app myself!) 2/2

100

Aeronaut @aeronautapp.com · 15/04/2026

I’ve had a previous request for that, so it’s already on my list. The way I understood the previous request though was that when you’re already at the top, new posts would push down the existing posts rather than being inserted above your scroll position. 1/2

100

Aeronaut @aeronautapp.com · 14/04/2026

Glad you’re enjoying it! I haven’t gotten around to setting anything like that up yet, no. But if you have any feature requests, feel free to shoot them over in the mentions or to support@aeronautapp.com. Feedback helps me prioritize so it’s always welcome!

100

Aeronaut @aeronautapp.com · 08/04/2026

Well that’s how it’s supposed to work: the clickable area is the entire line height, not the height of individual characters. But there are sometimes dead zones—which shouldn’t exist—at very specific points between characters.

000

Aeronaut @aeronautapp.com · 08/04/2026

I appreciate the testing! Definitely seems like the same bug—it happens to me too with a Magic Trackpad. Unfortunately it seems to be an Apple framework bug, so while I can report it to Apple, the chances of being able to work around it on my end are honestly pretty slim.

100

Aeronaut @aeronautapp.com · 07/04/2026

Thanks for the report! Does this happen consistently, or only occasionally? I’m aware of a bug where it takes multiple click attempts to open links—that bug only occurs sporadically though.

200

Aeronaut @aeronautapp.com · 01/04/2026

Thanks for the info, will dig into it.

000

Aeronaut @aeronautapp.com · 30/03/2026

That is also on my list!

010

Aeronaut @aeronautapp.com · 30/03/2026

Hi! It is something I plan to add, but I don’t have any timeline just yet. I do take into account how often things are requested when ordering my todo list, so thanks for asking!

010

Aeronaut @aeronautapp.com · 30/03/2026

Thanks for the feedback, I’ll have to add another performance review to my list. Is your feed particularly video heavy? That is one area I haven’t got around to optimizing yet.

100

Aeronaut @aeronautapp.com · 30/03/2026

Adding an option to turn off the post count indicator is already on my list. The lack of autofocus is very strange, it works for me on both my Macs (macOS 15 and 26) and I’ve had no other reports of it. May I ask what specific version of macOS 26 you’re on? 2/2

110

Aeronaut @aeronautapp.com · 30/03/2026

Thanks for the detailed feedback! Your own replies not showing as replies is a weird API timing issue, but on my list to workaround. My guess is that the missing video is the same thing, but I’ll investigate. I’ll add mouse wheel refresh and clicking in empty space to focus to my list. 1/2

110

Aeronaut @aeronautapp.com · 24/03/2026

That’s a nice idea! You’d open a text field from the main menu or a keyboard shortcut, paste in a URL, and it would go to the post or profile it belongs to. I’ll add it to my list!

120

Aeronaut @aeronautapp.com · 24/03/2026

Syncing it between Aeronaut on different devices is definitely planned. If you meant syncing it with other third-party clients though, that’s something that would be tricky to support without Bluesky themselves adding it.

110

Aeronaut @aeronautapp.com · 18/03/2026

Good suggestion—I’ll try to get that into the next release. And yes, ironically, setting up somewhere to manage my roadmap is on the roadmap.

010

Aeronaut @aeronautapp.com · 17/03/2026

I had thought about having a search field, but adding a keyboard shortcut to open the feed switcher itself is a great idea! I’ll definitely consider that when I come to redesigning it—thanks!

110

Aeronaut @aeronautapp.com · 17/03/2026

I also can’t see the scrolling issue on my Mac that’s running macOS 15. Any idea what I need to do to make it happen?

110

Aeronaut @aeronautapp.com · 17/03/2026

So the autocapitalization setting seems to work for me. With it enabled the post composer tries to correct “hello” to “Hello”, with it off it doesn’t. Am I looking at the right setting? System Settings → Keyboard → Input Sources → Edit… → All Input Sources → Capitalize words automatically. 1/2

100

Aeronaut @aeronautapp.com · 16/03/2026

Finally, I haven’t been able to reproduce the list items being cut off. Looks like you’re using macOS 14 or 15? Are you seeing this on all post lists or just some? 4/4

111

Aeronaut @aeronautapp.com · 16/03/2026

The period to refresh and go to top is only currently supported in feed views, but there’s no reason Activity can’t support it too—I’ll add it to my list. I didn’t even know that macOS had an autocapitalization setting, but now that I do I will look into why it’s not being obeyed. 3/4

110

Aeronaut @aeronautapp.com · 16/03/2026

As for the feed selection, I’d like to add the option but I’d need to come up with something that feels like it belongs in a Mac app and can accommodate lots of feeds (some people have dozens, even hundreds). It’s on my list to look into though. 2/4

210

Aeronaut @aeronautapp.com · 16/03/2026

Thanks for the feedback! 1. I expect to add something like this eventually—purely a question of finding the time 2. Great idea—I’ll add it to my list 3. It’s on my list, probably as an option rather than default 1/4

110

Aeronaut @aeronautapp.com · 15/03/2026

Creating separate application models rather than continuing to fight with the lexicon models was the best decision I ever made!

050

Aeronaut @aeronautapp.com · 15/03/2026

I also have a separate set of application models that are way more ergonomic versions of the lexicon models (e.g. separate media and record properties on a post rather than the nested embed property). My view layer only uses the application models and my service layer mediates between the two.

130

Aeronaut @aeronautapp.com · 15/03/2026

At first an open source package programmatically generated from the TypeScript definitions. When that got abandoned I switched to hand-coded. They’re supposed to be verbatim representations of the lexicon models so I could write something to generate them, but I haven’t bothered so far.

120

Aeronaut @aeronautapp.com · 07/03/2026

Thanks for reporting! If this happens again could you email me some logs so I can see if I can work out what’s going on? Hold option/alt whilst pressing Help in the menu bar and then select Export Diagnostics.

100

Aeronaut @aeronautapp.com · 06/03/2026

Also, you can’t use the Unicode form to type mentions or to search accounts by handle—I think both of these can only really be fixed by Bluesky themselves at the API level. Let me know if you spot anything I’ve missed! 2/2

130

Aeronaut @aeronautapp.com · 06/03/2026

Managed to get this into the update that just hit the App Store! A couple of limitations though. You still need to use the punycode version to add accounts, and Unicode handles are not detected in profile text—will try to fix both of these. 1/2

120

Aeronaut @aeronautapp.com · 06/03/2026

• Special characters (incl. emoji) are now displayed in handles that include them 2/2

071

Aeronaut @aeronautapp.com · 06/03/2026

Aeronaut 1.8 is now available with a fix for viewing full-size images—apologies for any inconvenience! Also in this version: • The Activity and Mentions tabs now have a button to mark all as read • List feeds can now remember your place and restore it when you switch back 1/2

2223

Aeronaut @aeronautapp.com · 06/03/2026

Unfortunately changes to Bluesky’s image CDN have broken full-size image previews. The good news is that I’ve already submitted an update with a fix to the App Store and requested an expedited review. Depending on whether that request is accepted, it should be available in a few hours to a day.

1150

Aeronaut @aeronautapp.com · 06/03/2026

Thanks, I’m seeing it too now. It is related to Bluesky’s CDN changes and will require a code fix, unfortunately. I have the fix ready, just depends how long it takes Apple to review the update. Appreciate you reporting it!

010

Aeronaut @aeronautapp.com · 06/03/2026

Bluesky are in the process of switching over the image format of their CDN, so I suspect it’s related to that. Are you seeing this consistently? If you could you point me to a post that it’s happening with? Thanks!
