We forgot to mention it when we added it, but if you're on iOS 27 you can now use Apple Intelligence to generate image descriptions And while we still encourage you to write your own descriptions, we know what a big difference alt-text makes for low vision users so we wanted to make it effortless
A screenshot of Indigo’s compose view showing an image of a pastry with no description The same screenshot after the alt-text was generated. It reads: A round pastry with a dark filling, topped with red sauce and a black berry, sits on a dark plate. The pastry has a textured, ridged surface. A portion of the filling is exposed. The plate rests on a wooden surface.

Indigo 1.3.2 is available now! It's got two great new features and a bunch of improvements and bug fixes Magic Hashtags let you pair hashtags across services, just like Magic Mentions Compact Link Previews are… smaller than the big link previews, I think that's self explanatory.

This is truly amazing, you can even merge a Bluesky feed with a Mastodon list

Someone has made a Mac/iPhone/iPad app that can log into Bluesky and the Fediverse in one app, and it combines accounts/posts from people who post to both. I'm in love. After trying it out for 15 minutes, I've gotta say, @anilineapps.bsky.social Indigo has got the juice.

I don't feel like I use Bluesky and Mastodon anymore, I just use Blastodon. Moosky. Mastosky. Blueskdon. Yeah, good thing they called it Indigo.

Indigo 1.3 is available now! We've got a bunch of great new features I'll get to in a sec, but first up is a new pricing option. Indigo was great value if you used both Bluesky and Mastodon, but a little pricy if you just used one. Now there's a $19.99 plan for single-network use 😀

Good news: the update is out, get those new bits and enjoy 'em Bad news: App Review never approved a new subscription tier (not rejected, it's just been "In Review" for about a month) so we're going to hold off on our big marketing push until we get that sorted

While I was travelling last week, @vegh.ca has been cooking up some very exciting stuff 👀 As I said before, we have a few bigger features and improvements that I think will work best if we launch them together, which means a bit more of a wait, but I think it'll be worth it

Just a heads up: we're moving our Feedback board to Nolt. The old system was just breaking constantly despite our best efforts. It seems like everything has been migrated correctly, let us know if you have any issues.

Couldn't ask for a kinder review 😌
A Better Bluesky App with
Bonus Mastodon!
Indigo is an early app, still in active development with features and improvements being added each update, but it has already replaced the Bluesky app as my daily social media reader. Reliably remembering my place in the timeline is huge, and it does it across devices while keeping scrolling smooth. Reply threading is both understandable and stylish. I'd have subscribed for the better Bluesky experience alone. Getting a combined bsky and Mastodon timeline with smart, easy handling of crossposts makes Indigo by far my favorite social media reader since
Tweetbot back in the before times.

Indigo 1.2.2 is out now! In the build we've got: - a whole bunch of menu bar / key commands for iPad and Mac - an inline video progress bar - the ability to detach unwanted Bluesky quotes - a nice little reminder to leave a review (hint hint) - like a hundred minor improvements

I want to separate the Autoplay Media preference to: - Autoplay Video - Autoplay GIFs Whether GIFs are set to autoplay or not, they will loop until you tap them to stop. Is there anyone who thinks looping should be its own pref? (Autoplaying a GIF once that does not loop seems awkward)

it's not perfect but playing around with Indigo, an iOS/Mac app that provides a unified timeline between Mastodon and Bluesky (and goes so far as to link cross-platform posts and add ways to interact across networks if you like) feels like a glimpse at a better future

Oh sweet, Indigo has Bluesky lists now (it uhhh has for a few weeks but I hadn't looked at the sidebar I guess). That was basically the only thing that I ever opened the official Bluesky app for, and now I don't have to. It's really nice:

We've got even more exciting news though! Over the weekend we released Indigo 1.2 and just this morning, 1.2.1 (the app review gods have been kind) There are a bunch of improvements but two big ones: - Timeline scroll performance is way, way, way better - Post Replies have smarter threading

Hey! A little bit of news: Soapbox Software is no more, we're now Aniline Applications There was a pre-existing Soapbox company that we weren't originally aware of who understandably asked us to change it. But now we have a cool new ambigram logo so it's not all bad 😄

One of my favourite features of Indigo is the whimsy that @benricem.bsky.social added to the placeholders in the composer. I'd love to find more places to shine like that in the app!

Indigo 1.1.2 is out now! You may have noticed some issues with scroll position sync since the last update and for that, we do sincerely apologies. The good news is, not only should that be fixed now, but we've given you even more control over scroll position with this handy little menu

A few people have requested that the Crosspost banner be less prominent. I want to make sure it's easily tappable to make sure you can see both posts without issue. Thoughts?
