Right now, my focus is on making the iOS app as solid and feature-complete as possible. As a solo iOS developer, splitting attention across platforms early would compromise quality on both. Once the iOS version is in a great place, I plan to explore bringing Skyswipe to Android.

Sometimes you come across a video you just need to bookmark. Skyswipe lets you do exactly that, with saved videos only one tap away in your profile tab, along with reposts and likes. Phase 1 beta testing is now live: your feedback helps build what’s next.
A smartphone screen displays a social media profile from the BlueSky app. The profile belongs to a user named “Pats” with the handle @patt.bsky.social. The account has 171 followers, follows 452 users, and has made 89 posts. The bio reads: “dev @skyswipe.bsky.social /swe/cs/math/stats/trading/anime…” followed by a link to patt.bsky.social. The profile picture shows a smiling person in front of a blue background with some video recording overlay icons.

Below the profile information is a grid of six square photos, primarily of cats:
	1.	A close-up of a brown-feathered bird on grass.
	2.	A black and white cat with white paws lying on a soft beige surface.
	3.	The same cat sitting upright, looking directly at the camera.
	4.	The same cat again, close-up and centered.
	5.	Two black and white cats curled up together playfully.
	6.	An orange kitten inside a cardboard box, facing a smaller animal (possibly a bird) perched just outside the box.

The interface includes typical navigation icons at the bottom: Home, Explore, a central “+” for posting, Inbox, and Profile (currently selected).

The big difference with Bluesky is that their store is public. Anyone can make an app and see your publicly available Bluesky data. So if you link your Bluesky profile to Skyswipe, all of your followers (among other data) will automatically transfer over! There is no need to rebuild a following.

Custom feed support coming soon. In the meantime, you can switch to the "following" feed so that you only see videos from accounts you're following.

From what I’ve gathered, app passwords aren’t supposed to work with OAuth. Acc. to bsky team, OAuth is actually an alternative to app passwords, and expected to replace App pw entirely. Graysky doesnt use OAuth, handles your credentials directly so using the legacy app password flow makes sense
Screenshot of a Bluesky blog post titled ‘OAuth for AT Protocol’, dated September 25, 2024. It announces the initial specification of OAuth for AT Protocol, intended to replace the current authentication flow using App Passwords and createSession.”

Looking for a TikTok sounds library/service thing. Wonder how copyright works on this
010
Skyswipe @skyswipe.bsky.social · 24/05/2025
This is 100% doable and it wouldn’t even take very long to implement. Just grab the user’s Bluesky preferences containing their muted words and filter out videos that contain any of the words on the client side. I’ll keep you updated!

These are excellent suggestions that I will be adding to my dev backlog. Let me know if you have any more

There needs to be incentive for everyday people to post videos. It has to be fun and engaging process, and there also needs to be that feeling having your videos be seen. We need the "anyone can go viral" vibes of TikTok for any alternative to it to really take off

so far the only (besides for Popsky) AT protocol iOS app I've seen with a smooth and nice UX, and the only video Bluesky client that doesn't have UX that randomly freaks out at the slightest interaction

Also, users log in with OAuth2 directly through the bluesky website, using their extensive OAuth2 Protocol, so we don't ever even see your credentials. Thanks for the great questions! I am working on a detailed website with details and FAQ right now, so this really helps.

Skyswipe is built entirely on the AT Protocol and uses the Bluesky API. All data, content, actions are passed directly to the Bluesky servers. Right now we don't have our own backend and we don't store any data. I will publish a full privacy policy when we release on the App store.

Decentralization and transparency call for customizable feeds. Black-box algorithms don't make sense, unless that's what the user asked for. Let's not repeat old mistakes.

Skyswipe @skyswipe.bsky.social · 23/05/2025
An AtProto TikTok Alternative deserves user controlled feeds. While Skyswipe only supports 3 feeds right now, it is a high priority feature to add custom user controlled feeds for any feed, not just 3. Black-box algorithms and decentralization doesnt make sense (unless that's what the user wants)

Looks like there might be a higher proportion of Android users on bluesky. Is my intuition correct?

skyswipe.io has a very minimal web app for watching Bsky videos in the TikTok format, if anyone's interested right now. However, be aware there is a bug currently that delays the initial loading (No videos found) and some minor parts like auth need a fix. Coming soon. iOS beta is also open now btw

Thought about this "for you page" problem for a while. Haven't implemented anything yet, but users who are looking for more personalized feed might be disappointed with the current state of ATProto feeds. Classic data/privacy trade-off between transparency/decentralization and custom tailored UX
