Hey all,

I’m building Maia, a native iOS client that lets you use multiple social networks in one app — currently Bluesky, Mastodon, Lemmy, Tumblr (timeline only), and LinkedIn (posting only).

The key difference: Privacy first approach for all current and future services. The app talks directly to each platform’s API, so your tokens/data never pass through me. Completely native to iOS and follows apple UX/UI guidelines.

What works right now:

Cross-posting to multiple networks in one go (handles media limits + formatting)

Unified timeline (Bluesky + Mastodon + Lemmy + Tumblr)

Native notifications pulled directly from your instances for Bluesky and Lemmy

Apple Watch app (Unified, Mastodon and Bluesky) + home screen widgets (Unified, Mastodon and Bluesky)

Push notifications for Bluesky and Mastodon (NOTE: If you enable push notification, only your Bluesky/Mastodon handle is stored on the server to deliver push notifications)

Advanced filtering across networks

Testers: Limiting to ~15 people so I can respond quickly and fix issues as they come in.

If you actively use any of these networks and are okay with a slightly rough beta, give Maia a spin. I want to work with the community to make it the best experience for Mastodon/Bluesky/Lemmy (more to come later).

Happy to answer any technical questions too. You can join the Maia community to post questions and follow the development. https://lemmy.world/c/Maia

    Two questions.

    Is it open or closed source?

    Have you or do you plan to use AI in any aspect of this program. This includes using AI to code as well as implementing AI features to the client.

    Edit:

    Oh never mind. I refuse to use a subscription based app for the Fediverse. Best of luck to your endeavors.

    Why is there a subscription if there aren’t any services beyond the app, other than updates? That isn’t a fair transaction.

    Sounds amazing. The problem with these combined clients is always usability. I hope you nail it!

    EDIT: oh subscription, nevermind.
