Aeronaut for Bluesky
Aeronaut is a Bluesky app for Mac if you want to read your feeds, keep track of mentions, and take part in conversations from your desktop.
by Michael Clarke
What you get
You can keep up with Bluesky without losing your place.
You get a Mac app for reading your Bluesky Following timeline, list feeds, and community feeds you’ve already saved. As new posts arrive in Following, your reading position stays put, so you can finish what you’re reading before catching up. You can search for posts, people, and hashtags, bookmark posts for later, and mute or block accounts you don’t want to hear from.
You can spot potential replies more easily because your mentions sit apart from other activity, with separate unread indicators. With a subscription, you can publish posts, quotes, and replies, send direct messages, use multiple Bluesky accounts, and receive push notifications.
You can read feeds, search, follow people, like posts, and repost without subscribing. Two limits to know: you can’t yet save feeds from within Aeronaut, and your timeline position doesn’t sync across devices.
