Indigo is a brand new app that combines Bluesky and Mastodon into a single, unified timeline.
It can be tough to keep up with your social circles when they’re not all in one place, but Indigo makes it a breeze.
Indigo has a modern user interface that helps make common interactions faster and less disruptive, doing its best to provide you all the information you need, without getting in your way. Here’s some of the things we focused on:
CROSS POSTING
Indigo lets you post to Bluesky and Mastodon simultaneously so none of your followers misses a thing you post. It’s fast, simple and lets you add alt-text without having to change views.
TIMELINE
Indigo’s timeline combines your Bluesky and Mastodon timeline into a single feed, with subtle indicators for which service a post is coming from. The goal is for you to forget about the technical underpinnings and just enjoy all the people you follow in one place.
Indigo automatically detects when two accounts you follow are posting the same thing across both services and combines them into a single post, so you don’t have to read everything twice.
POST DETAILS
Indigo features an innovative new approach to post detail views that automatically detects threads, making them easier to read all at once. And you can quickly tap the thread ribbon to view all the replies to a given post.
You can also quick reply to posts without changing views too.
NOTIFICATIONS
Indigo’s Notification view shows you all your notifications from both services in one place. Mentions, Replies, and Quotes are highlighted while Favs and Reposts are grouped together to reduce clutter.
CONVERSATIONS
Indigo supports Bluesky’s direct messages and also provides a conversation interface to Mastodon private posts.
PLATFORMS
Indigo runs on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, so you can stay up to date on whatever device suits you best. Your accounts are synced, as is your timeline position, so jumping between devices is seamless. There’s no Apple Watch support, because no one should be reading social media on their watch and there’s no Vision Pro support because they’re stupidly expensive.

We’ve been working on Indigo for quite a while now, and we’re very proud of how it’s turned out. That said, there are a million features we had to leave out of this first release, but we’re very exited to add more features and functionality as quickly as we can.

I have been looking for the everything text social media app for a while. And a lot of the existing options have gotten close, but this gets way closer. If this is the 1.0 version, I’m sold that it will do everything I want in the next few versions! Immediately subscribed.
Perfect For Me

As someone that uses both Mastodon and Bluesky pretty heavily, this is pretty much a dream come true application. To be this feature complete out the gate is utterly astounding. It’s still got some minor quirks but the devs seem to be hard at work ironing those out already.
Developer Response
So glad you’re enjoying Indigo! And yes, we’re working to fix bugs and get new features out as quickly as we can. Thanks for noticing!
It works and it’s pretty

It’s great to see and interact with my Bsky and Mastodon feeds in the same place, it’s easy to use, and clearly a lot of thought went into the design. Enjoying it after a few days of use.
My new go-to

Indigo is so lovely. A beautifully-designed app with thoughtful touches all over. It didn’t take much to convince me that it would become my preferred client, even though I’m only a Mastodon user. It’s so nice it’s tempting me to create another Bluesky account.
