Manfred for Mastodon

...lightweight and opinionated

Free

Manfred does your Mastodon business. It is a simple yet powerful Mastodon client. It is fast, tidy and respectful of your attention. Unlike other platforms, Mastodon does not use an algorithmic feed or engagement tricks; it simply provides your timelines, which you can customise however you like with Manfred. You can compose your home screen with timelines, lists, hashtags and notifications, arranging them as tabs on your phone or side by side on your tablet. TRULY PRIVATE PUSH Push notifications are strictly opt-in and end-to-end encrypted. Our relay server forwards notifications without being able to read them. Not even we know who has mentioned you. MANY ACCOUNTS, ONE APP Switch between accounts on any instance with a single tap and reply as whichever persona suits. FILTERS THAT WORK Hide boosts, replies or bots per column and transform any media-heavy feed into a clean photo gallery with a single tap. CONVERSATIONS THAT MAKE SENSE Threads are shown as a real tree with colour-coded levels. Collapse the branches you have already read. LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP Preview any instance's local timeline anonymously before signing in. SHARING MADE EASY Share text, links, and images from other apps directly into the Manfred composer. PRIVACY Manfred collects no personal data and shows no ads. Your settings stay on your device and the app only ever communicates with the Mastodon server you choose. Note: you need an existing Mastodon account, which is available for free on many instances (see joinmastodon.org).
