Tapestry weaves your favorite blogs, social media, and more into a unified and chronological timeline. ⁕ The Web Your Way Tapestry combines posts from your favorite social media services like Bluesky, Mastodon, Tumblr along with others like RSS feeds, podcasts, YouTube channels, and more. All of your content is presented in chronological order, with no algorithm deciding what you should or shouldn't see. ⁕ A Bird's Eye View Tapestry makes it easier than ever to browse content from dozens or even hundreds of sources. Create custom timelines, seamlessly sync your reading position across devices, and keep track of feeds in an easy-to-read, color-coded stream of content. ⁕ Avoid Spoilers. Everywhere. Quickly create powerful rules that control what you do and don't see across all your feeds. Avoid potential spoilers and stay clear of unwanted topics by creating rules that muffle and mute items in everything you follow. ⁕ Powerful Searching Search for topics and terms across all feeds simultaneously. Tapestry makes it easy to find that blog post, YouTube video, or podcast you're looking for - and easy to mark it for later. ⁕ Private By Design Your privacy is a priority. Tapestry works with content stored on your device, so searching and viewing content is completely private. We never sell or share your data with third parties. ⁕ Custom Connectors Expand Tapestry’s potential with third-party connectors. Import custom connectors from trusted developers, or even write your own to add your favorite bit of data to the timeline. If there's an open data feed available, a connector can weave it into Tapestry. Additional Features: • Universal app for iOS, iPadOS and macOS • Quickly open posts in your favorite third party apps to take action • Syncs your reading position via iCloud across devices • Fully accessible using VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, and more • Customize Tapestry's app icon, layout, and fonts • Create custom timelines of your favorite feeds • Mark your favorite items to read later • Light and dark mode support -------- Tapestry uses auto-renewing subscriptions.

Replaces all other social media apps
Jul 30

I cannot state just how much I LOVE this app. It has become the only app I use for “news”. I’m able to subscribe to my RSS feeds, follow users on bluesky and follow individual websites. Everything is in chronological order and ZERO algorithms. The best part for me though is the fact that I can filter and mute anything that is either uninteresting or stress inducing. For example, I’m subscribed to my local news website and I can mute anything and everything related to politics and still be informed of things going on that are still important. I get to choose what I read with Tapestry and that is huge for me. I did the paid version on day one and it has been worth every cent! No joke, when I see that there is an update to the app, I legit get excited because this app is SO awesome!

Why require a lifetime subscription just for one custom timeline?

I love this app and everything it does. The main reason I use it is in order to maintain a single custom timeline. Just one. However, I’m not able to edit or reconfigure this timeline unless my subscription to Tapestry Pro is still active. Why should I have to pay $1.99 every time I want to change this one timeline? I would rather just pay a single fee and be done with it. The fact that using a single custom timeline requires a permanent subscription is a huge black stain on an otherwise perfect app. If Tapestry ever offers the option to pay once and get one or two custom timelines for life, then I’ll pay for that upfront and continue using Tapestry. Until then, however, I’ll continue looking for alternatives.

Expertly weaves together all my content sources

Tapestry is one of those apps that make one wonder why one waited so long to use them. It might be a little intimidating, setting it up and moving everything over, but stick with it. It’s so flexible, and so much attention has been paid to every detail; in very little time, you’ll make it yours and wonder how you got on without it. It’s also kind of amazing to start using an app when it’s still pretty new: every update delivers the delight of unwrapping a lovely gift. The team developing Tapestry welcome feedback and are wonderfully responsive across avenues of communication. I find Tapestry a real joy; I look forward to using it every day, and contributing to its evolution.

From the creators of one of the best Twitter apps ever, (RIP Twitterific) the Iconfactory have outdone themselves by making the best feed reader/social networking client currently available. The fact that it’s the only currently available BlueSky client that doesn’t require a subscription to save your place on the timeline already makes it better than 90% of the clients out there. A great looking 1.0 app that has plenty of potential to grow into a replacement for all your social media and RSS reader apps in the future. Fully featured for free with some great enhancements for a small monthly subscription or you can make a lifetime purchase make this a no brainer. Try it, I bet you’ll like it.
