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

UPDATE: I will be shipping an update to allow login without subscription. While I really appreciate the feedback about subscription, I do have server costs for push notifications, developer fee on apple and bills to pay.

I do hope people see the value with the app and there will be more features, networks added in the coming days.
