Arctic

Arctic is a Lemmy client for iOS built in pure Swift. It currently supports iOS 15+ and Lemmy v0.17+

This app is still in very early development stages, and public alpha releases have not been opened yet. The first public TestFlight build will be available in the coming weeks

Arctic aims to be a fully featured Lemmy client focusing on content presentation, native UI, and intuitive controls. With Lemmy being a link aggregator, Arctic features rich link previews, and inline media placing the content right in your feed, rather than at the end of a link.

Features

• A powerful media viewer supporting static images, gif, webp, video, and audio support coming soon
• Matches Lemmy web search 1:1, meaning you can search users, comments, communities, and even federate with new communities using the full community address eg: [email protected] or https://lemmy.ml/c/meta
• Lemmy links are also parsed and presented in app rather than opening in the browser, if the link is not federated with your instance, you have the option to federate it. This is a work in progress, but when opening a link to community that is not federated with your instance, you can also import the post history to your instance so you can view the full community, not just what’s been posted since federating.
• Arctic also supports multiple accounts that can easily be switched between at any time.
• Community browser, for browsing all communities federated with your instance
• Profile viewer for viewing any users profile and traversing their content
• Inbox for managing replies, mentions, and private messages
• Report tools for notifying mods of content, or users
• For a complete list of features, check back later, or feel free to reach out and ask me.

Arctic is in need of an icon, and I am not an artist. Any designers interested in helping feel free to contact me.
