I made a tool for your toots. It’s called Tusks.

No timeline. Just your posts. Made for _one_ thing: threads! Write. Update. Organize.

I’ve been dogfooding it for a few weeks. In this time, posting on here has felt like publishing to my blog. More info: thirdculture.app/tusks.

(Boosts to reach all ends of the Fediverse will be greatly appreciated 💜)

Tusks running on a Mac, iPhone and iPad

It’s available on iOS and macOS (thanks to SwiftUI, but boy do I have a lot to write about the experience).

No ads. No subscription. For a limited time, there’s a lifetime deal to upgrade to Tusks Pro — enabling you to publish — for $4.99.

Special mention to @konstantin @dave and all the contributors of the TootSDK for making the process of integrating with the Mastodon APIs a total breeze 😎 🙏🏽 github.com/tootsdk/tootsdk

@bardi that’s great, but I cannot find a link to the app store anywhere. :(

bardi

@njyo maybe I should have included in the OG post, but preferred people to check out the site and go through from there. There’s a [Download] link in the header (which I’ll make sticky now). Thanks for raising this. Here you go apps.apple.com/gb/app/tusks-ma

Wolfgang Maehr

@bardi Thabks. Be for it said “Boost!” and didn’t lead anywhere. :(

bardi

@njyo hmm, yeah but it should have taken you back to the Mastodon post. I replaced it now because downloads are more important than boosts at this point :)

Wolfgang Maehr

@bardi ah yes, sorry, you’re right, it took me to Mastodon. Still confusing as that post pointed to the website.

Anyway, the download button worked now! 🙂

@bardi this is such a cool idea, finding an old thread is always a bit of a chore!
I’ve noticed some minor UI issues, what’s the best way to report them?

bardi

@Palleas thank you 🙏🏽

On Day 0, your sentiment comes through — no exaggeration — as a relief.

Whatever is most convenient for you. DM me here, or email me bardi.golriz[at]gmail.com. I’ll prioritise them (and any other user reported issues in general).

Martin Dufort

@bardi Congrats. That looks really nice. 👍

multigreg

@bardi Very nice. The UI is slick and splitting the text to fit post length 👌

Aral Balkan

@bardi Lovely! Love the focus and clean design and just bought myself a copy.

Just being able to see the posts I’ve written and nothing else by itself is a feature I’ve wanted for a long time.

Best of luck with it :) 💕

@bardi Thanks for making this app! I have been looking for something like this for so long. There’s an important feature missing tho, I’m not able to set post language. ❤️ I also purchased your lifetime subscription to support the app. 🙂

@bardi I love the idea — will give it a try!

@bardi this is really cool! Just a heads up that on my iPhone 15, the keyboard hides the input box for providing a server address on the first screen, and autocorrect interferes with the input. This meant it took me a few attempts to type in that URL! Switching to landscape mode didn't fix the problem.

@bardi why would i use this instead of my fedi server with a 100k limit

@bardi Hello! I would love to try your app, but it appears that it isn’t optimized for iPhone SE.

This is the first screen I receive. I can see I have to choose my server, but the confirm button is not showed and I can’t scroll down.

Can you look at this issue, Bardi?

First screen of Tusks app, with greetings message and server connection form. There is no confirmation button.

@marcoandrei thanks so much! Whoops. I’m going to push out an update very soon to fix this. This is unacceptable, I’m sorry. In the meantime, you can reduce your phone’s display text size to work around it. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Marco Andrei K. 🧉

@bardi Olá, Bardi! Obrigado pela resposta. Thanks for your reply. It is a pleasure to help and I'm willing to use Tusks frequently.

Unfortunately, even reducing to the smaller size, I barely see the button but I could login. (Look at the photos attached.)

Anyway, it appears the app behaves well with greater fonts, except the "Get Pro" badge which touches the border of the header.

By the way, if you need a beta tester, please let me know. It would be a pleasure to help.

@bardi In addition, I'd like to translate Tusks to Portuguese if I may. I'd like to start to work with this subject and learn how to do it in iOS/macOS apps (as a side project for now, but who knows?). 🙂

Simeon Nedkov

@bardi Perfect! I’ve been looking for a way to organise my threads for a while now. Instabuy!

Kevin Conner

@bardi Hey you resurrected Birdhouse! I loved that app and this concept in general.

Edit: No, I'm wrong, I was just looking for something specific that I missed. This is a different emphasis and something I haven't seen before. Anyway—small apps for narrow purposes are one of the best things about the phone app medium so great work creating a new one!

Tero Ykspetäjä

@bardi That looks like a nice idea for an app!

Are you planning on adding support for setting the language of the post in the near future? What about multiple accounts?

Tero Ykspetäjä

@bardi Also, showing a character count would help when creating threads.
