This iPhone App Posts to Mastodon, Threads, and Bluesky at Once
Short summary:
Using many social media apps is harder since Twitter's decline. A new iPhone app called Croissant makes it easier. It lets users post on Bluesky, Mastodon, and Threads at the same time.
The rise of multiple social media platforms like Bluesky, Mastodon, and Threads following Twitter's decline has made crossposting a tedious task for many users. Croissant, a new iPhone app developed by Aaron Vegh and Ben McCarthy, simplifies this process by enabling users to post simultaneously across all three platforms. The app allows users to draft posts, add images, include alt text, and create threaded posts, significantly reducing the time and effort required to maintain multiple accounts.
Croissant is not a social media browsing tool but focuses solely on streamlining the posting process. Users can’t view or interact with posts from others through the app, meaning they’ll still need to open individual platforms for engagement. The app is particularly targeted at creators and small business owners who manage social media professionally but not as a full-time job. Pricing starts at $2.99 per month, with options for annual or one-time payments.
For those looking to further reduce platform fragmentation, integrating Threads with the Fediverse or linking Mastodon and Bluesky accounts may also help streamline social media management. However, Croissant offers a dedicated solution for users frustrated by the inefficiencies of manual crossposting in today's fragmented social media landscape.
