Ivory

About

Ivory is the Mastodon client from Tapbots, built on two decades of craft that made Tweetbot the benchmark for third-party Twitter apps. It brings custom timelines, powerful filters with regex support, post statistics, and up to six side-by-side columns on the Mac, all wrapped in the studio's signature animation and iconography. Read Later integrations cover Instapaper, Pocket, Pinboard, Readwise and Apple's Reading List.

The Mac version launched in May 2023 alongside the iPhone and iPad apps, and the client now sits at version 2.5 with no tracking of any kind. Pricing is a subscription: $1.99 per month or $14.99 per year per platform, or $24.99 per year for the universal tier covering Mac, iPhone and iPad. On the fediverse, nothing else comes close for polish.

  Pick Ice Cubes if you would rather not subscribe: it is free and open source, with only optional tips or a $0.99 monthly supporter plan, but it needs macOS 15.5 or later.
