Skyscraper 1.6

Now Available on macOS!

• Skyscraper now supports macOS natively! Enjoy a fresh, multi-column, native Mac app.

New icon!

• New app icon from the Iconfactory! Available in 3 flavors, standard (changes color based on your device being in light/dark mode), or always view it in the light or dark styles.

Custom Themes!

• Custom Themes: paint Skyscraper and make it yours, with a live preview as you edit.

Much more!

• Community Themes: browse and install themes other Skyscraper users have made, or submit your own for review.
• Publications: read the standard.site publications you subscribe to right in the app, including articles the publisher never cross-posted to Bluesky.
• Share Post as Image: turn any post into an image, complete with its photos, link card, quoted post and the rest of the author's thread.
• Screenshot OCR: pull the text out of any image entirely on your device, ready to select and copy.
• Account backups now include image and video embeds
• View Labels: see exactly which moderation labels a post carries, who applied them and when.
• Account Data: browse your own repository in plain English or raw AT Proto, including records written by other AT Proto apps.
• Post timestamps can now show the actual clock time instead of "2h", from Timeline settings.
• Long-press a chat to peek at the last few messages without opening it.
• LIVE badges now open the stream, and appear in the timeline as well as on profiles.
• Mute someone's quote posts, alongside the existing repost mute.
• Translate your own draft in the composer before you post it.
• Dutch and French added as new internationalized languages in-app.

Improved

• Chat unread checks use far less data — about 100 MB an hour less while the app sits idle.
• The timeline decodes images off the main thread, so scrolling stays smooth.
• Your reading position now remembers how far into a post you were, not just which post, and survives a relaunch.
• Self-threads draw each post once, and macOS numbers the posts in a thread.
• Feeds show how many people have liked them.
• New Skyscraper artwork on the loading and sign-in screens, and the app icon picker now credits every icon's designer.

Fixed

• Editing a reply works, and an edited reply stays attached to its thread.
• Signing out of one account lands on another instead of the sign-in screen.
• Fixed feeds reordering themselves, and an endless rebuild loop that showed up as scroll stutter.
• A person who liked several of your posts is counted once in notifications, not once per like.
• Reply context shows the quoted post it used to drop.
• GIFs play natively instead of through a hidden web view.
• Long display names no longer squeeze the timestamp off a row.
• Various bug fixes.
