Gluon is an opinionated, yet customisable, app built specifically for Micro.blog.

With Gluon, you can do the following:

  • View your timeline, mentions and bookmarks.
  • Reply and post to Micro.blog and also set bookmarks.
  • Add multiple accounts to the app with quick switching between them.
  • Browse the discovery feed including all the “emoji” tagged discover sections.
  • Search users and posts on Micro.blog.
  • View user profiles and follow, or, unfollow.
  • Customise the app from accent colours, timeline fonts, icons and much more.
  • Mute filtering and ability to block users from showing on the Gluon timeline.
  • Small app download size (under ~10MB).
  • And so much more, like custom push notifications, profile emoji's and accent colours to show the world.

I need something else, and you also built the official Micro.blog app... erm...?

I suggest you use the official Micro.blog app, which I've built and is open sourced. You can get the official iOS app here, or the official Android app here. They're great!

I just released 2024.1 on the iOS App Store. Technically Gluon is on hold, details on my blog here and also the real reason that's driving this is here (people that are not worth it). Want Android or a maintained alternative app? See above. Want to get the TestFlight version? Link to it here.
