Dragonfly vs Irmo

Dragonfly is a desktop and iPad client for Bluesky, built to make the social network feel smoother and more at home on Apple hardware. It is the first dedicated desktop and tablet experience for Bluesky, with a timeline, posting tools, and account controls wrapped in a native-style interface.

S?bastien Gruhier and In?s Gruhier, a father-daughter team behind Async Development and Odubu Design, built Dragonfly in Flutter after years of mobile game and app work. The app focuses on a cleaner reading and writing flow than browsing Bluesky in a web tab.

Dragonfly targets Bluesky users who want a focused Mac or iPad app with push notifications, theme switching, and roadmap features like synced bookmarks, custom feeds, and chat. Windows, Linux, iPhone, and Android versions are listed as coming soon on the site.

Irmo turns selfies and portraits into stylized photos and short videos through hundreds of preset AI effects. Upload a photo, pick a template pack, and the site generates themed outputs across viral filters, hairstyle previews, luxury scenes, and animated clips without manual editing in Photoshop or a timeline editor.

Unlike a single-purpose face-swap app, Irmo groups effects into large themed catalogs such as Viral Picks, Movie Star, Era Switch, and Video Effects. That structure lets casual creators browse novelty trends like Gender Swap or Cake-ify alongside portrait tools like Photoshoot lighting presets and Bring to Life animations in one account.

Social creators and casual editors use Irmo for quick shareable clips, hairstyle try-ons, and character cosplay looks. The web app also exposes Text to Image, Image to Image, Image to Video, and Text to Video modes for users who want custom generations beyond the preset gallery. Pricing details load inside the signed-in experience rather than on the public marketing pages.
