Dragonfly
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.
