Download Arctic on the AppStore!

I am thrilled to announce that Arctic is now available on the AppStore! Looking back, it's amazing to see how much progress Arctic has made in the last six months. Initially, I began working on Arctic as a personal project to fill the void after leaving Reddit during the API fiasco. I had no intention of releasing it publicly. Now, I have a fully-featured Lemmy client, a fantastic group of beta testers on TestFlight, and an official release on the AppStore.

However, the journey isn't over yet. I have many exciting plans for Arctic, and this is just a significant milestone. Going forward, I plan to release more targeted updates on TestFlight and create a public roadmap for AppStore releases.

I would like to thank everyone who was involved with Arctic's TestFlight for all the valuable feedback and suggestions that have helped shape Arctic!

That sounds great!

I often use my iPad with stage manager, and a lot of the lemmy apps have issues with that. So far, this app hasn’t shown any issues I’ve noticed, so I’m really happy with that.

This feels like the most native app I’ve tried so far. It’s great!

Yeah, I made it a point to add support for split view and slide-over in the initial iPad support, by extension I believe that allows using stage manager. I am planning to add support for a context aware sidebar so it shows a sidebar relevant to the tab you are viewing. Also I want to support multiple windows so you can use multiple accounts side by side. I have a lot of other ideas I’d like to implement as well.

Unfortunately I don’t have an iPad that supports new iOS firmwares, so testing is tedious. Nonetheless, I’ll be working on this soon.

All that sounds great! I’m excited to see it all when it launches.

For an initial iPad offering, again, it feels really good. And even giant companies like Google are over here with garbage iPad apps like YouTube that can’t handle stage manager well. So bravo.
