MultiTab App Series

Introducing the newest member of the MultiTab app series: MultiTab for Bluesky.

Bluesky is the rising star among today's social networks, and it deserves a better app: one that leaves behind slow responsiveness, heavy memory usage that forces frequent restarts, and limited media features. MultiTab for Bluesky is built natively from the ground up. It stays fast and light, packed with rich media features that take your Bluesky experience to a whole new level.

BROWSE YOUR WAY

Multi-Tab — Every feed opens in its own tab, with menus like 'Close This', 'Close All But This', and 'Tab History'. The tab bar auto-hides as you scroll and returns when you need it.

Card / List / Media Layouts — Card for focused reading, List for fast scanning, and Media Grid for browsing images and videos. Switch between them with a simple swipe and tap.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED

A Full-Featured Bluesky Client — Posting, Chat, Notifications, even a Posting Queue.

Rich Media Features — fullscreen media navigation, Slide Show, Shuffle Slide Show, and Batch Download.

Universal App — one app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Multiple Accounts — switch between accounts with ease.

iCloud Sync — keep your active tabs aligned across all your devices.

Free with ads. An optional subscription removes ads and unlocks more.

Fixed an issue where post content could occasionally appear overlapped on posts containing "Keep Reading".

When editing text in the posting view, tapping will move the caret directly to the tapped position.

We revamped the Tab Bar design and functionality on iOS 26.

New Tab Gestures: Drag the current tab to reveal actions: 'Close Tab', 'Manage Tabs', and 'Hide Tab'. Drop onto the desired action, or throw the tab toward it.

Simple 'swipe up' on the Tab Bar to access Tab Manager still works as before.

Additional settings are available in Tab Settings:

'Hide Pan Gesture Hint': After you learn the gestures, you won't need it.

'Don't Show "Hide Tab" Action': Swiping down to hide the tab bar still works.

'Reduce Tab Menu Animations'.

And some more changes including:

Changed the default theme to Light. The previous 'Default' has been renamed to 'Light 2'.

Added an option to download media via long press in fullscreen view, in addition to starting the slideshow.

[Update: 2025-10-28] Another bug fix release with the following changes:

Fixed: Grid/Media mode not returning to last viewed position.

Fine-tuned Tab Gesture animation.

[Update: 2025-11-17] Bug fixing update with the several internal improvements.

The Blog Activity is now supported. Activity buttons have been added to the 'My Blogs' list in the left user menu.

Added an Automatic Theme Mode option that follows the iOS system setting. Supported on iOS 17 and later.

And minor improvements and bug fixes.

New 'My Communities' section at the left user menu, below the 'My Blogs' section.

You can use the community feed as any other blog feed. You can add it to a FeedSet, create a filter on community feed.

'Browse Communities by Tags' feature will help you to discover new communities.

New option to specify the posting blog for Quick Reblog: either the last used blog(default) or a specified blog. This allows users to always quick reblog to a specific blog/community, which is helpful for those with many blogs and communities.

Additional options to reduce community spam posts. It's at the Feed Settings and enabled at default.

Unfortunately, some community features, such as moderation mode, are not provided.

And some improvements and bug fixes including:

Resolved an issue with incorrect formatting(bold/italic...) of text with emojis when posting.

Dark/Tinted icon support for iOS 18.

The height of the video scrubbing bar has been slightly increased.

Detail/Grid/Media Control: New display mode selection method. You can directly change display mode using this control at the tab menu. Grid/Media mode is the same as the previous 'All Photos' option. This was previously in the grid layout settings, but it has been reorganized for easier use.

Grid mode on iPad supports both square and flexible layouts.(Default is changed to square.)

Only iOS 13 and later versions are supported. iOS 12 is no longer supported. Additionally, support for 3D Touch is being discontinued.

Like Post When Download: You can download and like media at the same time with this option. Located at the media download section in Settings->Display(need some scroll). Only applied when using 'Save Image', 'Download Video' menu. It will be not applied for batch download or saving via 'Share Image' menu.

In this update(version 7.8.3) we revamped the many animations including grid/detail transition, fullscreen presentation and tab manage view. New animation effects are applied to all iOS versions.

Scrolling performance enhanced in detail mode.

We have a long list of improvements and bug fixes in this update(version 7.8.0).

Support iOS 17.

Fix the 'Liked Posts' bug that some posts were missing during pagination.

Fix the crash when selecting 'Open the Post Reblogged' menu.

Fix the emoji text formatting bug.

Video Posting is supported(at long last).

Post Notes: separated by Comment/Reblog/Like. The comment section includes reply and reblog with text.(BTW, the notes view is not exactly the same with the official Tumblr app. Not enough Tumblr API support yet. And sometimes, the comment section may include reblog/like if no comment exists.)

The feed menu button of the current tab is re-designed.

'Tag Search in this Blog' menu supports multiple tags delimited by Comma. It will search posts containing all the tags.

The list popup supports the 'Swipe Down' gesture on the navigation bar. When swiped down, it will be pinned to the bottom left or closed. For example, following blogs or post notes support this gesture.

Restore home screen quick action features.(It was accidently removed).

The default action for Hold Gesture on Post in Grid Mode is changed to Menu (from Like). You change this option at the Settings->Gestures.

The OAuth 2.0 is supported. But there are bugs when signing with Google/Apple in OAuth2.0 Tumblr API. So, the default method is still 1.0a. You can change this option at the 'Manage Accounts'.

iOS 12 or later is supported from this version.

PS. There was a minor bug fixing update(version 7.8.1) at 2023-10-18.

Theme Mode goes free. In terms of accessibility, it would be right to make it usable by all users. We will be grateful for the generous banner clicks.

Text Line Spacing: You can change line spacing for post text in detail mode at Settings->Display.

Refresh Manually When the Tab Changes. You can prevent automatic refresh for the outdated feed tab. This setting is only for Dashboard, Trending Posts. Blog tabs are not applied due to API limitations. It’s at Settings->Feed.

Shuffle slideshow: prefetching the feed tab and randomize slideshow. This feature supports on any feed tab: blogs, feedsets and filters of any feed. You can start at the tab action menu(more action button at the right side of tab menu) or by holding on fullscreen image. This requires paid subscription.

Add 'Go to Bottom' option to 'Holding on Current Tab' gesture. You can set at Settings-> Tab Settings.

Fix the tag editing bug on iPad.

Many improvements and bug fixes.

And the subscription price will be raised. As you may know, things are not going well for our MultiTab apps. Due to the API policy change of Twitter and Reddit, the Twitter app has been shut down, and the Reddit app is also increasingly in trouble. In order for us to continue development, we inevitably had to increase the price. We are raising the annual subscription price by $1 (effectively $5.99). This increase applies to everyone, including existing subscribers. Thank you for your support, and hope you understand this change.

This is a very small bug fixing update.

Today I was shocked to hear the news of Twitter's api policy change. It was announced on 3/30, but I saw it late. Under the new policy, developers must subscribe to the enterprice tier to run commercial apps, which costs at least $42,000 per month. This price range is absolutely beyond our reach. In this situation, we would no longer be able to service our 'MultiTab for Twitter' app.

Previously, as Twitter announced api v2, there were paid tiers of Essential and Elevated, and we thought we would be able to continue the service. However, the policy announced on 3/30 eliminates all of these intermediate tiers, leaving only a basic tier for hobbyists or students and an enterprise tier for paid services. This means that maybe all paid apps will no longer be able to continue.

This update(version 7.6.0) includes better support for iOS 16. In particular, the text display has been further optimized.

Poll post format is supported.(Display only. Vote at Tumblr app.)

Checkmark is supported. You can turn it off in Display Settings.

iOS 11 or later supported from this version.

And many small improvements and bug fixes.
