    FreeOpen sourceWindowsLinuxAndroid

    Tuba is a GTK client for Linux, Windows and Android with scheduled posts, polls and admin tools, and it fits GNOME better than KDE Plasma.

    FreeOpen sourceWindowsmacOSLinux

    Whalebird adds macOS support and works with Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, GoToSocial and Pixelfed accounts, but it offers only a single-column layout.

  • Elk

    A lightweight open-source web client for Mastodon that runs in the browser.

    FreeOpen sourceWeb

    Elk runs in any modern browser with nothing to install, so it replaces a native KDE desktop app with an open-source Mastodon web interface.

  • Phanpy

    A minimalistic, opinionated web client for reading and posting on Mastodon from a browser.

    FreeProprietaryWeb

    Phanpy is a minimal, opinionated Mastodon web client that runs in any browser, so it trades native desktop integration for a browser tab.

  • Ice Cubes

    An open-source Mastodon client for iPhone, iPad and Mac, written in SwiftUI.

    FreeOpen sourcemacOSiOS

    Ice Cubes is a native SwiftUI Mastodon client for Mac, iPhone and iPad, so it suits Apple users rather than Linux or Windows desktops.
