About Skylight
Skylight is a social app for short videos built on the AT Protocol, the open network behind Bluesky. Because of that, your videos, followers and engagement are not tied to Skylight, and you can take them to another AT Protocol service. You can sign in with an existing Bluesky account.
The app emphasises control over your feed, letting you decide what appears and making sure you see the people you follow. It suits people who want a short-video app without platform lock-in.
