Mona, the Mastodon client for iPhone, iPad, and Mac is out.

If customization and automation is your thing this is the app to use.

My review on @macstories:

Mona: A Unique Mix of Customization Options and Features You Won’t Find in Any Other Mastodon App

Mona is a brand new, highly customizable Mastodon client from Junyu Kuang, the developer of Spring, which is one of the few remaining third-party Twitter clients that still works and pioneered many of the features found in Mona. Mona, which is available on the iPhone, iPad, and Mac, is a power-user app through and through.

@johnvoorhees @macstories Thanks for the breakdown. Been using the beta but didn’t exercise it as far as you did. My one problem in the Mac app is how if you select a post which expands to an additional column, going back doesn’t retract the column. Mona folks say it’s as-designed, “just like Finder windows”. Haven’t found a keystroke to make it single column, & having to drag the window width back (no snapping either) is tedious.

@podfeet @johnvoorhees @macstories There’s a setting to turn off multi-columns - I’ve done that on the mac client because I like a single long window at the side of the screen.

@donkey @johnvoorhees @macstories oh that might help!

@donkey @johnvoorhees @macstories Just turned off column view on 12.9” iPad Pro too - that giant empty white column is annoying. Doesn’t hurt anything functionally, and I can see why multi-column is helpful, but I would prefer if it went back to one wide column if it’s got nothing to display on the right.

@podfeet @johnvoorhees @macstories Yep - I find the column view makes more sense on my iPad, but single column on the Mac works for me. It’s nice just having the flexibility in a socmed client!
