Ivory for Mac will be released tomorrow!

We’ve decided to keep things simple as far as subscriptions go. If you paid for “Premier”, you’ll automatically get access to the Mac app as we have changed “Premier” to “Universal”.

If you paid for “Pro”, you’ll get the same access to “iOS + iPadOS”.

If you upgrade to “Universal”, your sub date will reset and you’ll be refunded the remainder of your Pro subscription.

We know you are totally unaware, but Ivory for Mac is now on the App Store! This is a big milestone for us and we can now focus on making Ivory better and building new features across iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. Thank you so much for all the support!

Ivory for Mac

A Mastodon app based on the award-winning Twitter app for Mac.

Tapbots, LLC.
@ivory If I've already purchased an annual subscription to the iOS version a few weeks ago, can I somehow upgrade to the ‘Universal' version by paying only the difference?
@michael @ivory hey Michael. I hit the new subscription on macOS and Apple automatically refunded me the difference on the old one.

@elliot

Ah, I can see the upgrade option now on the iOS app. It wasn’t there when I looked earlier. Probably just caching.

@ivory

@michael Unfortunately there's only one way to upgrade. Apple's way. When you upgrade through our app, Apple will refund you the pro-rated funds for the time you didn't use.
@ivory @michael I think you should enable another mode of payment. Wouldn’t that be like a 25-30% discount for guys who take annual subscription?
@ivory I've been enjoying Ivory for Mac so much - brings the excellent experience from iOS to the desktop. Highly recommend!
@kyleniemeyer @ivory The death of twitter and the fragmentation of the landscape has only led me to spend less time on social media. wtaf.
@inundata @ivory yeah, same tbh. I'm on Mastadon but my network/community here is much smaller, so much less to see (so far)
@ivory I can assure you I am far from "totally unaware" 😀
@ivory there seems to be a discrepancy in my iOS + macOS Yearly subscription term. On iOS it shows my sub expires 24th March 2024 (correct) but on macOS it says 12th August 2023. Thanks for any help!

@purplelime Probably because you had the beta (TestFlight) version of the app before? If you go to your Mac system settings, search for "Subscription”, click on "Media and Purchases", and then “Manage" subscriptions, it will open the App Store to your list of subscriptions and Ivory should be in there with the correct date.

If that's the case, I wouldn't worry about the date in the app. It should update at some point.

@ivory yeah I used to have the beta which I removed. I checked the subscription via Mac App Store as you suggested and it says next billing date for Ivory is 31st January 2024. So yes I think I’ll just leave it for now and hope it adjusts itself in time. Thanks!
@ivory Time to give Ivory a try!

@ivory Well done! Great work.

Take a break (but not too long, because we’re all hungry for more 😆)

@ivory works great! I love the timeline sync!

@ivory

First time customer for your products!

I love how silky smooth the whole experience is on my Mac. Super slick and it just feels "right”

Thank for the Universal subscription and can't wait to see how Ivory progresses.

@ivory just downloaded and upgraded my subscription for macOS and iOS :) Looks beautiful so far!
@ivory I just subbed so I can keep my timeline in sync across both. Such a nice and much needed feature. 💗
@ivory
Should people on TestFlight stay or download the released version?
@JJKrawczyk If your testflight version is .8 then get on the release because .8 won't be updated anymore. If you are on .9, it's totally up to you. The .9 version will get the latest updates usually a bit before we plan to push things to the app store for some final testing.
@ivory Wish Ivory was available for Monterey! 😭. I have the 2013 Mac Pro and sadly it’s starting to miss out on more and more (including Ventura). Guess I have more motivation to upgrade now…
@shellsharks we really tried to include Monterey but there were too many bug fixes in Apple's code in Ventura that we needed.
@shellsharks use opencore legacy and update it to ventura
@radu how stable is it? Any known loss of functionality? I’d def consider it…
@ivory Ivory works like a charm! I love it as much as I love the iOS app. Great job! 🙌🏻
@ivory is it expected behavior when you hide the app COMMAND H on the Mac that the second and third columns close and it’s a single column app again when you open it?
@dominocollege Are you sure you didn't cmd-w to close the window instead? Cmd-h just hides the window and columns are saved then and if you quit the app. Currently we don't save when you close the window, but we plan to change that.
@ivory I may have done that. I would vote to change that behavior to remember columns after reopening it. Thanks!
@ivory Would love to, but laptop won’t handle the version of macOS needed to run this. Wishing you all the best 😊
@ivory my iMac now feels complete again
@ivory congrats y’all, it is beautiful ♥️
@ivory I got it yesterday, and am loving it!
@ivory Totally aware, and totally been using the beta for ages and now the lovely v1.0 :)
@ivory would you consider adding a setting that lets us make sure the window column layout we have sad does not go away. Each time I open the app I have to set it up again.
@richaesthetic It's planned. For now, try not to close the window. You can quit or hide and it will remember the state.
@ivory I will keep that in mind!
@ivory next up: add support for Micro.blog!
@ivory just installed the Mac version last night. Looks good!
@ivory stuck on Monterey because of some audio gear 😭
@ivory Any chance of adding an option to buy the Mac app without having to do a subscription? I would gladly pay a higher price for a one-time purchase.
@wigging No plans at this time, unfortunately. If Apple ever provides better single-pay/upgrade pricing options, something like that might be possible.
@ivory The upgrade from the iOS yearly subscription to the iOS + macOS yearly subscription was flawless. Great job!
@ivory I’m sad I cannot run it on one of my Macs that is perfectly usable, but stuck on Monterey.
@ivory my biggest wish: your thread feature from Tweetbot!
@ivory best part is that the emoji picker on the Mac version now works 😍
