Download Arctic on the AppStore!


I am thrilled to announce that Arctic is now available on the AppStore! Looking back, it's amazing to see how much progress Arctic has made in the last six months. Initially, I began working on Arctic as a personal project to fill the void after leaving Reddit during the API fiasco. I had no intention of releasing it publicly. Now, I have a fully-featured Lemmy client, a fantastic group of beta testers on TestFlight, and an official release on the AppStore.

However, the journey isn't over yet. I have many exciting plans for Arctic, and this is just a significant milestone. Going forward, I plan to release more targeted updates on TestFlight and create a public roadmap for AppStore releases.

I would like to thank everyone who was involved with Arctic's TestFlight for all the valuable feedback and suggestions that have helped shape Arctic!

  • Perfect! Thank you. I went to make a donation through the app but forgot it's TestFlight mode so it isn't real. Do you have a buymeacoffee.com or other means? Want to help in order to get widget support (⊃。•́‿•̀。)⊃

    • I do have a buymeacoffee, you can also find it in the sidebar for the Arctic community, or on getarctic.app. I’m not able to add a direct link to other payment options in the app due to AppStore policies.

      I’m working on a bug fix, and feature request build right now, but the next release I will add some widgets and other extensions. I know we talked about this a couple of weeks ago.

    • Working on widgets today, I’ll hopefully have a few ready by this evening.

      • ٩(◕‿◕。)۶ thank you!

        • I didn’t quite get them ready yesterday, but I almost have the first set of post feed widgets ready.

          large medium small options

          I’ll hopefully have these ready by tomorrow, I still have a bit to do improving the layout and adding variants for the display style. I have a bunch of other ideas for widgets too, but if you have any requests, I’m happy to add them to the list.

          • Those look great! My only request is the ability to show from multiple communities from my home feed. Thank you

            • I think I have this first set of widgets ready to go. I should hopefully be able to release them tomorrow.

              About the multiple communities, do you mean multiple communities in the same widget, or different communities for different widgets?

              Right now you can select an account and use your home feed (subscriptions) as the listing type. Or you can choose individual communities for different widgets. If you mean multiple communities in the same widget, this may have to wait until I add support for community groups in Arctic just because the widget settings UI would not allow for configuring multiple communities in a user friendly way.

              As for community groups in Arctic, I actually stumbled upon something the other day that resolves one of my key concerns about community groups, so I may be adding support for those very soon.
