Graysky 2.0

A faster alternative client for Bluesky

Website graysky.app
Overview

What it is

Graysky is a third-party client for Blusky Social for iOS and Android which adds GIFs, inline translations, and hashtags with a layout that prioritizes your custom feeds. The first 3rd party client on the App Store!

Intent

I need it when

Translate posts and interact with multilingual content without friction

Graysky includes inline post translation powered by DeepL, allowing users to read and respond to content in other languages without leaving the app or opening external tools

Use Bluesky on iOS and Android with a polished, native experience

Graysky is available on both iOS and Android as a native app with accessibility features like dark mode, offering a consistent, responsive alternative to the official Bluesky app across mobile platforms

View and share GIFs and see engagement metrics across profiles

Graysky enables GIF viewing, posting, and autoplay, plus a likes tab visible on any user's profile—features absent from the official Bluesky app—helping users discover trending content and understand post engagement

Receive push notifications and manage Bluesky invitations

Graysky provides push notifications for account activity and displays a list of users invited to Bluesky, improving real-time engagement and invitation tracking compared to the official client

Browse Bluesky with a feature-rich, feed-first interface

Graysky prioritizes custom feeds on the home screen and offers a cleaner layout than the official Bluesky app, enabling users to discover and manage multiple feeds more efficiently while maintaining fast, smooth performance

Drop

Not a fit when

  • User requires official Bluesky app support or guarantees—Graysky is a third-party client with independent development and may lack feature parity
  • User needs active, frequent app updates—development appears dormant as of late 2024 with no updates in months despite Bluesky's official app receiving multiple updates
  • User relies on iPad-native experience—multiple reviews report navigation issues, feed position loss, and poor dark mode visibility on iPad
  • User requires video posting capability—app supports video viewing but video posting is not yet implemented
  • User needs guaranteed account security without app passwords—while safe, Bluesky recommends creating restricted app passwords for third-party clients
