Butterfly App Brings Bluesky Social Network to Your Apple Watch
Butterfly for Bluesky Puts the Social Network on Your Wrist
- Reuben Catchpole, developer of the Instagram client Lens for watchOS, has created a new app called Butterfly.
- The app allows users to access Bluesky social network directly from their Apple Watch.
- Users can scroll through feeds, engage with posts, view and send messages, check notifications, and write their own posts.
- Butterfly works independently on the Apple Watch without needing an iPhone client.
- Users can install it directly on their watch and log in using the watch keyboard, password keychain, or iPhone keyboard.
- Once logged in, users have access to their Discover or Following timelines along with controls for notifications, messaging, new posts, searching, viewing profiles, and accounts.
- The app is free to download for browsing timelines but requires an optional in-app purchase to unlock additional features like messaging, posting, and more.
