We have Memmy which is pretty damn close.
Don’t forget voyager, it’s pretty much identical.
Mehhhhh. I know it’s a PWA but I’d still rather a native app.
If you’re on iOS there’s a native app in beta on TestFlight. https://testflight.apple.com/join/nWLw1MBM
Thank you! First impression of that app is really good.
Edit after a day’s use: it really scratches that itch. Smooth scrolling, looks great
No themes kills it for me. I hate dark black themes
it has themes now iirc.
Themes were added 3 days ago, currently on not-pure-black mode again. Now only missing the last 2% of features, which will come soon when the native app is released. But because it’s a PWA I can use it on desktop, so by that metric it’s already better than Apollo which I though I would never be able to say.
Memmy gang, represent
Team Memmy. It’s freaking great. And the amount of updates they post to the test channel. Fantastic. It’s nice logging in once a day and seeing some cool functionality pushed out.
Was gonna say, Memmy may as well be an Apollo fork from a couple years ago.
Voyager is “cleaner” looking, but Memmy is a native app which prob trumps that. That little rando freeze on voyager gets annoying after awhile
Voyager is getting an iOS native version. There’s a TestFlight version out right now, it’s really neat. Definitely scratches that Apollo itch.
Is it truly native build with Swift? Or is it repackaged pwa?
It’s a repackaged PWA using a web view for everything, using capacitor i believe
Agreed! Sadly, I have seen it reported that the actual app version has the random freeze as well. Hopefully that’s able to be resolved now that its an app.
