Tapestry by Iconfactory

Description of App

Tapestry weaves your favorite blogs, social media, and more into a unified and chronological timeline.

⁕ The Web Your Way

Tapestry combines posts from your favorite social media services like Bluesky, Mastodon, Tumblr along with others like RSS feeds, podcasts, YouTube channels, and more. All of your content is presented in chronological order, with no algorithm deciding what you should or shouldn't see.

⁕ A Bird's Eye View

Tapestry makes it easier than ever to browse content from dozens or even hundreds of sources. Create custom timelines, seamlessly sync your reading position across devices, and keep track of feeds in an easy-to-read, color-coded stream of content.

⁕ Avoid Spoilers. Everywhere.

Quickly create powerful rules that control what you do and don't see across all your feeds. Avoid potential spoilers and stay clear of unwanted topics by creating rules that muffle and mute items in everything you follow.

⁕ Powerful Searching

Search for topics and terms across all feeds simultaneously. Tapestry makes it easy to find that blog post, YouTube video, or podcast you're looking for - and easy to mark it for later.

⁕ Private By Design

Your privacy is a priority. Tapestry works with content stored on your device, so searching and viewing content is completely private. We never sell or share your data with third parties.

⁕ Custom Connectors

Expand Tapestry’s potential with third-party connectors. Import custom connectors from trusted developers, or even write your own to add your favorite bit of data to the timeline. If there's an open data feed available, a connector can weave it into Tapestry.

Additional Features:

• Universal app for iOS and iPadOS

• Quickly open posts in your favorite third party apps to take action

• Syncs your reading position via iCloud across devices

• Fully accessible using VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, and more

• Customize Tapestry's app icon, layout, and fonts

• Create custom timelines of your favorite feeds

• Mark your favorite items to read later

• Light and dark mode support

Other Comments

Tapestry is a highly accessible and user-friendly app that makes it easy to keep track of what matters most across various platforms—all in one place.

While it won’t replace my RSS aggregator (Lire) or my preferred Mastodon app (IceCubes), integrating them into Tapestry would likely overwhelm how I consume content. Instead, Tapestry serves as my go-to tool for curating and keeping tabs on my most important updates, while Lire and IceCubes remain essential when I have more time to dive deeper into my extensive RSS feeds and followed accounts.

A standout feature is the ability to follow YouTube channels alongside platforms like Bluesky, streamlining my workflow by consolidating everything into a single app. This convenience saves me the hassle of opening multiple apps and sifting through content manually.

Tapestry is a must-have, offering a unique and efficient way to stay on top of what’s truly important. I highly recommend it!

There have been many accessibility improvements in this latest version of Tapestry. They are using the actions rotor, and each post is now a single element. This means that one swipe will move you to the next or previous post. I've moved some of my rss feeds and YouTube channels into this app. Now that I've been playing with this update and I'm seeing all of these improvements, I'll be moving all of my rss feeds and YouTube channels into this app. I'm not sure about my Mastodon feed because I follow so many people, so I may just stick with Mona for that.

I am loving this app. although I do wish that I could do things like boost and reply to mastodon and Bluesky posts.also notifications would be nice. I've added my RSS feeds to the app.
