Tapbots Set to Launch ‘Phoenix’ for Bluesky Social Network
Tapbots, renowned for the now-retired Tweetbot application, is gearing up to introduce a new mobile app targeted at the burgeoning Bluesky social network later this year.

Introducing Phoenix
Codenamed Phoenix, this new application is being iphone-audio-and-video/” title=”Step Inside Apple's Secret Sound and Screen Lab: Unlocking the Future of iPhone Audio and Video!”>developed specifically for iPhone and Mac platforms alongside Ivory—the app Tapbots initially launched for Mastodon users. As indicated by Tapbots’ findings, the increasing traction of Bluesky has led their user base to become equally divided between Mastodon and Bluesky. This shift makes it critical for Tapbots to diversify beyond just Ivory.
Commitment to Both Platforms
The company reassures users that they will continue supporting Ivory post-launch of Phoenix. While both applications will incorporate shared functionalities, they are designed as distinct entities. The strategic decision was made with customer satisfaction in mind; rather than amalgamating features into a single app—which could hinder performance—Tapbots aims to offer tailored experiences across both platforms. However, plans are underway for cross-posting capabilities in future updates.
Evolving from Tweetbot
Following Twitter’s (now rebranded as X) withdrawal of support for third-party apps like Tweetbot, Tapbots redirected its focus towards developing Ivory—an application tailored specifically for Mastodon’s ecosystem. Both Mastodon and Bluesky have emerged as leading alternatives amid Twitter/X’s policy changes.
Upcoming Release Timeline
The anticipated launch window for Phoenix is summer of this year; early adopters can look forward to an exclusive public alpha release shortly thereafter. More detailed information regarding the app will be available directly on the official Tapbots website.
