Description
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

What’s New
Version 1.0.1
VoiceOver navigation improvements, greatly expanded muffle/mute options, content warnings, the ability to open Mastodon posts in the official app, new app icons & more.
IMPROVEMENTS
• Timeline:
- Added support for content warnings in the timeline
- Fixed missing line breaks when rendering HTML block elements
- Increased the size of the bullet symbol when rendering list items
- The system font is now available as a free option in addition to Georama
- Removed extra line breaks in the body text of some feeds
- The "via" label is now hidden if you only have a single feed defined for that connector. For example, if you only have one Mastodon account then there is no need to display which account Mastodon items came from in your timeline. However if you have two or more Mastodon accounts defined, then the "via" line will appear on items so you can tell what came from which account. This applies to all connectors that require authentication such as Mastodon, Bluesky, Micro.blog, etc.
• VoiceOver:
- Timeline rows (items and ads) are now represented as one accessibility element with custom actions for more streamlined navigation [Thanks Ed & Marco!]
- VoiceOver can now focus on the image in the media viewer so it can be read
- Improved VoiceOver labels in media viewer
• Muffle/mute:
- Rules can now be configured to apply only to a subset of feeds
- Keywords now support wildcard matching
- Added media ALT text, link preview text, links, annotations, content warnings, and even body source code as matching options for keywords
- Keywords now match at word boundaries - this may break rules that depended on the old behavior, but this is a better default for most people. (You can still use regular expressions or additional keywords if you need to get fancy.)
• New app icons: Bluff Creek, Covington, Redmond, Springfield & Twin Peaks
• Removed percentage savings from yearly subscription button
• Fixed a search bug that could result in incorrect or missing results
• Fixed the URL for the "Sponsor Tapestry" button in Settings
• Added a debugging mode switch to Advanced Settings
• Fixed the delete button's label in the rule keyword editor
• Fixed potential crashes caused by executing on wrong thread
• OPML file import now works with .xml files and ignores the version number [Thanks MrMamen!]
• Feeds returning ISO Latin characters like it's 1999 are now handled correctly [Thanks Mikkel!]
CONNECTORS
• Added the official Mastodon app (v2025.01 or later) to the Open In settings [Thanks Shannon!]
• Fixed a problem loading mentions on Mastodon
• Added a check for empty titles in JSON feeds [Thanks David!]
• Improved date checking so certain RSS feeds can load correctly [Thanks Kris & Darrin!]
• Podcasts with missing/invalid episode links are now handled correctly [Thanks Garner!]
Ratings and Reviews
Legendary app from legendary development team
Tapestry is a new addition to a growing crowd of feed aggregation apps, but this app brings with it the Iconfactory teams iconic design and quality.
Don’t look at this as a simple RSS reader. It can bring together a much wider range of content that *you* tailor to your needs and interests. It’s not a replacement for RSS feed apps, it’s an evolution in every way.
Tapestry is beautiful and a real joy to use. It’s my go to ‘reading with a cup of tea’ app and has changed the way I consume and aggregate my content, focusing on smaller / personal blogs and content that can be read for leisure and fun, not just to get through a thousand RSS feeds.
Think differently.
“In the tapestry of life, we're all connected. Each one of us is a gift to those around us helping each other be who we are, weaving a perfect picture together.”
My new Favorite doom scroll.
Whilst Tapestry does not have many of the traditional features of an RSS reader, which is fine because it’s not an RSS reader and at this point even some of the dedicated reader apps don’t have those features, it makes it very very easy to keep up-to-date with news and social media.
Better still, it’s already fairly polished, and even getting book fixes and updates only four days after release.
The rich tapestry of life
Tapestry delivers a richness no single social media app has ever managed, by seamlessly weaving your separate feeds into one timeline.
It’s a very well thought out system and shows the power of open standards. It has good customisation options, and you can even create your own “connectors” for adding new types of content to your feeds.
Social media as it should be, when freed from the corporate shackles!
