Download Arctic on the AppStore!


I am thrilled to announce that Arctic is now available on the AppStore! Looking back, it’s amazing to see how much progress Arctic has made in the last six months. Initially, I began working on Arctic as a personal project to fill the void after leaving Reddit during the API fiasco. I had no intention of releasing it publicly. Now, I have a fully-featured Lemmy client, a fantastic group of beta testers on TestFlight, and an official release on the AppStore.

However, the journey isn’t over yet. I have many exciting plans for Arctic, and this is just a significant milestone. Going forward, I plan to release more targeted updates on TestFlight and create a public roadmap for AppStore releases.

I would like to thank everyone who was involved with Arctic’s TestFlight for all the valuable feedback and suggestions that have helped shape Arctic!

    That’s fare, I’m currently working on an update to add more customization options to the post feed cells, and improve the layout of compact styles. If you have any suggestions I’m happy hear them.

    That’s a good point, I just really hadn’t received the feedback I needed to improve the mod tools ui until now. Thanks for the suggestions!

      Wondering, how hard would it be to implement the ability to adjust post title font to be larger/smaller than post body font on the feed?

        This would be quite simple to add. The issue I have with it is that most of the app is heavily text based, and it would be difficult to add font sizing support for individual locations.

        What I have thought about was font settings for different font styles. All of the fonts in Arctic follow The iOS design guidelines, so it would be fairly easy to add options to customize the size of the 8 different font sizes used in arctic.

        In the mean time, as that may take some time to implement, I might add an option for increase headline size for enlarging just headline text.

          I appreciate the answer! There’s something about the larger headline/title font that helps me focus better. But it’s not a make or break type of feature for me. Enjoying Arctic, regardless.
