Indigo has launched a new social app that lets users cross-post to multiple decentralized platforms including Mastodon and Bluesky from a single interface. The app also provides a unified timeline aggregating content across these networks.

Indigo addresses fragmentation in the open social web by consolidating multiple platforms into one application. Users can compose posts once and distribute them across Mastodon, Bluesky, and other compatible services without switching between apps. The unified timeline feature pulls content from connected accounts, allowing users to browse posts from different networks in a single feed. This approach eliminates the need to maintain separate login sessions and manage multiple interfaces. The tool targets users frustrated by the proliferation of independent social networks following major platform changes. By enabling cross-posting and consolidated browsing, Indigo reduces friction for those split across decentralized alternatives. Indigo joins a growing set of tools attempting to bridge the fragmented landscape of open social platforms. The app supports ActivityPub-compatible services and BlueSky's AT Protocol, two key standards in the decentralized social space.
