After Elon Musk took over Twitter, the company blocked third-party clients in 2023, including ones like Twitterrific, Tweetbot, and Fenix. Iconfactory, the company behind Twitterrifc, on Tuesday is finally launching its multi-feed app called Tapestry on Tuesday, which allows you to add sources like RSS, YouTube, Bluesky, Podcasts, Mastodon, Reddit, Tumblr, Micro.blog, GO Comics, and more to unified feeds.
Iconfactory initially launched Tapestry as a Kickstarter project in January 2025 and managed to raise over $177,000 through its crowdfunding efforts. The company hasn’t taken any investment from institutional investors to develop this project.
The idea behind the app is to collate different sources of information from across the web in one place.
Over the years, many platforms have emerged as hubs for different kinds of content. But an app that is just an RSS reader or supports one platform might not be enough to cover all these sources.
That’s why Tapestry at launch supports multiple protocols. The company said it’s using connectors to load content from different sources, and users can also add more connectors developed by others.
Users can add sources to the app and start by looking at the default feed. There are several customization options ranging from the look of the feed to font and from theme and icon style to how your link opens.
You can also create custom rules to mute or avoid certain content, including spoilers.
The app has a new feature called Muffle, borrowed from Twitterific, which doesn’t hide the content from your timeline on rule matching but shows up as a collapsed item. It’s a good way to temporarily hide content that you don’t want to fully turn off access to, as you would with muting.
Iconfactory said all user data is private and stored locally on the device. The company added that it doesn’t sell or share user data with third parties.
The app is free to use, but additional features like creating multiple feeds, removing ads, and custom icons are locked behind a subscription.
You can pay $1.99 a month, $19.99 a year, or a $79.99 one-time fee to get premium access to more features.
Indie developers have taken a liking to the idea of getting and storing information from multiple sources. The Browser Company’s engineer Nate Parrott built Feeeed, and Silvio Rizzi revamped the popular RSS app Reeder to become a multi-feed container. Former Twitter engineer Joe Fabisevich also created Plinky to make storing and consumption of content from different formats easier.
