This is the best summary I could come up with:
Though numerous Bluesky projects built on the company’s API are already in the works or in testing, Graysky will be the first to ship to the App Store, where it’s now available for pre-order with an October 21st launch date.
That means instead of being defaulted to an algorithmic “For You” timeline, Bluesky users can subscribe to custom feeds that the company or other developers have created that filter the posts across the network in any number of ways.
Others have built custom feeds based on themes or interests, like those for cute animal pics, tech news, gardening, books, astronomy, or even adult content.
Other Graysky tabs let you compose a post (where it offers a better alt text edit for attached images), access your notifications, and view your profile.
From the app’s main menu, you can keep tabs on your invite codes, change the app’s theme to a light or dark mode, and adjust other settings like those related to your account, handle, your moderation and home feed preferences — like how much adult or violent content you’re okay with viewing or whether you want to see reposts — your muted users, and more.
Though Graysky was largely built by Newman, he credits others for their help with the project, including Bluesky users @alice.bsky.sh (Alice) @holden.bsky.social (Holden Foreman), and @matthewstanciu.com.
