Pinafore is an alternative web client for Mastodon focused on speed, simplicity, accessibility, and progressive web app features. It is a static site that stores all data locally in the browser and supports multiple fediverse instances.

Use cases

• use mastodon in the browser with a faster simpler client
• self-host a mastodon web frontend
• access mastodon offline in read-only mode
• manage multiple fediverse accounts from one client
• use mastodon on low-end devices
• use mastodon as a progressive web app

When to choose

• you want a lightweight, accessible Mastodon web client with PWA support
• you need multi-instance fediverse support in a static, self-hostable site
• you prefer a simple single-column timeline over feature-heavy clients

When to avoid

• you need active maintenance, bug fixes, or support for new Mastodon API features
• you need multi-column layouts, admin/moderation tools, or offline read-write mode
• you need native mobile or desktop apps
