Tusky is a free and open-source Android client for the Mastodon microblogging platform, written in Kotlin. It supports the full range of Mastodon features including photos, videos, lists, custom emojis, notifications, and drafts, with light, dark, and black themes following Material Design guidelines.

Use cases

• browse and post to Mastodon from an Android phone
• use a lightweight Mastodon client instead of the web interface
• manage multiple Mastodon accounts on Android
• install a Mastodon app from F-Droid without Google services
• follow timelines, lists, and notifications on the fediverse
• draft posts and use custom emojis on Mastodon

When to choose

• you want a native, well-maintained open-source Mastodon client for Android
• you prefer installing apps via F-Droid or want a de-Googled experience
• you need full Mastodon feature coverage including media, lists, and drafts
• you want Material Design theming with light/dark/black options

When to avoid

• you need an iOS or desktop Mastodon client
• you want a client for non-Mastodon ActivityPub platforms with different APIs
• you need to create or fully delete Mastodon accounts from within the app
• you require support for servers Tusky has deliberately blocked
