Hello! I have made a macOS client for Lemmy - Leomard. It’s an initial version of the app, and my first macOS app made for the public.
Features
- Mac-native client
- Fast, small and light (only 9.2 MB)
- Open source (GPLv3)
- Beautiful responsive interface
Of course, it’s a very early version, some features are missing (ex. image uploading), and you may encounter a bug here and there.
Don’t forget to follow Leomard’s community: !leomard@lemm.ee
Or straight to the project’s Git: https://github.com/Athlon007/Leomard
If you have questions, feel free to ask :)
Hi everybody! This is the initial release of Leomard - a native macOS client app written in Swift using SwiftUI. It’s still in very early phase of development, features are missing, but it’s a start. Feedback is most welcome!

Nice!
Now I wish I had a mac
Wow, that’s very flattering to hear! Unfortunately the app is written in SwiftUI, so it’s strictly tied to macOS.
iPadOS version tho…
iPad version yes!
Android pls
I don’t use Android. Besides, it’s written in SwiftUI so porting it would be impossible
That’s unfortunate. Loving the icon, probably the best lemmy design an UI.
That looks very nice. Any chance to make this for Linux?
The logic of the app should be portable to Linux or Windows (with some modification), as Swift does run on both.
Front-end would need to be rewritten from scratch though, as SwiftUI is not available on Linux. Sorry :(
I’d do it if I knew how. Well, I guess I’ll wait for a kind soul to do it.
Honestly, don’t bother with waiting for Leomard. I’ve seen there are Lemmy clients written in GTK, such as Lemoa and Lemonade.
