In an age of more social media platforms than ever before, managing your content across them all can be quite a chore. That's where the incredibly cleverly named Croissant app comes into the equation. Developed by Ben McCarthy and Aaron Vegh, Croissant lets you post to Threads, Mastodon, and Bluesky using a beautifully designed interface.
Croissant lets you sign in to Threads, Mastodon, and Bluesky using each service's own respect login interface.
In my case, I signed in to my personal Threads, Mastodon, and Bluesky accounts, as well as my 9to5Mac accounts on each of those services. This makes it incredibly easy to cross-post between my personal or 9to5Mac accounts in one interface. It’s much, much better than manually switching between each individual app and account, even if the login process can be a bit tedious the first time you launch it.
When creating a post in Croissant, you have a distraction-free interface where you can write the post itself, as well as add images, alt text, and hashtags. The app also supports creating threads, adding content alerts for Mastodon, and managing audience visibility settings for threads and Mastodon.
The app’s interface is also customizable, letting you choose between eight different color options and seven different custom app icons. You can also save posts as drafts and come back to them later.
Croissant is available on the App Store for free with an in-app purchase of $2.99 per month or $19.99 per year to unlock all features. There’s also the option of a one-time payment of $59.99. Other social media management tools, like Buffer, are significantly more expensive.
Not everyone has to manage multiple social media accounts across multiple services. However, for those of us who do, Croissant is an incredibly useful app that feels right at home on my iPhone.
Follow Chance: Threads, Twitter, Instagram, and Mastodon.
