About Manfred for Mastodon

Manfred does your Mastodon business. It is a simple yet powerful Mastodon client. It is fast, tidy and respectful of your attention. Unlike other platforms, Mastodon has no algorithmic feed and no engagement tricks: it simply gives you your timelines. Manfred lets you shape them exactly how you like, and helps you put the app down when you are done. YOUR HOME SCREEN, YOUR RULES Compose your home screen from timelines, lists, hashtags and notifications. Arrange them as tabs on your phone or side by side on your tablet. FOCUS MODE Flip one switch and your timeline becomes finite: Manfred stops right where you last left off, hides engagement counts, and reduces notifications to mentions only. Read what's new, see "you're all caught up", and get on with your day. Turn it off any time and Manfred behaves like a classic client again. TRULY PRIVATE PUSH Push notifications are strictly opt-in and end-to-end encrypted. Our relay server forwards notifications without being able to read them. Not even we know who has mentioned you. MANY ACCOUNTS, ONE APP Switch between accounts on any instance with a single tap and reply as whichever persona suits. FILTERS THAT WORK Hide boosts, replies or bots per column, and show any column as a classic timeline, a photo gallery, or a media list. CONVERSATIONS THAT MAKE SENSE Threads are shown as a tree with colour-coded levels, and replies carry their context with them. Collapse the branches you have already read. CHECK OUT SERVER TIMELINES Preview any instance's local timeline (if they allow it) anonymously before signing in. SHARING MADE EASY Share text, links and images from other apps straight into the Manfred composer. PRIVACY Manfred collects no personal data and shows no ads. Your settings stay on your device, and the app only ever communicates with the Mastodon server you choose. Note: you need a Mastodon account, available for free on many instances (see joinmastodon.org).

What’s new

Version 2.4.5 · Updated October 21, 2026

Thanks for using Manfred! Here is what's new: • Signing in works on servers whose handles use a different domain than the server itself, such as Vivaldi Social. You can also enter the domain from your handle, for example vivaldi.net. • Push notifications no longer stop silently. Manfred renews the subscription by itself when it has become invalid, so you no longer need to switch push off and on again. • Paste a link to a post into the Discover search and the post opens right away, even if it lives on another server. • Link previews show wide images in full instead of cropping them at the sides. • More privacy: Manfred no longer contacts Google when it starts. Firebase is only set up once you turn on push notifications.
