Megalodon is a modified version of the official Mastodon Android app adding important features that are missing in the official app, such as the federated timeline, unlisted posting and an image description viewer.
Key features
- Unlisted posting: Post publicly without having your post show up in trends, hashtags or public timelines.
- Federated timeline: See all public posts from people on all other Fediverse neighborhoods your home instance is connected to.
- Custom timelines: Pin any list or hashtag to your Megalodon’s home tab to simply swipe between your favorite topics and people!
- Drafts and scheduled posts: Allows for preparing a post and scheduling it to send it automatically at a specific time.
- Answering follow requests: Accept or decline follow requests from your notifications or the dedicated Follow requests list.
- Delete and re-draft: The much-loved feature that made editing possible without an actual editing function.
- Post visibility indicator: When opening or replying to a post, a handy icon indicating the post’s visibility will be displayed.
- Color themes: Should you not like the default Pink color them (the shark is silently judging you), Moshidon’s color themes got you covered.
- Better compatibility: For those of use who are on Glitch or Akkoma servers, Megalodon provides various extra features and improvements.
While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device. Some clients have this repo enabled by default, e.g. Neo Store, Droid-ify, or, of course, the IzzyOnDroid client by Sunil. With others (like the official client) you'll have to add this repo manually (see the hint on top of the package list for how to do that).
