I am thrilled to announce that Arctic is now available on the AppStore! Looking back, it's amazing to see how much progress Arctic has made in the last six months. Initially, I began working on Arctic as a personal project to fill the void after leaving Reddit during the API fiasco. I had no intention of releasing it publicly. Now, I have a fully-featured Lemmy client, a fantastic group of beta testers on TestFlight, and an official release on the AppStore.
However, the journey isn't over yet. I have many exciting plans for Arctic, and this is just a significant milestone. Going forward, I plan to release more targeted updates on TestFlight and create a public roadmap for AppStore releases.
I would like to thank everyone who was involved with Arctic's TestFlight for all the valuable feedback and suggestions that have helped shape Arctic!

Congratulations on the release, and thank you for your work so far!
I'm excited to see what comes next.
I love using Arctic!
Thank you! It’s been a lot of fun so far, and like you I’m excited for what’s to come. Also, thank you for all the support and feedback along the way!
Perfect! Thank you. I went to make a donation through the app but forgot it's TestFlight mode so it isn't real. Do you have a buymeacoffee.com or other means? Want to help in order to get widget support (⊃｡•́‿•̀｡)⊃
I do have a buymeacoffee, you can also find it in the sidebar for the Arctic community, or on getarctic.app. I’m not able to add a direct link to other payment options in the app due to AppStore policies.
I’m working on a bug fix, and feature request build right now, but the next release I will add some widgets and other extensions. I know we talked about this a couple of weeks ago.
Perfect. Thanks
Just sent a few coffees your way ☕️
Congrats on the release!
Thank you! I’m super excited about it.
Congratulations! One of the best lemmy apps out there, so excited it’s finally on the App Store!
Thank you, that means a lot! I’m super excited to have made it this far.
You’ve made an amazing app, you deserve it ❤️
Congratulations. That’s great news! Should we continue to use the test flight version, or switch to the AppStore one?
Thank you! I’m very excited about it.

It really depends on how you want to use Arctic. Currently the latest TestFlight release is the same as the AppStore version. Going forward, the TestFlight will usually be ahead of the AppStore version, but you may encounter more issues. So if you’d like a more stable experience, go with the AppStore version, or if you want to help test new features, stick with the TestFlight version.
Got it! Happy to keep testing.
Nice job. Downloaded it so I could use the tip jar link, but I’ll probably stay on the Test Flight.
Congratulations on the milestone! It’s a great app already! Looking forward to how it evolves.
Thank you! I’m very excited for what’s to come!
