Hi and welcome @forumcopilot, I’ve moved your topic because the extras category is meant to be for completed projects you can download today. Good luck with the project! :3

I’ve seen a couple of other attempts at native apps but they are both abandoned and closed source to my knowledge ([Forumate - Native Discourse client for iOS](https://meta.discourse.org/t/forumate-native-discourse-client-for-ios/267125), [Fig - Native Discourse client for iOS - #111 by nanohits](https://meta.discourse.org/t/fig-native-discourse-client-for-ios/148352/111)). Something better maintained (especially open source) could be cool! I’d love to be using a native app to save on power and the iOS26 eye candy but I haven’t come across anything full featured that still works well today.
