What is Indigo?
Indigo is a social networking app for Mac, iPhone, and iPad that brings Bluesky and Mastodon together in one client. It is designed for people who use both networks and want to read, reply, and post without switching between separate apps. Indigo combines feeds into a single timeline, supports cross-posting to both services at once, and includes tools for viewing threads, replies, and conversations in a more streamlined way. It also syncs your position across supported Apple devices so you can move between Mac and mobile more easily. The app is made by Soapboxsoftware and focuses on making decentralized social networking simpler for everyday use.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Indigo is a legitimate social networking client for Apple devices. Its network access and account sign-in are normal for an app that connects to Bluesky and Mastodon, and features like posting, notifications, and synced use across devices rely on that access. As with any social client, what you share, read, or message may be subject to the privacy and moderation rules of the connected services. Use only the accounts you intend to connect, and review the app’s privacy information if you plan to post, message, or enable notifications.
Recommendation: Keep Indigo if you actively use Bluesky or Mastodon on your Mac and want one app for both services. If you no longer use it, you can remove it like other Mac apps; doing so will stop its notifications and access to your connected social accounts on this device.
