Leomard is a Lemmy client for macOS, written in Swift using SwiftUI. Leomard allows you to browse Lemmy instances, view posts and comments, and create new posts and comments, read replies, and more.

I made this app, because I do not like Lemmy's web interface, and I wanted to learn Swift. Besides, I like using native apps more than web apps.



This app is free and open source, is not affiliated with Lemmy or its developers, and it is developed in my free time. Please note that this app is still in early development, so bugs and issues are to be expected.



### Why the name?



- Leopard, but with an M, because it's a Lemmy client (the app icon is a leopard)

- Leopards are larger than lemmings

- Cats are cool



## Requirements



- macOS 13.0 Ventura or later



## Installation



Download the .dmg file from the releases page, and drag the app to your Applications folder.



Start the app, you can login by clicking "Profile" in the bottom left corner.



*Note: You may be prompted to allow the app to access your Keychain. This is required to store your authorization token. It's recommended to press "Always Allow" to avoid having to enter your password every time you start the app.*



*Note: macOS may warn you that the app is from an unidentified developer. This is because I don't have an Apple Developer account, and the app has not been notarized. You can still run the app by going into System Settings > Privacy & Security > Scroll to Security section > Click "Open Anyway"*
