Mast
Mast is a third-party client for Mastodon, the decentralized social networking platform. It allows users to browse, compose and interact with posts (toots) on any Mastodon server without using the official web interface. Mast offers a native macOS experience with features like multiple timeline views, media galleries, notifications, search, and the ability to follow accounts across federated instances. It is designed for users who prefer a native desktop app over the web interface when engaging with the Mastodon social network.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find clear current information about whether Mast has been updated to a native Apple Silicon build. The search results did not contain architecture details for this app. Since you still have time before Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), contact the developer directly via their website or repository to ask whether a native build is planned or already available. If the developer is no longer actively maintaining Mast, consider switching to an actively developed Mastodon client such as Mona or Ice Cubes, both of which ship natively on Apple Silicon and are under active development. The official Mastodon web interface also works well in any modern browser on M-series Macs.
