SkyDeck for iPhone
Bluesky analytics on your iPhone
Most Bluesky analytics tools are websites you log into. SkyDeck is a native iOS app: the history lives on your phone, and the numbers can sit on your home screen.
What you get
- Follower growth as a curve, plus daily bars of new followers
- New followers and unfollows as dated lists with full profiles
- Post performance — likes, reposts, replies and quotes — kept over time
- Your best posts by period, and the people who engage with you most
- A posting heatmap over months
- Home screen widgets, Siri and Shortcuts
- Any custom Personal Data Server, not just bsky.social
Why native matters here
An analytics tool has to read your history and keep what it read. The question is where that ends up.
A web tool stores it on its own servers, which means an account, a login, and your social graph sitting in someone else's database for as long as they choose to keep it. SkyDeck stores it in a local database on your iPhone. There is no account to create and nothing of yours on a server of mine.
The second difference is where the numbers show up. Widgets put your profile stats, your posting activity and your top post on the home screen, and you can ask Siri for your follower count without opening anything. A browser tab cannot do that.
The trade is real and worth stating: there is no web dashboard and no Mac app — on a Mac it runs as the iOS app — and if you replace your phone the history moves with your device backup rather than living in the cloud.
Signing in
Sign in with Bluesky over OAuth, or use an app password. Your real password never reaches the app either way, and access is revocable from your Bluesky settings at any time. Custom Personal Data Servers are supported, not just bsky.social.
What it will not do
It will not show you views or reach, because the public AT Protocol API does not expose them. It will not schedule posts. It will not automate follows or run engagement campaigns. It reads your public data and tells you what happened.
Answers
Questions
Is there a Bluesky analytics app for iPhone?
Yes. SkyDeck is a native iOS app that records your follower history, post performance and engagement locally on the device, with home screen widgets and Shortcuts support.
Why an app rather than a website?
Two practical reasons. Your data stays on your phone instead of on someone else's server, and the numbers can sit on your home screen as widgets rather than behind a browser tab and a login.
Does it work offline?
The history is stored on the device, so everything you have already synced is readable without a connection. Fetching new data needs one, naturally.
What does it cost?
Free, and nothing you sync is truncated. Pro ($2.99 a month or $24.99 a year) adds top posts for past periods, the full engagement leaderboard, and more than one account.
Is there an iPad or Mac version?
It is a universal app, so it runs on iPad as well as iPhone, and on Apple silicon Macs as the iOS app. It is designed for iPhone and that is where it is at its best. There is no separate Mac app and no web version.
Is there an Android version?
Not today. SkyDeck is a native iOS app; nothing rules an Android version out later.
