How to Use Bluesky’s Free TweetDeck-Like App for Power Users

During Twitter’s heyday, many avid users turned to the TweetDeck application, which significantly enhanced the platform’s functionality and allowed for a personalized user experience. Its standout feature was the multi-column layout, enabling users to monitor various timelines simultaneously based on diverse topics. Over time, it introduced advanced capabilities such as intricate search options, new types of columns, and a comprehensive Tweet Composer.

It’s no surprise that TweetDeck gained immense popularity among Twitter clients. However, as of 2023, it was rebranded as X Pro and became exclusive to paying X Premium subscribers. In response to this change, Gildásio Filho, a former TweetDeck enthusiast, launched deck.blue, dedicating his efforts full-time since March 2025.

To clarify, deck.blue is specifically designed for Bluesky, an open-source alternative to X that has garnered attention for its commitment to independent development and resistance to extreme ideologies prevalent on many online platforms. While there are various tips for optimizing your Bluesky experience, a third-party client may be an ideal solution for users seeking more extensive options beyond Bluesky’s standard interface.

With deck.blue, power users can effortlessly track lively discussions and emerging trends, as the app continually refreshes columns with the latest content. The configurable multi-column timeline feature truly transforms the user experience.

To get started with deck.blue, simply log in using your Bluesky account. The application is free for up to four accounts, though certain advanced functionalities, like expanded multi-account limits, inline translations, and post scheduling (with varying limits based on your subscription level), require a subscription.

Note from the editor: An earlier version inaccurately described Gildásio Filho as a former TweetDeck developer. We have corrected this and apologize for the mistake.
