Nootti vs Mona
Mona delivers the Mastodon reading experience. Nootti posts to Mastodon, Bluesky and Nostr in one tap. Different tools for different moments — and they work well together.
A reader and a publisher — not competitors
Mona is a highly regarded Mastodon client for iOS, known for its refined design and deep Mastodon feature support. Its home is the timeline — reading toots, following threads, managing notifications, and experiencing the full Mastodon social layer. For Mastodon users who care deeply about their reading experience, Mona is an excellent choice.
Nootti does none of that. It opens to a clean composition view. You write, attach media if needed, and publish to every connected account on Bluesky, Mastodon, and Nostr simultaneously. Because the apps address entirely different moments in your day, they are commonly used side-by-side.

The combination that covers your workflow
Mona handles reading and interaction. Nootti handles distribution. A Mastodon user who also maintains a Bluesky or Nostr presence uses Mona to stay connected to their Mastodon community and Nootti to reach all three networks when they have something to share. The iOS Share Extension makes the handoff fast — simply share a link from Mona's browser directly to Nootti for immediate distribution.
