Why Bsky Tools?

Hi, I'm Todd Lambert, a professional meme activist on Bluesky.

Like a lot of people, I found shortcomings in Bluesky. I got tired of waiting and started adding the features myself, giving the user the power to control their own experience. One tool became a full set, built for people who post a lot or spend a lot of time on Bluesky.

Every tool here is free. Where there's a Pro tier it's for heavy use, and nothing you need is locked away. Try them out — I hope they help you too. If they do, a donation keeps them going; building these is how I make my living.

Frequently asked questions

Are these tools really free?

Yes. Everything on this page is free to use. A few have an optional Pro tier for heavy or team use, and the games sell cosmetics, but nothing you need is behind a paywall.

How do you make money?

Donations, the optional Pro tiers, and a few cosmetics. No ads, no selling data.

Do you store my Bluesky password?

No. Tools that act on your account use an app password or Bluesky sign-in, and anything they keep for you lives in your own repo wherever that is possible.

Can I request a feature or report a bug?

Please do. Find me on Bluesky at @toddlambert.com, or use the support link inside each tool.

These tools exist because people chip in. Thank you.
