Hey all,

I’ve been working on a native Gemini browser app for iOS and macOS called Rocketeer for a little while now, and I decided to finally release a public alpha for the iOS version.

It’s written entirely from scratch with no dependencies aside from the OS, so it’s very lightweight. The feature set is pretty slim right now, but I wanted to have something out there while I continue working on it. It of course makes Gemini requests and renders text/gemini documents. Rocketeer also registers itself as a gemini:// protocol handler, so links tapped in other apps will open it.

There are a few screenshots here:

And you can try the app by joining the beta through TestFlight:

If anyone has any issues, suggestions, or other feedback, please let me know! You can of course email me at this address, and I’m also on the fediverse as @shadowfacts at social.shadowfacts.net.
