Glidespan uses Bluesky App Passwords for authentication (not your main password). To get started: 1) Go to Bluesky Settings → Privacy and Security → App Passwords, 2) Create a new App Password for "Glidespan", 3) Enter your Bluesky handle and the App Password in Glidespan. This keeps your main password secure while giving Glidespan the access it needs.

Click the "+" button in the column bar or use the keyboard shortcut Cmd+Shift+Plus. You can add columns for your timeline, mentions, notifications, DMs, search results, specific feeds, lists, or even individual user profiles. Drag columns to reorder them, and drag the borders to resize.

Glidespan is designed for keyboard-driven workflows. Key shortcuts include: Cmd+N (new post), Cmd+K (search), J/K (navigate posts), L (like), R (reply), T (repost), Q (quote post), B (bookmark), Cmd+1-9 (jump to column). Open the full shortcut reference with Cmd+? or from the Help menu.

Press Cmd+Shift+N or click the thread icon in the composer. You'll see a vertical list of post editors - add as many posts as you need. Drag to reorder, and use the Preview toggle to see exactly how your thread will appear. When ready, click "Post Thread" to publish all posts in sequence.

Multi-account support is available for Pro tier subscribers, who can add and manage up to 5 accounts at any one time within the app. For Free or Standard tier subscribers, you can sign out and sign into a different account at any time via Settings → Account.

Glidespan offers three subscription options: Free, Standard, and Pro. The Free tier includes all core features but limits you to 2 columns and one account. The Standard subscription unlocks unlimited columns. Pro tier subscribers gain access to multi-account support and post scheduling. New users get a 14-day free trial with unlimited columns to experience the full app before deciding.

All locally on your Mac. Drafts, bookmarks, column layouts, and preferences are stored using SwiftData and never leave your device. Your Bluesky credentials are stored in the secure macOS Keychain. We don't have servers - your data stays with you.

While composing, press Escape or close the composer window. Glidespan will ask if you want to save as a draft. You can also explicitly save via the composer menu. Access your drafts from the sidebar to continue editing later.

You can view cached content and compose drafts offline. Posts, likes, and other actions will queue and sync automatically when you're back online. A network indicator shows your current connection status.

Glidespan must be open and online for scheduled posts to publish at the time and date you set. If the app is closed or offline when a post is due, Glidespan will prompt you to review any overdue scheduled posts when you next open the app and connect to the internet, allowing you to decide what action to take.

Open Settings (Cmd+,) and go to the Appearance tab. You can choose Light, Dark, or System appearance, adjust text size, and switch between Comfortable and Compact density. Glidespan respects your macOS appearance settings by default.

Glidespan polls for new content periodically (configurable in Settings). Pull down or press R at the top of a column to refresh manually. A "New posts" indicator appears at the top of columns when new content is available - click it to load without losing your place.

Subscriptions are managed through the Mac App Store. Go to System Settings → Apple ID → Media & Purchases → Subscriptions, find Glidespan, and cancel there. Your subscription continues until the end of the current billing period.
