Description
Apollo is an app for Reddit built for customizability, smoothness, gestures, and taking advantage of everything iOS has to offer. Apollo is a beautiful Reddit app built for fast navigation with an incredibly powerful set of features. Thanks to features like the Jump Bar, fully customizable gestures, and a super-charged Media Viewer, browsing Reddit has never been this amazing. It's created specifically with iOS design guidelines in mind, so it fits right at home on your device, and with input from thousands of Redditors helping sculpt and perfect it over several years before launching:
• Jump Bar, for super-fast hopping between subreddits
• Super-charged Media Viewer for an amazing experience viewing images, GIFs, videos, albums, and more from a variety of sources.
• Tabbed interface for easy navigating
• Incredibly powerful Markdown composer for writing comments and posts
• Full inline Imgur uploading, both images and albums
• Large or compact posts depending on your preference
• Dark mode (can be automatic)
• Fully customizable gestures
• Safari View Controller for browsing articles and links
• Inline previews of media in comments
• 3D Touch support
• Beautifully organized Inbox
• Filtering and blocking
• Face ID / Touch ID / Passcode lock
• Moderator features
• Tons of settings to tweak
• GIF scrubbing to go backward and forward in time
• Multiple accounts
• Powerful search
• Full Markdown rendering
• Unobtrusive Volume Indicator
As well as much, much more and it's constantly evolving. If you have anything you'd specifically like to see, come to the ApolloApp subreddit and we'd love to hear it! Apollo is an unofficial app, and side effects may include an incredible browsing experience.

Release Notes
> [!NOTE]
> Note from maintainer: This project has outgrown what I can sustain as a solo hobby maintainer. Going forward, I plan to keep things running but at a much slower pace, so expect less frequent releases and slower responses from now on.
>
> I think the best path forward for the Apollo sideloading community is for someone (or a group) with the energy and motivation to fork Apollo•ImprovedCustomApi and carry it forward, which I'd fully encourage and support.
>
> I appreciate everyone who's contributed, supported, and used the tweak since v1.0.0 🙏

Features
• Notification Backend support (requires paid Apple Developer account): point Apollo at your own forked self•hosted [apollo•backend](https://github.com/nickclyde/apollo•backend) instance so push registrations, watchers, and inbox checks route there instead of being silently dropped. (Thanks @nickclyde!) (229)
• Configure in Settings > Custom API > Notification Backend with the backend URL and optional registration token. Leave empty to keep current blocking behavior.
• APNs delivery still requires a paid Apple Developer account on the signing side.
• More details in 229 and https://github.com/nickclyde/apollo•backend
• New Reddit API Secret field in Settings > Custom API > API Keys so per•account Reddit credentials can be forwarded to a self•hosted notification backend that performs token refreshes server•side. Usually left empty for installed•app Reddit credentials. (Thanks @nickclyde!)
