Built on Material 3 Expressive
Features
Three things to love.
Everything in Nubecita is built around three convictions: feeds should be readable, posting should be fast, notifications should be optional.
02 — Posting
Composer that gets out of your way.
Spring-driven sheets, tactile pill buttons, smart drafts. The whole point of M3 Expressive — minus the corporate vibe.
03 — Quiet
Notifications you can live with.
Grouped, throttled, and finally calm. Mute keywords, turn off pings, keep only the people you actually want to hear from.
Adaptive
One app. Every Android.
Compact phone, dual-pane tablet, three-pane foldable. Nubecita reflows to fill whatever screen you've got — and remembers your context when you switch.
- check Compose without losing the feed you were reading
- check Pin a thread on the second pane
- check Fold-aware: hinge stays at column gutters

Quiet up here.
Just the sky and the people you actually want to read.

FAQ
Quick questions.
Is Nubecita free?
Yes. Free forever, no ads, no premium tier. The app is open source under the AGPL — fork it, audit it, run your own build.
Do I need a Bluesky account?
Yes — Nubecita is a client for the AT Protocol network. Sign up at bsky.app or use any AT Proto handle. We never see your password; auth happens directly with your PDS.
Why Android only?
We want to do one platform really, really well. Android — including tablets and foldables — is genuinely under-served by social clients. iOS may follow. The web client is here on this page.
What's special about Material 3 Expressive?
It's Google's May 2025 evolution of Material You — saturated tonal palettes, shape-morphing buttons, spring-based motion, and a bigger emphasis on type. We took the mechanics and added our own brand on top.
Does it work offline?
Yes — your feed, threads you've opened, and drafts persist offline. Posts queue and send when you reconnect.
How do you make money?
We don't. Nubecita is an open-source side project — one developer, evenings and weekends. If you'd like to support it, star the repo or send a PR. If costs ever force the issue, we'd consider optional cosmetic extras — but the app itself stays free.
