APP OVERVIEW

What is Coho and who is it for?

Coho is a Mastodon app built around ease of use and a clean, uncluttered interface. It connects to the open-source, decentralized social network so you can join communities, share posts and follow people without a crowded feed or complicated settings. It suits people who want a straightforward way into Mastodon rather than a dense, feature-heavy client. Shortcuts take you directly to Home, Explore, Notifications, Messages or a new post, and the app can receive content shared from other apps.
