Bluesky is setting itself up to be a social media jack of all trades. There’s the main experience, of course, which replaces something like X or Threads. But it’s not all about the text posts: Soon, you’ll be able to use an app like Flashes to transform Bluesky into a kind of Instagram. Before that drops, however, you can use a different app to turn Bluesky into TikTok. It’s not quite there yet, but it’s a fascinating look into a unique kind of social media client—an app that turns one platform into something else entirely.

Bluescreen is a Bluesky client with one singular purpose: It identifies the videos from your Bluesky feed and delivers them to you in a TikTok-style endless scrolling interface. You don’t interact with text-based posts, nor do you see still images. It’s as if Bluesky offered a “video only” feed. But, since they don’t, Bluescreen exists.
