Lander for Reddit
A fast, private Reddit client for iPhone, iPad, iPhone Duo and Mac with Apple silicon. Your session is stored in Keychain, public reads can use the Columbia relay, and you control diagnostics in Settings. No ads. No advertising tracking.
iPhone Duo, iPad and Mac
Wherever there’s room, Home keeps your feed and the open post together. Fold, unfold or rotate, and your place in both stays put.
Unfolded, the feed and the open post meet at the hinge, with the controls in the side bar. Half-folded like a laptop, the discussion sits above the fold. Closed, it’s the iPhone app you know, with optional community shortcuts on the front screen.
Split View for each orientation, a switch on every post, and the open discussion stays put while you browse communities.
The same app runs natively on Mac with Apple silicon, straight from the App Store.
Lander Vision is a separate native edition with columns for navigation and reading — Lander Vision on the App Store.
Themes
Every palette below is pulled straight from the app’s theme engine, contrast-audited against WCAG in the app’s own tests. Pick one and the whole site changes with you, the same way the app does.
Your pick is saved in localStorage, on your device. We never see it.
The stance
Lander stores your session securely, keeps advertising trackers out of the app, and explains the network and diagnostic choices that affect your privacy.
You sign in on Reddit's own page, and your session is stored in Keychain. Your password is not collected by Lander. Optional account routing has a separate gateway trust tradeoff, explained in the privacy policy.
No advertising identifier or browsing-history analytics. Optional crash reports and limited usage events use a random installation identifier. You can turn diagnostics off in Settings.
Columbia is enabled by default for supported public reads and can fall back to a direct connection. Manage it in Settings, or read how routing and operator trust work below.
Columbia
Columbia encrypts public-read requests through a relay to a gateway. The relay sees your address but not the request; the gateway reads the request without receiving your address from the relay. Lander currently operates both services, so this is not a claim of independent operators or protection from all traffic correlation.
Public-read routing is on by default. On iPhone and iPad, you can turn it off in Settings. Reads may fall back to direct access. Signed-in requests normally go direct; the separate iPhone and iPad option “Route my account too” exposes your session credential and request content to the gateway.
What we keep
The main data Lander uses, and the choices you control.
The app
Native SwiftUI for iOS and iPadOS 17 or later and Mac with Apple silicon, with Liquid Glass controls on supported system versions. Fast, gesture-driven, and built for people who actually live in their feed.
From True Black to WCAG AAA High Contrast to the full Catppuccin family, or set your own background, accent and text colors. Switch the whole app in a single tap.
Vote, reply, save, and navigate with gestures that feel physical. Tune the angles and the haptics to your hand.
Threaded color-coded comments that keep your place, scoped universal search, and an on-device thread summary with Apple Intelligence on supported devices.
Messages, chats, replies, and mentions in one inbox, with Live Activities for new messages and unread chats on the app badge.
Images, galleries, GIFs, and video with sound — including imgur albums and Streamable, inline. With Blur NSFW on, sensitive media stays blurred everywhere, from the feed to comment images.
Handle a post or comment without leaving the feed: read reports, approve or remove with a reason, lock, set flair, add mod notes, ban, and check the mod log.
Every feature is free. Optional subscriptions, from Friend at $0.99 a month to Founder at $99.99 a year, keep development going and unlock nothing extra.
Native SwiftUI, tuned for 60fps and a light memory footprint. Accessible by default, not as an afterthought.
A look inside
Free on the App Store for iPhone, iPad and Mac. Private the moment you open it.
