Lander
for Reddit
A free Reddit app for iPhone and iPad. Choose your colors and swipe actions. Read your feed beside the discussion on larger screens.
The app
Follow the thread. Keep your place.
Your communities, discussions, media, and messages share one app. Lander has no ads or advertising trackers.
Comments you can follow
Color-coded threads keep replies easy to follow. Search helps you find posts and communities. On-device summaries need iOS 26 or later and an available Apple Intelligence model.
Inbox and chat
One inbox holds your messages, chats, replies, and mentions. Optional Live Activities and the app badge update while Lander runs. They do not receive background push updates.
Photos and video, full screen
View images, galleries, GIFs, and video with sound, plus supported Imgur albums and Streamable clips. NSFW media starts blurred. Reddit account permissions and your settings control whether you can reveal it.
Moderation beside the post
Moderators can review reports and manage posts, comments, and users from the feed. Available actions depend on your account permissions.
Text and accessibility controls
You can adjust text size and contrast, use VoiceOver, and choose reduced or no animation. Native controls follow your system preferences.
Choose a feed layout
Card gives posts more room. Compact fits more posts on the screen. Coming in 2.3.14, Text Only removes thumbnails for a denser view.
Twenty-two themes, plus your own colors
You can choose a built-in palette or set the background, accent, and text colors yourself. The theme previews below show the built-in colors.

iPad

Your privacy
Know what the app keeps.
Lander has no ads or advertising trackers. You control local history, diagnostics, iCloud sync, and the privacy relay.
Your password stays with Reddit
You sign in on Reddit’s page. Lander stores your session in Keychain so the app can use your account.
You control local history
Lander saves your reading history on this device by default. You can disable Save History in Settings > Privacy or clear your history in Settings.
You control diagnostics
Diagnostics and limited usage events use a random installation identifier. They are on by default. You can disable them in Settings > Privacy.
You choose what syncs
Sync is on by default for preferences, subreddit state, and hidden-post IDs. It needs an available iCloud account and a signed-in Reddit account. You can disable each category in Settings > Account.
Columbia
A privacy relay for public posts.
Columbia routes supported public reads through a relay and a gateway. The relay sees your network address but cannot read your request. The gateway reads the request without your address from the relay.
Encrypted requests. Oblivious HTTP keeps request content hidden from the relay until it reaches the gateway.
One operator today. Lander runs both services. Independent operators that do not share data give stronger protection against traffic correlation.
Source available. The PolyForm Noncommercial license lets you inspect the code and host Columbia yourself for permitted uses.
Columbia is on by default for supported public reads. If the relay cannot serve a request, Lander may connect directly. Columbia does not prevent all traffic correlation.
Account requests normally go directly to Reddit. On iPhone and iPad, the separate “Route my account too” option is off by default. This option sends your session credential and request content to the gateway.
