The amount of apps being developed for iOS / Android is getting really crazy now and new apps keep popping up every day. Updated list below:

Artemis (iOS, Android, kbin, lemmy): link
Kbam (iOS, kbin, lemmy): link
Memmy (iOS, lemmy): link
Mlem (iOS, lemmy): link
Morpha (iOS, lemmy): link
Thunder (iOS, Android, lemmy): link
Beyond (iOS, Android, kbin, lemmy): link
Jerboa (Android, lemmy): link
Slide (Android, lemmy): link
Sync (Android, lemmy): link
Connect (Android, lemmy): link
Summit (Android, lemmy): link
Lemon (iOS, lemmy): link
Liftoff (iOS, Android, lemmy): link
Boost (Android, lemmy): link
Bean (iOS, Android, lemmy): link
WefWef (Web App, lemmy): link

Most apps on the list are lemmy apps, meaning they don't work with kbin. Artemis is specifically designed to work with kbin, not sure if or when any of the other ones will go in that direction or become interoperable as there are some challenges with the kbin API at the moment. Having said that, a new API is in the works (https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/pulls/357) so things should get better with time.

Some of the apps are in a very early stage of development so it may happen that they adjust OS availability and platform support.

There another potential app, Fedilab - https://fedilab.app/
Not in development (yet) but there's some feature requests to support Lemmy/Kbin:

As excited as I am about the Fediverse and its diversity, this is the real dream. I'm afraid efforts are splintering into too many redundant apps (15 at this point across both platforms) when they could be focused on the one app to rule them all with clean, working interfaces for as many federated applications as possible. With Fedilab already supporting Friendica, Mastodon, Pleroma, Pixelfed, Peertube, and even GNU Social (with plans to support CalcKey), adding Lemmy / Kbin would be a game changer for me and many others. Add Funkwhale and maybe WordPress and it's game over you never need to download any other apps.
