ATProto Apps with their own records as of 2025-11-20 - grouped by some general types - Hilary's Leaflet

This is not a comprehensive list but it is pretty thorough. There are at least 10 more I need to dig into and probably add here later today maybe. This does NOT include PDSs, Appviews, and clients. The goal was for it to be a list of apps that have their own records in the PDS.

Are there any atproto apps that use records from competitors? This ecosystem won't feel open to me until @bsky.app uses something from outside the `app.bsky` namespace as part of its core experience

atproto apps

not really exhaustive list, more to store the ones i might have missed

It seems a fork lies ahead, is atproto a portable database for a bunch of apps or a new type of post-app, social filesystem?

mew

the whole point of atproto is Authenticated Transfer, I think at least. For others its just data portability

The vector for new signups of atproto accounts is apps. Adoption is unlikely to come through just one app. A “drive” app would actually make sense and I have some ideas there but I think it will be varied. A lot of different apps can get big - from recipes to events to whatever.

one thing I really like about atproto is that it provides the infrastructure needed to make open source user apps that actually fucking sync data across devices sorry but the average random hobbyist is absolutely not going to run a user account server for their homebrew todo list app

difficult to imagine atproto apps building to significant revenue in a world where you can just clone any given app in an afternoon & still access the backing data

also, I kinda feel like calling the things that consume atproto data "apps" does a disservice to understanding what they are / how they work / what their potential is. But that is a partially-formed hot take I can't fully defend yet.
