Vesper

Posting to other services Pro experimental ​

You can send an entry to Threads, Bluesky or a Telegram channel with one click. Posting to X is paused for now.

The post carries the entry's text, up to four photos and its tags as hashtags. A long entry is shortened to fit; the hashtags are kept. Each entry can go to each service once, and afterwards a mark under the entry links to the post and shows when it went out.

Posting copies the entry out of your encrypted workspace onto that service, where it is public.

Connect an account ​

All connections live in Settings → Connections.

Threads ​

Choose Connect and sign in to Threads. Vesper renews the sign-in by itself.

Bluesky ​

Bluesky uses an app password, not your main password:

  1. In Bluesky, open Settings → Privacy and security → App passwords and create one.
  2. In Vesper, enter your handle (like name.bsky.social) and the app password.

You can revoke the app password on Bluesky at any time.

Telegram ​

Telegram posts to a channel. There are two ways to connect.

As your own account (the default). Posts appear as you.

  1. Go to my.telegram.org, open API development tools and create an app to get an API ID and API hash.
  2. In Vesper, enter them with the channel's username and your phone number, then sign in with the code Telegram sends.
  3. Your account must be allowed to post in the channel.

The post is sent from your browser. The Telegram session is stored encrypted in your workspace like your entries.

As a bot, if you would rather not connect your account:

  1. Message @BotFather with /newbot and copy the token it gives you.
  2. Add the bot to your channel as an admin that can post messages.
  3. Enter the bot token and the channel's username (the part after @).

Post an entry ​

Click a platform icon next to the entry's date. The icons show only for services you have connected.

Photo sizes ​

Each service has a size limit: about 1 MB for Bluesky, 8 MB for Threads and 10 MB for Telegram. A photo over the limit is sent as the smaller copy Vesper keeps for the timeline. Threads takes only JPEG and PNG, so other formats go as that copy too.
