TiebaPure-iOS

Project Overview

TiebaPure-iOS is a third-party Baidu Tieba client built natively with SwiftUI for iOS 16.4 and later. You can browse home recommendations, forums, thread lists, and thread details without logging in; after login you get messages, follows, favorites synced with the official client, check-ins, and likes. The app offers keyword blocking, browsing history, iPad split layout, and deep links. Releases provide unsigned IPAs that must be re-signed with your own certificate before installation.
