Iconfactory Tapestry
What’s a connector?
Tapestry uses connectors to retrieve the items in your timeline. Each connector is a collection of files that describe a feed and provide instructions on how to load it. They are the part of the app that gathers data.
Connectors are secure and protect your privacy.
Get connected.
If someone creates a connector you want to use, they are easy to download and install.
- Download the connector from the web and save it (for example, on iCloud Drive).
- Open Tapestry settings, and tap Connectors then Add a Connector.
- Find the downloaded file (with the .tapestry extension), then tap to install.
- In the list of connectors, you can tap on the new connector for more info and Create a Feed.

Weave your own.
Connectors are created with standard web technologies: JavaScript and JSON. All of Tapestry’s connectors are open source and easy to adapt for your needs.
You’ll use Tapestry Loom on a Mac to test and debug your connector:
This app loads and displays content just like on iOS, but adds a web inspector that lets you see what’s going on during processing. You can also check configuration parameters, change feed variables, and view item metadata. And since you’re working on a Mac, you have your favorite text editor, version control, and any other tools you might need.
The API used by Tapestry is fully documented on GitHub. We highly recommend taking a look at this short walkthrough for creating your first connector.
Tapestry is a free app with premium features.
