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

Memmy (iOS, lemmy): link

Mlem (iOS, lemmy): link

Morpha (iOS, lemmy): link

Thunder (iOS, Android, lemmy): link

Beyond (iOS, Android, kbin, lemmy): link

Limbo (iOS, Android, lemmy): link

Jerboa (Android, lemmy): link

Slide (Android, lemmy): link

Sync (Android, lemmy): link

Unnamed (kbin): link

Connect (Android, lemmy): link

Summit (Android, lemmy): link

Lemmynade (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 very early stage of development so it may happen that they adjust OS availability and platform support.

I’m not as savvy with the technical… How do you even make an app without API? I thought it’s the thing that connects the stuff?

It's not pretty, but you can simply download the web pages and parse the HTML instead (this is called scraping).
The main downside is that it breaks easily for even smaller changes in the HTML, so if kbin is updated, the apps may need an update to start working fully again.
