It supports a number of useful features like no ads, sync to the iPhone version, a chronological timeline, and a ton of customization options for the user interface.Ī unique feature that Twitterrific for the Mac offers that no other client I’ve seen include is a unified timeline. Version 5 of Twitterrific for Mac is really well done.

I can remember using the Mac app from my first days on Twitter back in 2007/2008.

TweetDeck is a free app on the Mac App Store. It used to have significant crashing problems, but Twitter seems to have gotten that under control. It feels like a web app wrapped in a native wrapper. Other than being free, there is no way I can consider it to be the best Twitter app for the Mac, though. It has a number of handy features for managing multiple accounts, can use group direct messages (third-party apps cannot), can schedule tweets, and can monitor trends.ĭoes TweetDeck feel like it takes advantage of everything macOS has to offer?

TweetDeck is really aimed at people who use social media for a living.

This week, I want to look at the best Twitter app for Mac. It’s really one of those “what’s best for you” situations. The great thing about the ecosystem (it’s hanging on by a thread) is that both third-party and first-party options work for people. People who are fine with the official Twitter app (based on how they use Twitter) should stick with it. People who like third-party apps often prefer them for reasons that do make sense. It was interesting to read the replies I got on Twitter from people who felt strongly one way or another about third-party apps or using the official Twitter one. The all-new Twitter for Mac is being developed and is scheduled for an early launch by this year on macOS Catalina 10.15.A few weeks ago, I took a look at the best Twitter apps for iPhone. The company previously had a "Twitter for Mac app" that was discontinued in February 2018 because it was not sustainable to maintain two separate codebases.Īccording to the report, the company said that with Project Catalyst, they would be able to use their existing iOS codebase along with new features for desktops. We'll also be able to add native Mac features on top of our existing iPad experience, while keeping our maintenance efficient as we continue to improve this shared codebase in the years to come." In a post about the return of Twitter for Mac users, the company said: "We are excited that Project Catalyst will enable us to bring Twitter back to the Mac by leveraging our existing iOS codebase. Twitter made the announcement during Apple's WWDC conference last week, saying that the app would launch with Catalina and this new version would have a variety of features like dark mode, keyboard shortcuts, multiple windows, and notifications, The Verge reported late on Saturday. Micro-blogging site Twitter has announced that it will be bringing back "Twitter to Mac" with help from Apple's Project Catalyst, Pro, which is Apple's initiative to help developers port their iOS apps into Mac.
