No ads, promoted tweets or 'while you were away' updates cluttering your chronological timeline. Designed for macOS. Twitter’s latest app is available only on MacBooks and Mac PCs running macOS Catalina because that’s the only OS supporting the Catalyst framework. As for the design and experience, it’s not an exact port of the iPad app but instead, the relaunched Twitter Mac app is closer to the new web UI, which itself is a PWA and helps streamline the. Twitter said on Friday that it’s discontinuing the Twitter for Mac app. The company removed its app from the Mac App Store and will stop supporting the currently-installed app in 30 days. Real Twitter pros tend to lean towards Tweetbot.At £9.99, it's not exactly a throwaway price, although we still don't think that's excessive for a detailed, beautifully designed Mac app like this.
Twitter for Mac app will no longer be available for download on web and Apple’s App Store.
Twitter has announced it is ending support for its dedicated desktop Mac application and that it has pulled it from the web and from Apple's App Store.
'We're focusing our efforts on a great Twitter experience that's consistent across platforms. So, starting today the Twitter for Mac app will no longer be available for download,' @TwitterSupport tweeted late on Friday.
Support for Twitter for Mac will also end in 30 days, the micro-blogging site added. This means that users will have to use the website or services such as Tweetdeck or third-party apps.
The app, before Twitter pulled it, had an average user rating on the Apple App Store of 1.7 out of five.

Twitter Client Mac
That is an accurate approximation of most people's attitude toward the software which has never quite been as robust as third-party clients like Tweetbot or even in-house services like Tweetdeck, according to The Verge.
'Twitter failed time and again to keep its Mac app up to date with the service's latest features -- it took the company more than seven months to bring 'Moments' which launched in October of 2015, to its Mac client,' The Verge report added.

The official Twitter app for Mac is being shut down and will no longer be offered as a download. All support for the Twitter app will be shut down in March. Don’t worry; we have some handy substitutions for you.
New Twitter App For MacTweetbot – $9.99
Regardless of what platform or device you are on, Tweetbot is one of the best Twitter services you can use. There is no algorithm that the app follows, as well as no sponsored apps or tweets. The filtering and mute systems are great for getting rid of the junk you don’t want to see. Tweetbot supports most of the great features Twitter has, like threaded tweets, 280 characters, direct messages, inline images, videos, GIFs, and lists. However, since Twitter doesn’t build APIs, features like polls aren’t supported.

If Tweetbot isn’t your style, then your next best bet would be Twitterrific 5, which was crowdfunded. It’s the same as Tweetbot, except navigation is different and less fluent. If you are looking for an app that is most similar to the Twitter app for Mac, then Twitterrific is the best option.
Tweetdeck – Free
Tweetdeck is officially supported by Twitter which is always a great sign. Tweetdeck started off as it’s own separate company until Twitter took advantage and bought the company in 2011. Tweetdeck takes a unique approach and separates your Twitter and Timeline into separate columns. Tweetdeck is designed for marketing/ pro-Twitter users who are looking for a more significant outreach, but it’s still a great app. Even as a PC user, Tweetdeck is my personal preference as a Twitter platform. We love Tweetbot and most of the team here at KnowTechie uses it.
Site-specific browser – Free
Instead of running Twitter off of the dedicated website, you can use an app to create a site-specific browser. A site-specific browser is a software application that is dedicated to accessing pages from a single source (site) on a computer network. You can download an app like Fluid to create a browser so that Twitter will have it’s own separate dock and window outside of your browser.

You can always go old school and toss away the fancy apps and add-ons. Other social media platforms like Facebook have remained on the web for years and continues to succeed. Twitter tries to drive users to the web platform, and it is usable. Just know that the official Twitter website is ad-driven and runs off an algorithm, so your tweets will not display in real time.
Twitter App Download
I have been on Twitter for over ten years, and I still use Twitter’s official web platform on a daily basis. For work purposes, I use Tweetdeck as I can quickly sort through content and criteria I have selected. I have to be a power-user for work and having an all-in-one app is excellent, but it can get overwhelming at times. Unfortunately, I have yet to find an app that satisfies all of my Twitter needs.
