Sep 25, 2019  Historically, Twitter had a Mac app that shared the same roots as our iPhone app. Over the years, Twitter for Mac and Twitter for iOS diverged as Twitter increasingly focused on its mobile apps. Supporting the two separate codebases was no longer a sustainable option and ultimately we sunset the native Mac app.

Find, follow, tweet, retweet, fav, list, and otherwise get your social micro-blogging on with the very best Twitter apps for Mac!

Twitter is great on mobile, but if you're on a desktop or laptop, there's nothing more convenient than a great Twitter app right on your Mac. Sure, you can go to Twitter.com on the web, but lets face it - native is still faster, more persistent, and in many cases, still plain-old better than the browser. If you want a tailored Twitter experience with keyboard shortcuts, multiple columns, multiple simultaneous accounts, and much, much, more, you want a Twitter app. Luckily, there are a bunch available in the Mac App Store. But which one is the best for you? That's where iMore comes in. Here are my favorites!

Tweetbot

Tweetbot by Tapbots is as good a power-user Twitter app on Mac as it is on iOS. It's got Push and Notification Center support, built-in tweet translation, and support not only for multiple accounts, but multiple columns. Want your mentions or lists or even a search all on screen, all at the same time? No problem. Notifications are also completely customizable for each account and tweet type, so you're only bothered by what you care about. If you're running OS X Mavericks or later, you can quick-reply inside Notification banners as well. Tweetbot can also sit in the menu bar for quick access from anywhere.

Sep 05, 2019  Speaking of email, you can change your default email app with ease on your Mac. To do so, open Apple’s Mail app. In the menu bar at the top of the screen, click Mail.

If you want a full feature set, excellent support, and price isn't an issue, Tweetbot wins hands down.

Head for Twitter

Head isn't a Twitter app, but an add-on. It sits on your desktop in the form of a small circular icon that you can move and position where you'd like. Click on it and Head launched a stripped down version of Twitter. That's pretty much it. There are also Head counterparts for other services such as Facebook and Instagram.

If you value simplicity and don't want to spend a lot, Head for Twitter is a decent option.
