Twitter For Mac Client



What's everyone saying?

Ethan Marcotte

“I couldn’t use Twitter without Twitterrific.”

Twitter is killing its Twitter for Mac desktop client Taylor Hatmaker @tayhatmaker / 2 years On Friday, Twitter announced that it would abandon its lesser-loved Mac app, directing users to Twitter.

  • The Twitter app w/ personality, reimagined for iOS 9 & iPad.
  • Download this app from Microsoft Store for Windows 10, Windows 10 Mobile, Windows 10 Team (Surface Hub), HoloLens. See screenshots, read the latest customer reviews, and compare ratings for Twitter.
  • Twitter's Support team is recommending Mac owners use Twitter.com—not the most useful advice for those who prefer the convenience (and functionality) of a desktop client.

“Twitterrific’s unified timeline matches the way I think about Twitter: a single, chronological stream of tweets, regardless of type. The fact that Twitterrific is also a great Twitter client with all the other features you’d expect—including separate views for mentions, DMs, etc.—is just icing on the cake.”

Michael Lopp

“A daily corner of my desktop feels revitalized.”

“I’ve been an active participant in the Phoenix Kickstarter beta and I’m delighted with the final app. Its elegant features, combined with lot of great UI touches, make Twitter a delight to use on the Mac again.”

Daniel Jalkut

“It's exciting to see the very first Twitter client being rethought in 2017 as the very newest one.”

“I switched immediately. It was like coming home.”

Seth Roby

“Twitterrific makes Twitter simple, fun, and quick. Thank you for bringing it back to the Mac, where I still spend most of my days.”

Seth Roby — @TALlama

“Twitterrific has the potential to make bored users fall in love with Twitter all over again.”

Christine Preusler — HostingAdvice.com

“My favorite Twitter client.”

Robyn Oglesby — MacSources

“Features the same finesse that we’ve seen in Twitterrific for iOS, but at the same time, also leverages all the features offered by macOS.”

Preshit Deorukhkar — Beautiful Pixels

“The Iconfactory has given users a high degree of control over how Twitterrific looks within a clean, easy-to-read design.”

John Voorhees — MacStories

“Packs a ton of features into the new app...fantastic keyboard and accessibility support, delightful sounds, and a few nostalgic Easter eggs from past incarnations.”

Chris De Jabet — Full City Press

“The app delivers a good handful of features Mac users will like.”

Sarah Perez — TechCrunch

“Finally, a modern desktop Twitter client that not only looks amazing and performs, but offers all the features you would expect. So relieved to have Twitterrific resurrected!”
