Aya On Twitter: I Just Backed Twitterrific For Mac
By on in The Iconfactory Releases Twitterrific 5 for Mac (Project Phoenix) When it comes to Twitter, third-party developers have been doing a far better job of building beautiful and feature-rich apps than what the company has managed. For as long as Twitter has had an API, we’ve seen some outstanding apps available for iOS, macOS, and even Android. A majority of my early days on Twitter were spent using Twitterrific — built by the kind folks at. Twitterrific was a phenomenal app back then, giving you a completely different and much better experience when using Twitter. Earlier this year, The Iconfactory announced — A Kickstarter campaign to revive Twitterrific for Mac and bring it up to speed with a modern design along with the current features offered by the platform. With a goal to raise $75,00 in 30 days, the team actually managed to raise $108,346 from 2,852 backers, making the campaign a huge success.
Over the last few months, the designers and developers have been crafting and molding the app for release and today, Twitterrific 5 for Mac is. Twitterrific 5 for Mac 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. It looks absolutely stunning on Retina Displays and includes support for Push Notifications in the Notification Center, built-in sharing, fullscreen mode, etc. It sports a unified timeline, and unlike the crap that the official app throws in your face, you’ll never see likes, follows or promoted tweets from random users.
If you’re a Twitter power user, you can open multiple timelines in separate windows at the same time, either from the same account or multiple accounts. This way, you can keep track of multiple things at the same time on Twitter. Your timeline position is synced across devices using iCloud, even to your iOS devices. Appearance Customization Twitterrific 5 for Mac lets you customize its appearance from its Preferences. You can choose between a Light and Dark theme and further customize these by changing the display font (System Font, Amelia, Avenir, Calluna, Helvetica Neue, Museo Slab, Proxima Nova, Signika, Zosimo, Menlo, and two special fonts — Comic Sans and Papyrus), text size and media thumbnails’ options. Pricing Twitterrific 5 for Mac is priced at and is available on the Mac App Store.
If you’re already settled into Tweetbot for Mac, Twitterrific 5 for Mac probably won’t pull you away just yet. It still has a few important features missing here and there and also locks the polish that Tweetbot currently exhibits.

Of course, Twitterrific is still much better than Twitter’s own official app for Mac, which has been left neglected for several months now. So if you’re still using that junk, you should definitely switch right now!
Twitter says it wants a more consistent experience for its users, which seems like exactly the wrong reason to announce its Mac client app, but that’s exactly what happened. That means who wants a native Mac app for the social network service needs to start looking for a replacement now. We went on the hunt for a modern alternative, and it turns out there are only two choices.
There are loads of Twitter client apps for the Mac, but that doesn’t mean there are lots of choices. We had three three criteria each app had to meet to be considered: 280 character limit support, modern retweet support, and reliable performance on macOS Sierra and High Sierra. Twitter poll support wasn’t on the list because that’s a feature Twitter is holding back for itself. Your choices for a modern Mac Twitter client are Tweetbot (left) and Twitterrific (right) Tweetbot If you’re looking for an client that more closely matches Twitter’s interface from its now deprecated app, Tweetbot is probably the right choice for you. You can log in to multiple accounts, easily see which accounts have activity since your last check, view conversations and direct messages in separate columns, sync timelines with the iOS companion app, filter posts based on words and hashtags, and save searches. Costs US$9.99 on the Mac App Store.
Twitterrific 5 After a multi-year absence on the Mac, Twitterrific is back with version 5. It supports multiple accounts and multiple windows, uses color coding to make it easy to see replies, breaks out chat threads, syncs timelines with the iOS version, shows embedded graphics and movies in pop-out windows, and lets you filter out posts based on words and hashtags. Is regularly priced at $19.99, but is to $7.99 on the Mac App Store. Why not Twitter in Your Browser? There’s no reason why you can’t use Twitter in your favorite web browser.
You get full support for all of Twitter’s features, including polls. Some people just aren’t into using their web browser for everything they do. Others, like me, need to view multiple accounts at the same time. That’s something you can’t do on the Twitter website. The workaround is to use a different browser app for each account, or use —a browser that lets you sandbox tabs into their own browser instance. That’s a fancy way of saying you can log in to multiple Twitter accounts just by opening the site into different tabs.
