Today Twitter has that it will be killing its Mac application in favor of a web client. The social media giant tweeted on its platform today that the app has thirty days to live, and that it will no longer be supported beyond that. However, Twitter did not mention whether or not it will still function beyond that. Twitter for Mac has been a laughing-stock in recent times as competitors such as and have taken over on macOS. The app was once popular when it was originally dubbed “” but was purchased out by Twitter later on and that’s when the app went downhill.

For now, the company suggests using the web client on the Mac to get the full experience. The death of the app is not surprising to anyone, though and was pretty much abandoned for several years as macOS was getting its major redesign, bringing it more in line with iOS. But, this may be bigger than Twitter leaving the Mac platform. It could potentially be a sign that Apple’s Mac App Store platform is a failure. Twitter itself is available on the Mac App Store, however, not many large applications are on the App Store aside from Apple’s own applications. The App Store is mostly littered with garbage apps that mimic popular websites. On the other hand, this could also mean that Twitter is working under NDA with Apple to bring its iOS app onto the Mac platform, something that has been in the last few weeks.

The Best Twitter Client for Mac. 6/06/11 1:30pm. While some may not find this to be much of a disadvantage, the official Twitter app is only available via the Mac App. Feb 19, 2018 - It isn't a big surprise that Twitter is giving up on its Mac app. It wasn't the best, and it rarely received updates. It was free, however, and for a lot.

Whatever it may be, Twitter for Mac will be no more in a month, and their recommendation is to use the web client. Users who already use Twitter on a daily basis have already moved on to better third-party applications as I mentioned above. The first-party experience isn’t much better on iOS.

The app is filled with ads, and, either. Are you still using the stock Twitter client on your Mac? Will you be missing it or have you already moved on?

Twitter announced in February that it would its official Mac client, and it will no longer be available to download as of mid-March. The discontinuation may be no love lost for some, however, as the official Twitter client had earned a meager 1.7 stars out of 5 from users on the Mac App Store. Twitter explained its discussion (on Twitter, of course) by saying the company was going to focus its efforts 'on a great Twitter experience that's consistent across platforms.' While Mac users wait to see what they might mean for them, it leaves some wondering what options are available to take the native Mac client's place. Billing itself as a 'seamless Twitter experience,' Twitterrific is a popular alternative choice.

Like Tweetbot, there are no ads, promoted tweets or 'while you were away' updates to sort through. Users can customize fonts and the appearance of media, while also getting support for Mac's Notification Center and using multiple windows for different accounts.
