About This App

Tweetbot is an award-winning third-party Twitter client for macOS that has served as a popular alternative to Twitter's official app since the early days of third-party Mac Twitter clients. It offers multiple accounts, customisable columns, powerful mute filters, and a streamlined interface optimized for power users who spend significant time on Twitter. The app supports both macOS and iOS, with Mac App Store distribution, and has been continuously maintained despite Twitter's restrictions on third-party API access in recent years.</description> <parameter name="recommendation">Tweetbot has shipped a native Apple Silicon (Universal Binary) build since late 2020, so your copy should already be running natively on M-series Macs if you have updated recently from the Mac App Store. If you are running an older version, simply open the Mac App Store and install the latest build — it will automatically be the Universal Binary. The app has continued to receive updates even as Twitter's API restrictions evolved, so keep the app updated to ensure ongoing compatibility with Twitter's current feature set. No action is urgently needed, but checking for the latest version will guarantee you are getting native performance rather than running through Rosetta 2 emulation.

Twitter/X (Web) or Mango 5 AI

Tweetbot 2.5.8 is Intel-only and the developer (Tapbots) has discontinued the app. Twitter's API changes and access restrictions have made it impossible for third-party clients to continue operating as they once did. There is no native Apple Silicon version forthcoming. For Mac users, your best alternatives are: (1) Twitter/X's official web app (x.com), which runs natively in your browser on Apple Silicon and is always up-to-date; (2) Mango 5, a native Apple Silicon Twitter client that focuses on simplicity and timeline browsing; or (3) Twitterrific, another established third-party client with native Apple Silicon support. If you heavily relied on Tweetbot's advanced features, the official web app is your most feature-complete option, though it lacks some of the customization power Tweetbot offered.
