![]() It also supports updating to the new HomeKit architecture that Apple has reintroduced after the update was pulled from iOS 16.2.

The public beta comes one day after Apple provided the beta to developers. Let us know what you like or dislike about the new Twitter 2.0 in the comments below.Apple today seeded the first beta of macOS Ventura 13.3 to its public beta testing group, letting the general public test out the features ahead of the software's release. If you're intrigued by the app, by all means get thee to the Mac App Store and install Twitter for Mac immediately. This is done in the app preferences, which are accessed either through the Twitter menu or by clicking the "blackbird" icon at the bottom of the left sidebar. The menu icon can also be set to hide or show the app, and can also be disabled altogether. Clicking that menu bar icon shows where you have unread tweets, and selecting tweets, mentions, or messages from the menu opens that feed in the Twitter app. He's actually blue only when you have unread tweets otherwise, he reverts to being a blackbird. When Twitter is running on your Mac, the familiar bluebird icon appears in your menu bar. Icons for other twitter accounts follow - clicking on them reveals the same icons just described. Command-R brings up a reply window, a simple T retweets (no command key needed), and so on.Īlong the left sidebar of Twitter are (at top) the avatar for your primary account, a "speech balloon" icon that lists tweets (a glowing blue dot appears next to it if there are unread tweets), an "at sign" icon designating mentions of your account, an envelope icon for direct messages, and icons for lists, profiles, and searching. For instance, you can scroll to a specific tweet with the up arrow, press Enter to view the tweeter's feed, and then press Esc to return to the main feed. What's great about this app is that you can use single-key keyboard shortcuts for most actions that you wish to perform, and even use the arrow keys to move up and down through tweets. When looking at the tweets for a user, you can also view mentions of that person, tweets that have been marked as a favorite, or the complete profile.Ĭlicking a particular tweet brings up four somewhat-transparent icons for viewing a conversation, replying, favoriting, or retweeting. To view the timeline of a specific Twitter user, you just single-click on the avatar icon of that user and the chronological listing of tweets is replaced by a listing of all tweets sent by that user. The TUAW feed, for example, scrolled by almost too quickly to read! I stopped that by simply moving the scroll bar down from the top of the tweet list. The app appears to load tweets in real-time, with no apparent lag or timed refreshes. After launching and entering your Twitter user name and password, the app quickly fills up with tweets from the people and companies you follow. The app downloads and installs very quickly, taking up 7.7 MB on your drive. You can disable notifications at any time in your settings menu. Photos do open in another little window created by the app. Perhaps this will be a feature of a future Mac OS X 10.7 version of the app, since the future OS is destined to become more iOS-like. ![]() In the iPad app, that content appears in a sliding pane within the app itself. The user interface is remarkably similar to what you're used to on iPad, with one notable exception - when you click on a link in the Mac app, your default browser is launched to view the content.

Here's how to get Twitter from the App Store. If you have previously used another Twitter client on your Mac, or if you're currently using the eponymous Twitter app on iOS, then you're going to want to at least give Twitter for Mac a try. ![]() This is the app formerly named Tweetie, and it's a free download from the Mac App Store.
