These Are the Best Replacements for TweetDeck on Mac
As of July 1, TweetDeck for Mac is no longer supported . First released in 2008 by independent developer Ian Dodsworth (and acquired by Twitter in 2011), the app has a loyal following on the Mac. For them, it’s a bite.
TweetDeck was known for its multi-column layout, live tweets, and quick alerts. It was a simple application, but it worked very well. If you’re mourning a loss, try other options.
tweet
You can think of Tweeten as the spiritual successor to TweetDeck. The app is based on TweetDeck and is under active development for a change. TweetDeck users will feel right at home with a custom multi-column layout and powerful notification features.
Like TweetDeck, Tweeten is lightning fast both when updating feeds and when scrolling through them. TweetDeck keyboard shortcuts are also saved, and you have access to features like GIF search, scheduled tweets, and activity tracking. Tweeten is available as an app for Mac and Windows, plus a Chrome extension.
Turn your TweetDeck website into an app
TweetDeck isn’t quite dead yet – Twitter will still run the website. We know, we know; the website is not as fast and functional as the app. In addition, it gets lost among all your browser tabs.
If you don’t like using a website in a browser, you can try turning TweetDeck into a standalone application – there are various ways to do this. Browsers such as Chrome and Edge support this feature (press the Menu button with three dots, choose More > More Tools > Create Shortcut ). You can also use standalone apps like Fluid orUnite .
tweetbot
Tweetbot ($9.99) is one of the best Twitter clients for Mac. It’s well designed, fast, configurable, and has a multi-column layout just like TweetDeck. Move your mouse to the bottom right corner and you will see a blue floating icon. Drag the button to the right and you’ll have a new column that you can customize.
