Long time every day user of Tweetie for Mac and the old UI Kit Twitter app It's by no means perfect but Tweetie and Twitter for mac where the only ways using Twitter on the desktop ever felt right for me, apart from some tiny bugs this has everything I want and has solid notifcations which I've been missing for more than two years now. TweetDeck is your personal browser for staying in touch with what’s happening now. The Twitter for Mac app no longer lives in the Mac App Store, though its one and a half star rating lives on in the hearts and minds of its few tenacious users, maybe. Over the years, Twitter has often seen its own official app eclipsed by slicker, more feature-rich third-party clients, which it sometimes buys up. After one year of discontinuing the Mac desktop app feature, Twitter is again introducing it back after establishing Project Catalyst for macOS 10.15 Catalina. This announcement was claimed during the Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference, in which the website said that this project will now be.
On Friday, Twitter announced that it would be shutting down work on its Mac desktop app, to the dismay of, err, no one.
Users have 30 days, starting on Feb. 16, before the app will no longer be supported, Twitter said.

'We're focusing our efforts on a great Twitter experience that's consistent across platforms,' Twitter Support wrote in a tweet. 'So, starting today the Twitter for Mac app will no longer be available for download, and in 30 days will no longer be supported.'
The app hadn't exactly been flourishing in recent years, scoring a dismal 1.7 out of 5 in the App Store. Twitter had outsourced the development of the app to a studio in Seattle called Black Pixel.
Some users had been hoping for a dramatic desktop update since 2015, but most have since migrated to Twitterific or Tweetbot. Others are now expressing concern that Twitter might shut down Tweetdeck, a far more popular multi-column client.
It's unclear what Twitter will do, since the company hasn't always marched in step with its user base.
