It feels just right.Īs on the iPad, Tweetbot on the Mac uses a left-hand navigation bar to offer quick access to your mentions, direct messages, favorites, search, profile, lists, retweets, and mute settings. Sure, you can double-click a tweet (or press the right-arrow key when the tweet is selected) to view the conversation surrounding that message, but if you’re using a trackpad, you can instead use a two-finger swipe to the right, directly over the tweet, to access the same view. Tweetbot’s iOS gestures also make the leap to the Mac. Control+click or right-click anywhere in Tweetbot to reveal useful contextual menus. Right-click on a link within a tweet to compose a post about the link, send it to the read-later service of your choice, open it in your default browser, and so on. Right-click on a tweet to copy a link to it, copy its text, email it, translate it, view it in Favstar, and more. A good example is that the tap-and-hold action in iOS becomes right-click (or Control+click) on the Mac: Right-click on a user’s name or avatar to get options to mute, follow/unfollow, send a private message, manage list membership, or report for spam. The app mostly makes that leap in smart ways. The key question, of course, is how well Tweetbot’s iOS-inspired actions and interface map to the Mac. I love the tap-and-hold shortcuts, the easy navigation, and the tight integration with a slew of services for saving content, posting photos, and more. Before the app came to the Mac, I longed for it, mostly because Tweetbot for iOS shaped how I use Twitter. Which means that for many readers, the question isn’t just whether Tweetbot is good, but whether it’s worth the price.
