Tweetbot falls victim to Twitter's incoming developer changes
We've known for a long time that Twitter's third-party apps would bear the brunt of the platform's API revamp, and even though those changes aren't due to come into effect until tomorrow, they're already causing trouble. Today's update to Tweetbot for iOS has hastened many of the issues developer Tapbots previously feared. Automatic timeline refreshing is now disabled, so no more real-time updates. Its Apple Watch app is gone, and push notifications for mentions and DMs will be delayed by one or two minutes, while push notifications for likes, follows and quotes has disappeared completely.
Twitter delays the shutdown of legacy notification APIs until August
Last year, Twitter announced that it would be replacing its Site Streams, User Streams and Direct Message endpoints with its new Account Activity API -- a move that some noted would impact features like push notifications and automatic refresh in third-party apps like Tweetbot, Twitterrific, Talon and Tweetings. Initially, those legacy services were scheduled to be retired in June, but due to outcry over a lack of necessary migration time, Twitter decided to delay the deprecation date. Today, Twitter announced that the Account Activity API is now available to all developers and the legacy services will be retired on August 16th.
Tweetbot 3 carries the torch for Twitter users on Mac
Twitter hasn't exactly been kind to Mac users, dropping its main app and leaving TweetDeck to languish, but that doesn't mean you're without modern options. Tapbots has released Tweetbot 3 for Mac with several improvements that both keep up with Twitter's latest developments and providing a decided advantage over the web version. You now have advanced filters your timeline (say, including a vital topic or excluding an annoying trend), and videos will auto-play when previews are turned on, much as they are with Twitter itself.
Tweetbot makes it easier to go on Twitter rants
Tweetbot 4 brought some much needed features to the third-party Twitter client, such as a Stats and Activity Tab plus a revamped iPad app. Now there's a new version that'll be sure to please those who love to post a whole bunch of tweets in a row. Usually on Twitter you have to either use a hashtag or manually reply to yourself if you want related tweets to appear in a single chronological thread. The latest Tweetbot 4, however, has introduced a new feature called Topics, which lets you group together those tweets way, way easier.
Twitter for Mac is finally updated
Ahead of its own deadline of the end of 2015, Twitter has updated its OS X app. The Mac version of the social network has languished for years while mobile apps and the site have received multiple updates. The new and improved version of the app brings features like inline GIF and video support, group DMs, a dark theme, tweet quotes and an updated design. What it's missing is the recently added poll feature.

Tweetbot 4 for iOS brings redesigned universal app to iPads
The latest Tweetbot update for iOS might be a massive update for the whole platform, but it's iPad users who'll benefit the most from the changes. Since it's introducing a universal app for all iOS devices, iPad owners will finally be able to enjoy the interface that's long been available for the iPhone, along with a split-view multitasking mode. The updated app now also has a stats and activity tab where you can see the users who followed you and retweeted or favorited your tweets. Its redesigned profile page displays recent tweets, and it gives you the option to reply to each tweet right on the notifications panel. In addition, it comes with a new column view and landscape support for Apple's phones and tablets. Tweebot 4 is now out on iTunes at 50 percent off ($4.99) its regular price ($9.99) for a limited time, though it's unclear how long the promo will last.
Tweetbot now does justice to Twitter on your iPhone 6
Tweetbot 3 for iOS is frequently regarded as one of the better mobile Twitter apps, no matter the platform -- it's full of shortcuts and visual flair that most clients (including Twitter's own) sorely lack. It has been lagging on support for Apple's latest developments, however, which makes today's version 3.5 update pretty important. The interface now scales properly on the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, giving you much more screen real estate when you're browsing tweets. There are also a few noteworthy upgrades that apply to everyone, including interactive notifications, sharing sheets and support for fetching your login from 1Password. It'll cost you $5 to get the new release if you don't already use Tweetbot, but it might well be worth the outlay if the free Twitter apps aren't quite cutting it.
These are a few of my favorite things - 2013 Edition
As 2013 comes to an end, here are a list of my favorite Mac apps that I used over the past year. Now there are a few important things to remember: you'll notice that many of these are not "new" apps because, well, I don't care when the apps were made nearly as much as I care if they're good and I find them useful. Instead, this is a list of the apps that I used or enjoyed the most in 2013, and expect to keep using in the future. All prices listed are in US Dollars, rounded off to the nearest whole dollar (because we all know that 99¢ is just a marketing way of saying $1, right?). If there is no price listed, then the app/utility is free, although most gratefully accept donations. Favorite New App of 2013 Bartender ($15) is the app I never knew I wanted until it existed, and now I never want to use a Mac without it installed. Bartender lets you hide apps on your menu bar, as well as organize the ones you want to remain visible. You can even use it to hide built-in OS X menu bar icons such as Notification Center and Spotlight. I even use Bartender on my Dell UltraSharp 29" Ultrawide monitor which is essentially one monitor as wide as two monitors. Favorite App of 2013 Keyboard Maestro ($36) is my favorite "non-new" app of 2013. Version 6 came out in 2013 and the app is continually improved. The more I learn about Keyboard Maestro, the more I'm impressed with it. I have written about it a lot and posted several macros on Github. I've even done some one-on-one consulting and training. Even after all that, I'm still learning new tricks that it can do. (Peter Lewis, Keyboard Maestro's developer, commented that he's still impressed to see what users come up with to do with his own app!) Keyboard Maestro's cost may seem high in a world where software is often reduced to "fart-app pricing" but it does the work of several apps. It can launch applications, move and click the mouse, execute scripts, insert (static or dynamic/variable) text, manipulate windows, control menus, create/move/copy/rename/delete/trash files, control iTunes, capture images, control iTunes, send notifications, and more. Keyboard Maestro comes with a 30-day trial which is enough time to overcome the initial learning curve and start making it work for you. The developer is very responsive to questions and support requests, and there many others using Keyboard Maestro too, so you're likely to find more tips in the year ahead if you read their sites too. More Automation on the Mac Keyboard Maestro is only the tip of the automation iceberg. TextExpander ($35) and Hazel ($28) both continued to be essential tools in 2013. In case you're not familiar with them: TextExpander inserts text (or images, or runs scripts) on demand when you type a shortcut, and Hazel automatically responds to changes in files and folders. TextExpander is great if you find yourself needing to re-type the same thing over and over. I use it to insert frequently referred-to links, create templates for shell scripts or MultiMarkdown documents, and mail signatures. You can even "nest" snippets within other snippets. A Mac without TextExpander feels broken. Hazel can do so many things I don't know where to start, but here's one set of recipes I use more than any other. All of these are actions taken on files added to my ~/Downloads/ folder: If there is a new archived file (.zip, .tar.gz, etc) then unarchive it and store the original file in ~/Downloads/Archives/ (in case I want to copy it to another Mac). If a new .app file is found, move it to /Applications/ and replace any older version If a new text file is found (.txt, .md, .mmd, etc) is found, move it to ~/Dropbox/txt/ If another kind of document (.pdf, .docx, etc) is found, move it to ~/Dropbox/Documents/ If an image is found, move it to ~/Dropbox/Photos/ (where another Hazel rule then sorts them by date) There are lots of other possibilities, those are just a few to get you started. Hazel is one of those tools that works in the background doing tedious things so you don't have to. It will even keep your Trash from getting taking up space with old files or oversized files. Read more at TUAW All Hazel articles All TextExpander articles Most Taken-For-Granted App I Couldn't Live Without Dropbox. Good lord, I don't even want to think about using a Mac without Dropbox. Unless you have been literally living in a cave, you must have heard about Dropbox by now, right? If so, here's a summary: it's a magic folder which syncs to all of your computers (Mac, Windows, even Linux) which you can access on your iOS devices, and even on their website (unlike iCloud documents). It is supported by tons of iOS devices which use it for document sharing and more. You get 2 GB for free, and up to 500 GB for $500/year. All accounts come with 30 days of versioning so you can go back to previous versions of documents. Other Dropbox articles to check out: Get an extra 1 GB of Dropbox storage by syncing it to Mailbox Keep Dropbox.app up-to-date when the magic fails Finding Dropbox 'conflicted copy' files automatically All Dropbox articles on TUAW This Is Getting Really Long, I'm Going to Have to Summarize a Few of These: Sorry for the bulleted list. These are great apps, but they are either better-known or more easily explained (I hope!). This was the year I switched to Alfred ($0 for most features, $28 for "Powerpack" extensions, or a little over $50 for lifetime updates) from LaunchBar ($35). LaunchBar is still a great app, I just wanted to be able to use some of the workflow features in Alfred. Alfred, LaunchBar, and Keyboard Maestro all have clipboard functionality built-in, but if you want an app just for saving multiple clipboards, get Flycut. Even has Dropbox sync. MailMate ($50) definitely deserves its own review, and I suspect I'll be using it even more in 2014, but 2013 saw me start to move away from Gmail, especially Gmail.com which was redesigned but did not get better. If you use email, you owe it to yourself to checkout MailMate. OmniDiskSweeper ($0) remains my go-to app for finding out what is using all of my hard drive space. I'm still using version 1 of Skitch ($0) whenever I need to quickly take a screenshot then annotate and/or share it. Skitch version 2 has gotten better since its initial atrocious release but "saving" a Skitch in version 2 goes to Evernote instead of just staying locally, and I have no desire, need, or interest in saving Skitch to Evernote. Soulver ($12) is the first 'calculator' that I have really enjoyed using. I've never been great at math, I can't do a lot of calculations in my head. Using a regular calculator always left me frustrated, and half the time I wasn't sure that I had done the calculations properly. With Soulver, I understand regular real-life math a lot better than I ever have. That isn't to say that it doesn't have a lot of powerful options which are useful to people who are good at math. It does. But if you've never struggled with math, you can't understand what it means to have something like this. The word "empowering" has been overused to the extreme, but here it fits, at least for me. I bought the separate iPad and iPhone versions without hesitation or complaint, but I am glad to see that Soulver for iOS is now a universal app (currently on sale for $2). Need to turn a bunch of CDs or audio files into an audiobook? Audiobook Builder ($5). It will not only 'chapterize' it for you, it will also let you easily add cover art using any image file. Want to make sure your Mac doesn't turn itself off for a certain amount of time? Try Caffeine. GIF Brewery ($5) easily takes a video clip and turns it into a GIF. Use your Mac's keyboard for any iOS device (or any other Bluetooth capable device, including another Mac) using Type2Phone ($5). Growl ($4) still does a few tricks that OS X's notifications don't. Use PCKeyboardHack and KeyRemap4MacBook to make a hyper key. If you want to edit, create, or learn about launchd, get LaunchControl ($10, free unlimited demo). Hugely useful. Need to cut up an audio file, maybe to make an iPhone ringtone, or maybe just to trim it for some other reason? Fission - Fast & Lossless Audio Editing. I still haven't learned git but thanks to GitHub for Mac I've been able to fake my way along. If you use a calendar, get Fantastical ($10) for quick "natural language" entry menu bar access, and get BusyCal ($50, 30-day trial) for a better Mac calendar. Print from iOS to your Mac with Printopia ($20). You can save the file as a PDFs (or JPG or PNG if that's what the file was originally), or send them to any printer connected to your Mac. Default Folder X ($35, 30-day trial) lets you quickly jump to favorite folders, or assign specific folders as the 'default' for certain apps. This is another one of those tools that: a) feels like it should be built-in to OS X, b) when I use a Mac without this installed, it feels broken. Trying to monitor your Mac's bandwidth usage and prevent apps from covertly connecting to the Internet? Little Snitch ($35) is the tattletale little brother than those apps wish had never been born. SlimBatteryMonitor is a better battery monitor that OS X's own; MagiCal lets you easily create a menu bar clock that shows the time and/or date exactly as you want it; FreeSpace Tab shows available hard drive space in the menu bar; and I've stopped using all three in favor of iStat Menus ($16, 14-day trial) which also knocked OS X's Activity Monitor off my Dock. Of course I use VLC for most of my video-watching, including Blu-Ray discs thanks to MakeMKV ($0 for some features, $50 for Blu-Ray features, although they are free during beta see here for more info which is also what I use for ripping Blu-Ray and DVDs, almost exclusively via Batch Rip Actions for Automator which are capital-A Awesome if you are ripping lots of DVD/Blu-Ray discs. When I'm done I clean everything up using Name Mangler to get the filenames right and then I can watch my collection in the Plex Media Server. Last but not least I use Mountain ($2) to mount and unmount drives from the menu bar, Flashmount (see previous coverage) to quickly mount DMGs. and DiskWarrior ($100) to check and repair my disks. (By the way, DiskWarrior might be the most expensive piece of software on this list, but it's worth every penny. Get it to help fix little problems before they become big problems.) Looking Ahead Wow. That's a lot of great software. Here are a few apps that I'm keeping an eye on because I suspect they will be on next year's list: Shortcat (currently $16 during beta, planned $24 after): "Keep your hands on the keyboard and boost your productivity! Shortcat is a keyboard tool for Mac OS X that lets you "click" buttons and control your apps with a few keystrokes. Think of it as Spotlight for the user interface." let.ter ($4): "The tiny Markdown powered app just for writing emails." I've been using a send-only email app for 2.5 years now, but I like what I see so far in Letter. Recently released and still lacking some essential features such as multiple account support (which is planned for the nearish future), but I bet this eventually replaces what I've been using. Vellum is the new app that I'm most excited about. Anyone who has tried to make ebooks knows that it's a pain because each device has its own... "quirks." Serenity Caldwell likens making ebooks today to making websites in the late '90s when web standards didn't really exist or weren't implemented by the companies that made web browsers. Vellum bills itself as the tool to help you overcome the madness by letting you import a .docx file and export properly formatted books for iBooks, Kindle, and Nook. This is the next app on my "to test" list and I can't wait.
Tweetbot for Mac updates to 1.4, but doesn't gain slick interface the iOS version has
If you're hoping the updated version of Tweetbot for Mac will include the interface overhaul that recently graced its iOS sibling, you'll be disappointed. There are several items in the 1.4 build of Tweetbot that will be useful to OS X Mavericks users, however. There's smoother scrolling and the ability to reply to tweets and direct messages from the app's notifications. Tweetbot now will correctly recognize computers being on WiFi when location services are turned on. Other fixes include squashing various bugs involved with using secondary windows, timeline searches and more. But I was hoping to see Tweetbot get updated to the slicker interface that's now in Tweetbot 3 on the iPhone. Developers most likely will port that out to the iPad before overhauling the Mac version. I am curious to see how Tapbots will handle such a major upgrade for the Mac client. With major versions of the iOS apps, users have been asked to purchase the upgrades to 2.0 and now 3.0. But with a US$19.99 price point for the Mac, I find it hard to believe that users would swallow that price tag twice. Would you pay another $20 for Tweetbot 2 on the Mac? Let us know in the comments.
Tweetbot 3.1 for iPhone brings back classic features, adds quick actions
When Tapbots released Tweetbot 3 for the iPhone last month, it took two steps forward and one step back -- a slew of older features didn't make the cut. The developer is quickly making amends with its 3.1 update, however. The refreshed Twitter app restores the option to set list as the active timeline, as well as OS-independent text size controls. There's also something truly new -- a quick action shortcut lets power users trigger definable tasks with a shorter-than-usual swipe. While there's still no corresponding iPad update, iPhone- and iPod-toting socialites can grab 3.1 now from the source link.
Tweetbot 3.1 released, missing features return
Back in October, popular Twitter iOS client Tweetbot got a major makeover with version 3.0. However, not all fans of the app were happy, as some of the features of the previous versions had been cut out. With the release of Tweetbot 3.1 today, many of those missing features have made it back into the app -- as the developer said they would. Here's a rundown of all that is back (and what's new, too): What's New in Version 3.1 - Using a list as your timeline is back (hold down on "Timeline" title to reveal the menu) - Right swipe to quick reply (short swipe and release for custom action) - Resize text within the app (Settings > Display) - Option to set square avatars and hide timeline badges (Settings > Display) - Email conversations or share via Storify - "Last tweet x minutes ago" is back in the profiles (under recent images) - Removed "Retweeted by" string so there's less chance of truncation - Lots of bug fixes Tweetbot developer Paul Haddad also tweeted today that Night Mode will be coming to Tweetbot in the near future. Tweetbot 3.1 is on sale for US$2.99.

Tweetbot 3 for iOS 7 arrives, but it's not a free update
There's cause for celebration for Twitter power users who keep Tweetbot near and dear to their hearts. Tweetbot 3, the iOS 7-optimized update of arguably the most powerful Twitter client available on iPhone and iPad, has been released. But this is no free update. No, Tweetbot 3 is a new product, and that means buying the app again. Developer Tapbot is aware this may put off some previous Tweetbot fans, so the app is currently on sale for US$2.99. Eventually that price will jump up to $4.99, so act now and look forward to these new features. ◆ Completely redesigned from the ground up for iOS7. ◆ Native Push Notifications. ◆ Mute filters let you block messages from users without unfollowing them. Mute services, hashtags, people and even keywords (regex included). ◆ Sync timeline position, direct message read statuses and mute filters between iPhone, iPad and the Mac via iCloud or Tweetmarker. ◆ Customizable Navigation. The last two tabs are customizable and unused tabs are easily accessible. ◆ Support for multiple services like Pocket, Instapaper, Readability, CloudApp, Droplr and more. ◆ Save drafts, add locations and POI's, attach photos/videos, manage your lists and much more. You can watch a video preview of the new app design below. Many users are noting some features have been removed, like being able to triple-tap to reply to a tweet, so let us know in the comments which features you find missing. Tweetbot 3 for iPhone from Tapbots on Vimeo.
Tweetbot 3 for iPhone has a new look, feel and pricetag
If you're a Twitter user and you own an iPhone, chances are you'll have come across Tweetbot, the popular Twitter client from Tapbots. Following Apple's iOS 7 announcement back in June, the two-man team has been hard at work rewriting the app to utilize the new features and fit with the cleaner look of Apple's latest OS. Just over a month after iOS 7 launched, the app is finally ready: Tweetbot 3.0 is available for $2.99 on the App Store.
Quickly add new Tweetbot mute keyword using Keyboard Maestro
I love me some Twitter, but I find that some days the internet is talking about something I just don't care about. That's where "mute filters"' come in. Tweetbot lets you mute words or phrases and will hide subsequent tweets that match your filter. The problem is that adding a new "mute keyword" to Tweetbot requires way too many steps. Switch to the "Mutes" tab Click "Edit" Click "+" Click "Mute Keyword" Click inside the Keyword field because, for some frustrating reason, Tweetbot doesn't put the cursor there automatically. Click "Save" Click "Done" Go back to the main timeline Eight is way more than enough, it's about seven too many. Here's what I want: Press a key combination, type a word / phrase, press enter. Boom. Done. Wait! Too many, annoying, repetitive steps!? Automate it! As I've said repeatedly, once you get into the "automation mindset" you'll start to find uses for it all over the place. This is yet another example. Keyboard Maestro is one of my favorite tools for this on the Mac, specifically because it can do so many of these things, and making a new macro is easy. However, since this does not need to be a "global" macro (that is, it doesn't need to work anywhere, anytime, it just needs to work when I'm using Tweetbot) my first step was to make a new "group" in Keyboard Maestro by choosing the "File » New Macro Group" menu. I named it "Tweetbot" because I am wildly creative. Then I told Keyboard Maestro that any macros in this new group should only be available in one application. The red arrows in the image below point to the Macro Group and the setting to show that it is only active in Tweetbot, and the yellow arrows point to the list of macros in that group. Right now there is only one, but if I ever want to make any more that are only for Tweetbot, I just have to drag them into that folder. This is important because it allows me to define a keyboard shortcut in Keyboard Maestro which will only be used when I am in Tweetbot. Now I don't have to worry about it being accidentally triggered in other applications. I chose ⌘ + = because it seems like a good "Add" shortcut, and it was not already in use in Tweetbot. Now let's make the macro Here are the steps the macro will take once I press ⌘ + =: Prompt user for word/phrase to add to Tweetbot mute filter. (See "Screenshot #1" below.) Select the "Mutes" item from the "Window" menu Click the "Edit" button Click the mouse on the "+" button (see the red arrow on "Screenshot #2" image below) Press "Enter" to select 'Mute Keyword (see the blue arrow on "Screenshot #2" image below) Press Tab twice to get into the proper field to add the keyword(s) to be filtered Paste the text that the user entered (see Important Note below) Click "Save" button Click "Done" button Pause for 1.5 seconds to that I can see the new filter has been created Go back to my Timeline (which is probably where I was reading when I decided I needed to mute something Screenshots Keyboard Maestro comes with an item to "prompt user for input" and allows you to easily customize it. Here's what mine looks like: Screenshot #1 Note that this is the very first step in the macro. I could have scripted this differently. For example, I could have created a macro that did the first six steps and then waited for me to enter the mute keyword(s) and then continued. I chose not to do that for several reasons: By prompting the user for input immediately, we give the user a chance to cancel the macro, in case s/he triggered it accidentally or changed his/her mind about it. The user will not have any delay between triggering the macro and being asked for input, so there's less of a chance for them to forget what it was they wanted to mute. The user will still be looking at whatever screen they were at when they decided to add to the mute keyword(s) list. This is particularly helpful if I need to verify the spelling of something. The only "tricky" part is this: Screenshot #2 The "Done" button on the top-right corner changed from "Edit" after we clicked that button. I tried telling Keyboard Maestro to click the "+" button, but that did not seem to work reliably, so instead I told it to click at a certain number of pixels relative to the top-left corner if the front window. (You can calculate the pixel count using xScope or by trial and error.) Once the "+" button has been clicked (red arrow) and then we need to select "Mute Keyword" (blue arrow). The good news is that once we have done the mouse click on the "+" button, the "Mute Keyword" entry will be highlighted, so all we need to do is simulate pressing the Enter key after the "+" button has been pressed. Important Note When you mute a keyword, Tweetbot will let you 1) mute mentions, and 2) set how long you want the mute to be active (one day, one week, one month, forever). I do not adjust these settings in this macro, which (at least for me) appears to mean that mentions will not be muted and that the filter will be in place forever, which is what I want. I'm not sure if Tweetbot changes those settings based on your previous settings or not. If you want something different, you can change those settings using Keyboard Maestro too. Doing so is left as an exercise to the reader. Why Tweetbot? I've always been a big fan of Twitterrific but it doesn't have muting on the desktop yet, so I'm using Tweetbot, which is quite nice. You should be able to adapt this process to any Twitter client. One thing I really like about Tweetbot is that these filters sync between the Mac and iOS client, so you don't have to maintain multiple filter lists. Download my macro If you'd like to download my Keyboard Maestro macro you can find it on Github.
Tweetbot 1.3 for Mac adds media timeline, support for cover images
Tapbots' Tweetbot for Mac already has a reputation as the desktop Twitter client for media hounds, but a just-posted 1.3 update should make that especially clear. Like its iOS counterpart, the Mac app gains a dedicated media timeline: start a search and you can spotlight only photos and videos. There are a few perks for the vain among us, too. Tweetbot now supports profile cover images, and a redesigned tweet layout shows the counts for those inevitable favorites and retweets. So long as $20 isn't too much to pay for a dedicated social networking tool, 1.3's greater media savviness is waiting at the Mac App Store.
Tweetbot iOS app update brings new media timeline, redesigned image viewer
Twitter client Tweetbot showed its support for Flickr and Vine in the last update to its iOS apps, and making media easier to consume is again a focal point in newly released version 2.8. Debuting with the update is the "media timeline" -- a feed option which'll only shows tweets that include pictures or video. Also, the in-app image viewer has been treated to a full redesign and among the obligatory bug fixes, issues plaguing Instagram previews have been addressed. The update isn't all about pics and clips, though, as the tweet detail view has now been amended so it shows favorite and retweet figures. If you haven't yet received the update, you know where to go. Alternatively, if you don't use the client but like the idea of putting eye-candy in the spotlight, then Tweetbot can be had for $2.99 from the App Store.
