Twitter released this new version of Twitter for Mac back in October, when macOS Catalina came out. ‌macOS Catalina‌ was built using Apple’s Catalyst feature that allows iPad apps to be ported over to the Mac.

Catalyst allowed Twitter to re-release Twitter for Mac, which it had previously discontinued early in 2018. The Twitter for Mac app offers a design and capabilities similar to the iPhone and ‌iPad‌ apps, but with Mac-specific tweaks such as Touch Bar support.
