Twitter for Mac has never received a lot of attention from Twitter. In 2015, the company announced plans to refocus its efforts on building new features into its Mac app after providing only sporadic updates over the last several years. But even after adding new features, the app was largely unpopular with Twitter users, earning only 1 and a half stars out of five in the App Store.

In recent months, Twitter has also been streamlining its apps. The discontinuation of the official Mac app follows Twitter’s decision to remove the Twitter for Apple Watch app last September.
