Tweetbot was a third-party Twitter client developed for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS created by Tapbots LLC.

Customization of two tabs became available in the application, and updates after the release of iOS 5 added other features such as left and right swiping of a Twitter message to follow individual conversation threads.

Added features include support for inline viewing of Vine video clips as well as options to set a default browser for external links.

On July 1, 2014, Tapbots updated Tweetbot to version 1.6 for Mac, introducing multiple image upload feature and fixed other minor bugs.

The update introduced a new look and Expandable Sidebar, Night Mode, and automatic playback videos and GIF media.

The update features new themes, a new Direct Message Interface, a new San Francisco font, and makes Tweetbot a subscription-based app.

The update introduced the option to see a user's header, bio, how many people they follow/follow them including likes, followers, DMs and more.

[16] On January 19, 2023, the app was discontinued to comply with new Twitter API restrictions that prohibit the creation and availability of third-party clients based around it.
