Tweetbot for Mac now comes with Topics

Tweetbot updates its Mac app to add its new Topic feature, which is designed to link related tweets together in a more cohesive and easier way. You can access the feature by tapping on the gear menu in the New Tweet screen. The good thing is your tweets are stored and need iCloud so you can jump from your Mac to your iPhone or iPad to continue tweeting.

Some of the other new features include Collections support, which lets you save tweets linked together in a topic; better quote preview in the compose window; remove play/pause button for video playback and instead have clicking on the video toggle play/pause; as well as a slew of bug fixes. The direct link to the Mac App store shows the other fixes for the app.

WhatsApp outs desktop app for Windows and Mac

Letting you choose whichever platform you want, WhatsApp creates a new desktop app for those who prefer not to use their browsers and instead use a standalone app. The app is available for Windows 8 and higher users as well as Mac OS 10.9 and above. This, of course, syncs with the WhatsApp mobile apps so you can just pick up the conversation where you left off. For the desktop app, you get things like native desktop notification as well as better keyboard shortcuts. You can download it from this link. Once you’re done installing, all you have to do is open the app and scan the QR code using the WhatsApp mobile app and then look for the WhatsApp Web menu under Settings and you’re all set.
