Twitter finally updates Mac app

After Twitter has neglected its Mac app for so long, it’s good to see Twitter has kept good on its word to release a newly redesigned app to match its other desktop client, web, and mobile app counterparts. This new version gets features like inline video, animated GIFs, and Notification Center widget support. The look of the new app also works more with the design aesthetic of Mac OS X Yosemite and El Capitan. The app even has a new dark mode to match the dark theme introduced in Yosemite.

It also now supports group messaging, the ability to mute specific accounts, and it supports new quote style for retweeting. Unfortunately, it doesn’t support Twitter’s new poll feature just yet. Let’s hope Twitter continues to update this app and not just make this a one-off thing.

Any.Do releases standalone app for Mac

If you’ve been looking for a standalone app for Any.Do for OS X, then your wait is over. The app now has a desktop version. It is, however, rather similar to Any.Do’s web app, the difference is you get offline task management, which is important to some. It will also sync with Any.Do apps you use on other platforms. You can still create task lists, share the lists with others, and attach notes. Unfortunately, it doesn’t take advantage of OS X Yosemite features like preview widgets in the notification bar. It would’ve been nice if they took full advantage of the OS.
