In a post about the return of Twitter for Mac users, the company said: “We are excited that Project Catalyst will enable us to bring Twitter back to the Mac by leveraging our existing iOS codebase. We’ll also be able to add native Mac features on top of our existing iPad experience while keeping our maintenance efficient as we continue to improve this shared codebase in the years to come.” The company previously had a “Twitter for Mac app” that was discontinued in February 2018 because it was not sustainable to maintain two separate codebases. According to the report, the company said that with Project Catalyst, they would be able to use their existing iOS codebase along with new features for desktops. The all-new Twitter for Mac is being developed and is scheduled for an early launch by this year on macOS Catalina 10.15.
