While the M1 support won't mean much for those of us running Intel Macs, the improved support for macOS Big Sur will benefit everyone. There's even a new icon that better matches the Big Sur aesthetic, too.
Tweetbot is now a universal app, meaning it will take full advantage of the power offered by Apple silicon on those blazing fast new Macs. Existing users can get the new universal Tweetbot for free from the App Store now, while new users can pick it up for $9.99.
