14 DAY TRIAL // MRR Software has updated Syrinx, the powerful, fully customizable Twitter client specifically designed for Mac OS X. The new release adds faster searching, scrolling and conversation viewing, and a smaller memory footprint, less CPU-intensive, even with thousands of tweets, to name just a few of the many changes available with Syrinx 2.0.
Syrinx is a fully customizable twitter client designed especially for the Mac. Developed by MRR Software, the application is seeing its first public release. Syrinx is all about efficient workflow, but also about customization, featuring bookmarks, searching capabilities, a pause feature, easy keyboard controls, and numerous customization methods (color, sound, functionality).
When new tweets arrive, the bookmarks are colored according to the customizable bookmark color, accompanied by a sound, while the number of bookmarked tweets is badged on the dock icon. Syrinx's searching capabilities allow the user to look for specific tweets, or to see if their name has come up in a certain context. New tweets get pulled down (so you don't miss the new ones coming in), but they won't fly away until you're ready to resume the read.
Besides the two aforementioned additions, the new version of Syrinx brings a redesigned Preferences window, a filter bar for quickly viewing replies and direct messages, the ability to open all links in the background, searching with auto-updating search results, text/username filtering, the ability to save the bookmark between launches, URL Shortening, etc. Additionally, double-clicking the avatar of a user you do not follow will now prompt you to start following them, while cells collapse and expand to make better use of screen real estate Retweet.
As noted above, Syrinx is highly customizable. Besides letting you change your timeline background colors, or your own status background and the bookmark color, it also offers several built-in themes, such as Apple, Dragobah, Hoth, Tatooine, Yavin, and, of course, a Custom theme.
Syrinx is a Softpedia freeware pick.
