Update: A couple months ago, our previous favorite Twitter client for Windows, TweetDeck, was discontinued.

Weve updated our pick below with a new Windows app.

If any of those things matter to you, Aeries is an obvious pick.

Unlike TweetDeck, the column grouping makes a little more sense.

Rather than having one whole column for each list, for example, you have a Lists column.

It saves a ton of space for a social web connection that can use a lot of it.

Theres also a sidebar that allows you to quickly jump to different lists or views.

Aeries also allows a ton of customization.

you might independently adjust font and image sizes to make the most of your screens real estate.

it’s possible for you to also tweak gestures to your preference.

This customization can come in handy for power users.

The search function also allows you to save certain search parameters to easily look them up later.

On the objectively bad side, Aeries lacks the ability to schedule tweets.

For anyone who manages multiple Twitter accountsespecially for workthis is a pretty big downside.

Simply put, if too many people use a Twitter client, new users get locked out.

That being said, the Twitter-ownedTweetDeck(Free)still works great in Chrome.

Plus, you know, its free.

TweetDeck and Aeries are functionally very similar, with only a few minor differences between them.

Chiefly, you might schedule tweets and tweet from multiple accounts with fewer clicks.

If you want a dedicated Windows app, theofficial Twitter app(Free)also works really well.

Its also much simpler than either TweetDeck or Aeries.

You have a single column view, even on the desktop.
