Supported systems

Windows 7 and newer

TweetDuck is primarily developed and tested on Windows 7 and 10. If you're experiencing any issues, please check the troubleshooting page and the list of active issues, before you create a new issue.

.NET Framework 4.5.2 or newer is required. You may need to install it manually on Windows 7 or 8, the installer will provide you with a download link if necessary.

Windows XP & Vista

Release 1.3.3 from September 2016 is the last version to support Windows XP and Vista. This is due both Google and Microsoft dropping support for these system in their frameworks and libraries TweetDuck uses.

You may still install this version of TweetDuck, however you will not receive any support. Install version 1.3.3 from the link above, and .NET Framework 4.0 if necessary. After opening the app, you will most likely see a white screen, in which case you need to perform additional steps:

1. Right-click the white screen
2. Navigate to Settings -> Advanced
3. Click Edit CEF Arguments and type in --ignore-certificate-errors
4. Click Apply and restart the app
5. You should now see TweetDeck, however most features such as notifications or plugins will no longer work

This will effectively disable HTTPS, exposing you to a risk of attackers stealing your account on insecure networks, for example when using public Wi-Fi or fishy internet providers.

Linux, Mac

There are plans to develop TweetDuck for Linux and Mac using the Mono Runtime, but don't expect it to be ready for a long time because the program needs to be partially rewritten as some of the currently used libraries only support Windows.
