Beak: A Mac Twitter Client
Beak is a Twitter client for the Mac OS X platform. It is a rival to the popular Tweetie, which is available for the Mac along with the iPhone and iPod Touch. Although it is still in beta, Beak is stylish, good at doing its job and keeps you up to date with all of your Twitter notifications.
In comparison to Tweetie, Beak is free and offers similar functionality once logged in. Beak is still in its beta
stages, where Tweetie has only one version out for Mac and I'm longing for the next version of Tweetie to be released.
One function I would like to change in Beak is the time display. Currently it shows the time the tweet was sent and not how long ago it was sent. If you have a Mac and would like to download and try Beak for Mac, the download link can be found here, along with additional information on the client.
Enjoy

ugh @ both. TweetDeck by far better.
Tweetdeck is better.
@KevinNunez Yes, but both Beak and Tweetie are small clients. I would make more use of Tweetdeck if it was used by a numerous amount of people in a business.
I normally use Tweetie, but Beak is a great free alternative.
Apart from the fact that it does not remember your login, so you have to enter your username and password every time you use Beak.
Personally at the moment, i am looking for a new Twitter Application for my Mac, Twitteriffic is Twitterunteriffic ...
@WilliamCodyWinter Yeah, I think it is a great alternative, but that login system is a downside. @Sousuke Tweetie is free, but with ads. Beak is free with no ads. Have you looked at the Adobe Air platform such as twhirl and TweetDeck?
