What is qTwitter?

qTwitter is an application interacting with microblogging services, such as Twitter, Identi.ca and others based on StatusNet application (former laconica). It aims to be as compact as possible still providing outstanding usability. Since it's a Qt-based application with no other dependencies, it works wherever Qt does, i.e. Windows, Mac OS X and vast variety of Linuxes and Unices supporting X11 (including Nokia's Maemo platform).

  • support for working with multiple accounts at the same time,
  • storing statuses lists between sessions,
  • automatic #hashtagging and URL shortening via 9 different services,

  • system tray notifications (via Plasma and Growl),
  • customizable statuses list length and look (via the use of themes),
  • automatic checking for updates,
  • in-session passwords storing (can be disabled),
  • HTTP proxy support,
