Description
Birdhouse is a notepad for Twitter.
It's a simple, well-designed app for capturing your ideas, saving them for later, and publishing when ready.
Birdhouse won't replace your favorite Twitter client, it'll add to it. Continue using your favorite Twitter client for keeping up with your friends. When you think of something to write that you don't want to post right away, Birdhouse is the perfect place to put it.
FEATURES
• Quickly jot down your ideas, just like in Notes.
• Count down to 140 characters, just like in Twitter.

• Save and publish from multiple Twitter accounts.
• Capture your ideas offline, even in Airplane mode.
• Rate drafts with stars and sort by best or by latest.
• Unpublish the bad ones just as easily.
• Back up everything through email.

Customer Reviews
BEFORE / AFTER
YOU, BEFORE THE RELEASE OF BIRDHOUSE:
bar napkins, a Sharpie™ on your forearm, only one comment at a time, mnemonic devices, not closing the window with half a comment written so it's not lost, the backs of business cards, the backs of pets, Notes without copy/paste, counting characters with all 18 fingers and toes, TextEdit, faulty short-term memory storage, faulty short-term memory storage, handheld recording devices, too-little sub-par marination of your comment in its own juices.
YOU, AFTER THE RELEASE OF BIRDHOUSE:
Birdhouse.
I love this thing we made.
Is it uncouth to review my own app? I'm not sure I care. Cameron and I set out to make a tool we needed, and I'm going to rate the outcome as honestly as I can.
Birdhouse is better than I imagined it would be. I don't just use it some of the time. I use it all of the time. It allows me to access and strengthen a part of my brain that threatened atrophy from normal Twitter use. Is Birdhouse for everybody? No. But it's for me, and (judging by the overwhelming response) it's for a lot of other people, too. So how did we do, Cameron? That's right. 5 stars is how we did.
Finally.
I'd seen enough pre-release chatter about this little app to know that I wanted it, sight unseen. And it lived up to the hype.
Now, I still love my daily Twitter client, but Birdhouse is a writer's *tool*, in the most positive sense of the word. No more crafting Tweets or half-formed ideas in email and sending them to myself for later use - hooray!
It's a fantastic little app, simple as that.
