I can't think of any other app or service I use where, if you have a native client installed, usually, that's where the notifications come from, is the native client. I thought the big tell was that, even if you had the official Twitter for Mac client installed, when you clicked on one of those notifications, it would always open the Twitter website. Then, you'd get these notification center notifications at the system level. Do you want notifications for DMs? You want them for mentions? Blah, blah, blah. YF would be an obvious first target if Twitter actually starts enforcing the UI rules they have published for client apps using their API, and the way their API works provides them the power to disable YF (or any client) unilaterally.That Mac OSX, which was the name of the OS at the time, you could enter your Twitter account in system preferences, and set what kind of notifications you want.

The only caveat for YF is that Twitter has made it quite clear that they dislike the idea of 3rd-party clients, and are particularly opposed to clients like YF that provide tools for users to shape the content of their tweetstreams and the ways tweets appear. YF also offers a rare wealth of functional features (such as versatile types of 'muting' and user-defined tabs) that compare favorably to most commercial Twitter clients & outshines Twitter's own clients (including TweetDeck.) If you *want* a flashier look, it has an amazing depth of configurability, easily found in the Preferences dialog where it belongs. As such, it has a highly flexible and functionality-focused UI that is not (at least by default) as cute as it might be, but which works well. YF is uncompromisingly a MacOS X desktop application, not a mimic of the Twitter website or a smartphone app.

YF doesn't look & feel much like any other Twitter client, and that's good.
