Nitter is a free and open-source alternative Twitter/X front-end focused on privacy and performance, written in Nim. It proxies all requests through a self-hosted backend so clients never talk to Twitter directly, offering lightweight, JavaScript-free browsing with RSS feed support.
Use cases
- browse twitter without javascript
- read tweets without an account
- self-host a private twitter front-end
- get rss feeds for twitter accounts
- avoid twitter tracking and fingerprinting
- lightweight twitter alternative for slow devices
When to choose
- you want privacy-respecting, ad-free, JavaScript-free Twitter browsing
- you need RSS feeds for Twitter profiles
- you want a lightweight front-end for low-bandwidth or accessibility reasons
When to avoid
- you need to post, log in, or interact with Twitter
- you require a legally safe or actively maintained project - X Corp. sent cease-and-desist letters in August 2026 and development has stopped
- you need official API reliability or embeds
