twitter2nitter1.9

Sharing a Twitter URL with twitter2nitter sends it to Nitter instead of opening it in Twitter. It can handle a Twitter link opened directly with the app, giving users a quick way to view shared links through Nitter. The app suits people who encounter Twitter links in other Android apps and prefer to follow them through Nitter, especially when a link appears inside surrounding text.

A plain Twitter URL can be passed to twitter2nitter through Android’s sharing action. More unusually, the app can find a Twitter URL inside shared text and redirect that link as well, rather than requiring the entire shared content to be a URL. Handling Twitter links embedded in text is described as a currently unique capability, and the same approach works when sharing a Google mobile search result that contains Twitter links.

Version 1.9 runs on Android 5.0 and later in the Internet & Browsers category. Its architecture is Universal, and the project is open-source. The application uses zero permissions, keeping its role focused on receiving shared links or text and forwarding detected Twitter URLs to Nitter.
