Exactly. Been using Tweetbot for years (a decade?). Never seen ads. Timeline is literally a “time line”. And nothing shows up that I don’t want to see like promoted tweets, tweets from people I don’t follow, or trends.
Even has some awesome features on top of that like muting (people or hashtags). They’re only limited by Twitter’s throttled API at this point. However, literally the day that Twitter opened up viewing tweet likes via the API, Tweetbot had updated their app to support it.
They switched to a subscription model with Tweetbot 6. And while I’m generally not a fan of subscriptions, I figured $6 per YEAR for an app that I use every day and have for nearly a decade is totally worth it to support the devs.

Curious, what's your client? I'm interested in that.
Tweetbot (although I realize they may have started charging so it’s not actually free.)

I loved that app when I had an iPhone, I had Tweetbot 4 (I think) and I couldn't use Twitter without it. Thanks!
My client does exactly this (no ads, feed in order) and I can’t believe I have this for free already while others can’t even pay for it.
