About Mac Apps Daily

Mac Apps Daily is an independent publication dedicated to helping Mac users discover great software.

Every weekday, we publish curated picks across productivity, AI tools, developer utilities, open-source alternatives, and more.

How we find apps

We don't wait for press releases. Every day, our research process covers:

• Product Hunt — new launches and trending Mac apps
• GitHub Trending — open-source projects gaining traction in Swift, Electron, and Rust
• Indie developer communities — forums, blogs, and social media where creators announce new tools
• Mac-focused review sites — 9to5Mac, MacStories, Six Colors, and others
• Reader suggestions — some of our best finds come directly from subscribers

From this research, we narrow down to a curated daily list of the most interesting apps worth your attention.

Our editorial approach

We have opinions, and we share them.

If an app is good, we'll tell you why.

If it's overpriced, buggy, or not worth the hype, we'll say that too.

We don't publish puff pieces, and we don't soften our recommendations to keep anyone happy.

Every app we feature has been researched for its features, pricing, user reviews, and competitive alternatives.

We cover free, paid, and open-source options equally — because the best tool for the job isn't always the most expensive one.

On affiliate links

Some links on this site are affiliate links.

When you click through and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.

This is how we keep the lights on.

But it never influences what we recommend. We feature plenty of free and open-source apps that earn us nothing — because they deserve to be discovered.

We always disclose affiliate relationships. Read our full affiliate disclosure →
