Must-download apps for your Mac 🍎
We tweeted this question and found some great under the radar apps. A few interesting trends also came about...
1) Mac users LOVE menu bar apps! A lot of the responses mentioned Caffeine, Alfred, and f.lux.
2) macOS really needs to come with a built-in windows organizer. Popular apps include: Spectacle, Magnet, and BetterSnap.
3) The ubiquity of Slack means that Slack-like :emoji: commands are now essential, in every app. Rocket does just that.
4) Use a password manager! It should be one of the first apps you download (1Password was mentioned a lot).
5) Download this app last.
Grow your app with Setapp: revenue, users, & AI
You shipped the app. Now comes the part nobody warns you about.
Billing across dozens of countries. Licensing agreements. Tax compliance. Customer support for users you haven't met yet. And if your app does anything with AI, add provider management and infrastructure costs to the pile. None of that is why you started building — but all of it is now your problem.
Setapp is trying to take it off your plate.
You probably know Setapp as the subscription marketplace — one monthly price, hundreds of Mac apps. On May 21st, they turned toward developers. The pitch is simple: list your app, reach users who are already looking, and let Setapp handle the business layer.
