macss
Handpicked Mac apps, with the pricing spelled out
macss is a hand-curated directory of macOS apps. Every entry is written from scratch, not copied from the developer's landing page, so you get a straight answer on what it does. The part most lists skip is pricing. macss tells you whether an app is free, freemium or paid, and how you pay: one-time, subscription or licence. Open source apps link to their repo and licence, and anything no longer maintained gets flagged. Categories include menu bar, window management, notch and developer tools.
Hi Product Hunt 👋
I built macss because every time I set up a new Mac I ended up in the same place: a Reddit thread from two years ago, a YouTube "top 10 apps" video, and a few listicle sites stuffed with affiliate links. Half the apps were dead or had quietly moved to a subscription, and nobody had updated the page.
So macss is the opposite of that. Every app is one I have actually looked at, and the description is written by hand instead of pasted from the developer's site.
The part I care most about is pricing. "Freemium" on its own tells you nothing, so macss says whether an app is free, freemium or paid, and how you pay: one-time, subscription or licence. Open source apps link to their repo and licence, and anything that stops being maintained gets flagged.
It is just a website. Nothing to install, no account needed.
I would love to hear which apps you think are missing. And if you built something listed and I got a detail wrong, tell me and I will fix it.
