If you're a Mac user, you've probably spent hours hunting for the perfect app—whether it's a sleek Markdown editor, a powerful terminal tool, or a hidden gem for productivity. What if there was a single, well-organized list of the best Mac software out there? That's exactly what Awesome-Mac delivers.
What It Does
Awesome-Mac is a massively curated collection of premium and open-source Mac applications across dozens of categories—development tools, design apps, security software, and even niche utilities.
