Questions
How we pickWhat is PickMacApps?
PickMacApps is a directory of Mac apps kept by Firoj Alam. A listing is a name, a short description, a pricing label, and a link to the developer.
How are apps chosen?
Apps are added by hand. Editor’s Choice is a paid placement, capped at 3 published apps. It is not a test score. The price is the one on the submit page.
Are the apps free?
The directory includes free, freemium, and paid apps. The label on each card is the pricing model. A dollar price is shown only when that listing records one.
How do I submit an app?
Use the submit page. A free listing needs the PickMacApps badge on the app’s site before it is reviewed. Editor’s Choice does not need the badge. A listing is published only after it is reviewed.
