Questions
What is MacPip?
MacPip is a free directory and daily launch site for Mac apps. A person checks apps by hand, and each checked app shows a blue tick and a dated report. Apps a person has not checked yet say Check pending. It has nothing to do with the Python tool pip.
Is it free to list a Mac app?
Yes. Listing, choosing a launch date and a followed link to your site are all free. You do not need a badge on your site or a target number of votes.
How fast is the review?
Usually within a few minutes. If an app does not pass, the reason appears on its status page so the maker can fix it.
What does checked by hand mean?
For downloads, we confirm the Developer ID signature and Apple notarization. We compare the screenshots with the real app, then open it to see that it does what it says.
What is the difference between launching and just listing?
Launching gives your app the front page on a day you pick, with votes and a shot at Top this week, and then it stays in the directory. Just listing skips that day and puts your app straight into the directory and search. Both are free, and both get a check by a person and a followed link.
Can a sponsor buy a higher place?
No. Sponsors get a separate row that always says Sponsored. Launch order comes from votes, and sponsors cannot pay to change it or to skip the check.
Which apps can be listed?
Apps that run on macOS, from the Mac App Store or the maker's own site. Web apps and iPhone-only apps are not listed.
We listed my app. How do I claim it?
Open your app's page and choose Claim it, then sign in. Prove you run the site with an email at its domain or a tag on its homepage, with no account. You can then edit the listing or remove it. Edits go live straight away and do not change the check report.
