How this was counted
- Sample: all 94 approved Mac apps live on MacPip on November 5, 2026. 36 took a launch day, and 58 are directory listings only.
- Date range: apps that went live from October 30, 2026 to November 5, 2026. MacPip opened in October 2026, so this is 7 days of data, not years.
- Source: makers submit most listings, and MacPip added some itself at the start. Category, pricing, "Built with" and Apple silicon come from each listing, as makers state them. A person has checked 63 of the 94 apps.
- Not a market survey: makers chose to list here, so this describes new and indie Mac apps on one site, not every Mac app.
- Rounding: shares are of all 94 apps, rounded to whole percent. Each app counts once, in its main category.
- Recomputed live: every number updates when the page loads. Cite the date with any number.
