Questions

Which Mac apps are made in the United Kingdom?

Some you may know are Alfred, Raycast and Affinity. This page lists 16 Mac apps from 14 makers in the United Kingdom, each with the page we used to check where it is made.

Is Alfred made in the United Kingdom?

Yes. Alfred is made by Running with Crayons in Cambridge. We checked it on find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk.

Is Bartender still a British app?

Bartender's site now names Applause Group, Inc. with no location, and its old UK company was dissolved in 2025, so we left it off for now.

How does MacPip know where an app is made?

For the apps in this guide, we read the maker's own imprint, about page or terms, the Mac App Store seller details, Wikipedia or a company register, and we link that source next to each app. On MacPip listings, makers pick their country themselves. We never guess it.

How do I add my Mac app to this page?

List it free on MacPip and pick United Kingdom under Made in. Once it is approved, it shows up here with your flag. Already listed? Add the flag from Your apps.
