A big share of the Mac's software has always been made in the US, starting with Apple in Cupertino. Panic, founded in 1997 and based in Portland, makes Transmit and Nova, and also made the Playdate handheld. The Omni Group began in Seattle in 1989 as a NeXTSTEP shop, and BBEdit, first released in 1992, is still sold by Bare Bones Software in Massachusetts.

Rogue Amoeba in Boston makes Audio Hijack, Flexibits makes Fantastical, and a long line of small studios keep shipping: Many Tricks, the Iconfactory, Agile Tortoise, Tapbots and C-Command among them. Plenty of newer makers on MacPip are from the US too.

Questions

Which Mac apps are made in the United States?

Some you may know are Transmit 5, BBEdit and Fantastical. This page lists 26 Mac apps from 24 makers in the United States, each with the page we used to check where it is made.

Is Transmit 5 made in the United States?

Yes. Transmit 5 is made by Panic in Portland. We checked it on panic.com.

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 States under Made in. Once it is approved, it shows up here with your flag. Already listed? Add the flag from Your apps.
