MacPip lists 19 open source Mac apps. Open source means you can read the code, build it yourself, and see what it does with your data. It does not automatically mean free of charge or well maintained, so each profile says what its listing says.

What these 19 apps offer, by their listings. An app can offer several, so the bars do not add up to 19.

How to judge an open source Mac app

  • Recent activity. Look at the project page for recent commits and releases.
  • Signed builds. A notarized download is easier to trust than an unsigned one. Our guide explains what notarization is.
  • Paid builds. Some makers sell a convenient build of open source code. That is a fair way to fund the work.
