Showing the first 200 of 420 — ordered by how strong the evidence is, then by standing. Narrow it with a filter to see the rest.

Tools that run on a Mac — the short answers

Every number here comes from our own daily check — not from a vendor list.

Tools that run on a Mac — how many are there?
Tablif is tracking 420 of them. 390 answered our check today, and 26 we couldn't reach — we don't claim those are dead.
Which ones are still maintained?
Tablif knocks on every door once a day and records the answer. 390 of these 420 responded on the latest run, so that number is what "still here" means on this page — not a review score.
Are any of them free?
97 of the live ones say so in their own words, and 65 let you start without making an account. Tablif records the claim the product makes; we don't verify pricing.
Any open-source options?
66 of the live ones on Tablif mention being open source.
What's the newest one?
macOS — Tablif first saw it today.
Did a person actually look at these?
401 of them Tablif opened and read, then wrote a one-line summary in our own words instead of reusing the founder's tagline. The rest carry keyword labels we haven't confirmed by reading yet — and we say so rather than hiding it.
