# MacBase

> MacBase (https://macbase.app) is a free directory of Mac apps: find apps for your Mac, see the apps people use instead of the ones they know, and list your own for free. 0 apps are listed, with alternatives to 0 well-known apps.

- Every listing is a Mac app, checked by a person or MacBase's AI review before it goes live: Mac App Store apps, apps downloaded from the developer's site, and open source apps.
- Each app page has the price, the oldest macOS it runs on, whether it runs natively on Apple silicon, whether it's notarized, open source or verified, a description, and the well-known apps it's an alternative to.
- Verified listings have a check mark: the developer put the Featured on MacBase badge on their website. Some have a deal for MacBase members: the offer shows to everyone, and the code to anyone signed in with a free account.
- Listing an app is free. A developer signs in at https://macbase.app/submit and starts from a Mac App Store link, website or GitHub repository, or has an AI agent do it through the personal MCP link on their dashboard.
- Every page below has a Markdown copy: its address with .md on the end, such as https://macbase.app/apps/maccy.md.
- A read-only MCP server for assistants is at https://macbase.app/mcp, with search_apps, get_app, alternatives_to, list_categories and list_category. No sign-in.
