Most Mac app lists are either ads or a dump of everything.
MacGuild is a small, curated directory: public facts, short notes, and a page per app. Prices and download counts stay off the page unless we can verify them.
Real Mac apps
Tools you can install on macOS today — launchers, window managers, capture apps, terminals, and notes.
Public facts only
Homepages, licenses, and repositories we can link. No invented prices, ratings, or download counts.
Browse, don’t scroll a blob
Filter by category, tags, and license. Every app has a page you can share.
Every listing is a Markdown file.
The content you're browsing lives as files in a repository. Grove builds them into this site and its machine-readable outputs — and keeps everything in sync when a file changes.
