About
This list of Best Free Software for Mac OS now includes 286 applications in various categories.
With the advent of “iDevices”, Mac OS has arguably become one of the fastest growing user bases in the last decade. Not only for graphic design and audio/video editors anymore, Mac OS, with its simplistic design, has caught the appeal of many more common users who want a system that just works.
One of the largest shortfallings, however, is that enhanced functionality comes at a cost. Many software solutions for Mac OS are paid options that allow certain functionalities. The goal of this group is to break down that barrier and provide a large database of free software for Mac OS to enhance your Mac experience.
Ranging from comic book readers to programming editors, chess to media centers, our team has taken the time to review and recommend the best free software for Mac OS.
