This list of Macintosh software shows prominent Mac OS computer programs. Since the library of Mac OS programs is unmanageable, this list is confined to those programs for which a Wikipedia article exists. For some comprehensive lists, visit VersionTracker or MacUpdate. For a list of all software by just Apple, see List of Apple software.
This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.
