22 Free Macintosh Apps

Professionally-crafted applications.
No gimmicks, no ads, no catches.
Just simple solutions — for free.


GrowlyBird Software provides high-quality applications for Macintosh — all free of charge and without copy protection.

We provide apps you can use at home, in a small business, and at school. We like apps that are useful, fun, that can simplify or organize your life. We don’t like apps that try to be everything for everyone. We don’t mess around with mobile apps.

Our developer has been writing software for the Mac since 1984 — the year that Macintosh was introduced. He was a professional programmer and manager at Microsoft and other companies for 18 years. He’s a little odd, but he works hard, and he really knows the Mac, so we let him out of his cage every now and then.

See our Products page for an overview of our apps and how to download them. Click the links in the sidebar see the pages for each app, or use the menu up at the top of each page.
