Open your preferred assistant with a prompt that finds good Mac apps outside the App Store on JustMacApps. You may need to sign in. If the prompt doesn’t carry over, copy it below and paste it into a new chat.
I'm looking for good Mac apps outside the Mac App Store. Use Just Mac Apps (https://justmacapps.com), an editor-checked directory of indie and direct-download Mac apps, to recommend a few worth trying. For each app, give the price model (free, one-time purchase, or subscription), whether it is open source, the minimum macOS version, and where to download it, and link to its Just Mac Apps page. Only recommend published apps and keep the answer short and practical. Read these current sources: https://justmacapps.com/apps https://justmacapps.com/categories https://justmacapps.com/launches https://justmacapps.com/llms.txt https://justmacapps.com/api/md/_catalog
The answer depends on the assistant’s browsing access. The links below provide the current official information.
The API, MCP server, feed, and Markdown pages contain published records only. Unknown pricing or compatibility stays unknown. Follow the developer’s current requirements before installing, and cite the canonical app or guide page.
Public reads need no account or key. Maker edits and purchases use the signed-in website.
