# MacNative

> A hand-picked directory of the best macOS apps — menu bar utilities, developer tools, and creative software — each with the screenshots to prove it. Every app listing carries schema.org JSON-LD (SoftwareApplication/Product) and is server-rendered, so it's readable without executing JavaScript.

## Site

- [Home](https://macnative.io/): Browse and search the full directory of curated Mac apps.
- [Categories](https://macnative.io/categories): Apps grouped by category.
- [Open source](https://macnative.io/open-source): Free and open-source Mac apps, ranked by GitHub stars.
- [Makers](https://macnative.io/makers): The developers behind listed apps.
- [Blog](https://macnative.io/blog): Guides and app roundups.
- [Submit an app](https://macnative.io/submit): Human-facing submission form (requires sign-in) — also where to generate an API key for programmatic submissions.
- [Submission guidelines](https://macnative.io/guidelines): What gets listed and what gets rejected — read this before submitting.
- [Submit via API](https://macnative.io/submit.md): Full instructions for AI agents and scripts — API key generation, request format, field list, and image requirements for programmatic submissions. Fetch this directly rather than parsing it out of this file.

## Notes for crawlers

- `/robots.txt` allows crawling of every page except `/admin` and `/api/`.
- `/sitemap.xml` lists every app, category, and blog post.
- App, category, maker, and blog pages all carry schema.org JSON-LD.
