Black Friday Mac App Deals
Black Friday deals on Mac apps from indie developers: screenshot tools, clipboard and window managers, developer utilities, dictation apps and menu bar tools. Many are one-time purchases that only go on sale this week. Apps on the page right now include CleanShot X, TextSniper, Yoink for Mac, QuickWhisper and BoltAI.
Mac apps are sold in a few ways: a one-time purchase, a one-time purchase with a year of updates, a subscription, or a Mac App Store price. Black Friday discounts usually apply to the licence or the first year, and some indie developers add a lifetime option for a few days. Early-bird prices often appear in mid-November, and many run through Cyber Monday on 30 November.
How to pick
- Check whether the price includes future updates or only the current version.
- Look at the number of Macs one licence covers.
- Use the trial or refund window, and confirm the app supports your macOS version.
Most of the deals below are last year’s offers until vendors announce their 2026 deals. Each entry switches over by itself when that happens. To hear about new ones as they land, get a deal alert.

Black Friday mac app deals: quick answers
When do Black Friday 2026 mac app deals start?
Black Friday is on Friday, November 27, 2026, and Cyber Monday is November 30. Many vendors start their sale a week or two early and keep it running until Cyber Monday. Turn on deal alerts and we email you when a new mac app deal goes live.
Is the deal on the Mac App Store or the developer site?
It varies. Some developers discount only on their own site, some only on the App Store, and the App Store price can differ by country. Each deal says where the offer applies.
Why do some deals show last year's offer?
Most vendors announce their Black Friday 2026 offer only in November. Until then we show what they offered last Black Friday, so you know what to expect. Each deal switches to the 2026 offer as soon as the vendor announces it.
