This project is dedicated to collecting high-quality macOS software and organizing them systematically by different categories for easy search and use.
First read
Visible and active, but adoption proof is still thinner
jaywcjlove/awesome-mac has enough public attention and recent movement to stay on the shortlist, but package usage is still partial, so the next step should be source and ecosystem validation rather than a quick yes.

Treat stars and recent movement as discovery context only until npm or PyPI usage is available.

Method note
This label appears when GitStar cannot find strong enough package telemetry to compare attention against adoption. Compare it against other Swift repos before treating stars as a moat.
