The best software for Mac "with Russian roots"

Dear Habralyudi, we here decided to support the annual award "Soft of the Year . " This year, in addition to the awards in the classic nominations for products of the ala antiviral program of the year, we (in Parallels) decided to mark the creators of programs written specifically for the Mac. And we want to do something with your help. Need advice and opinions.

Some list of the most interesting, in our opinion, teams that make working on Macs more convenient and more pleasant has already been formed. We were repelled by the fact that it should be exactly Russian developments. Companies can be registered anywhere, but the code is written in Russia. We want to highlight those who are something like us 5 years ago. Those who, like us once, represent a small team of developers who respect MacOS and do something useful for Mac users. After all, Parallels Desktop for Mac, now popular worldwide, (hint: allows you to work with Windows on Mac) was preceded by 5 years of ordeal . It was Vmware Fusion that came after us, then there was fierce competition with it and, it seems, finally, the restoration of historical justice again.

In general, the guys we nominate make great software products that are gaining popularity all over the world, where many have never even heard that this is the fruit of the efforts of Russian developers, well, or those who have Russian roots.

Take a look at our list. Anyone want to add? In the coming days, with your help, we will add it to the nomination page, and then choose three winners. But it is clear that this is the case when the main thing is not victory, but participation.

The applications below are not in order of priority for us or in order of importance for the market. We just found them interesting for all sorts of reasons. We did not consider it necessary to indicate in this list well-known software companies whose development centers are located in Russia, such as Kaspersky , Abby , Doctorweb , Siber Systems, because they were not initially focused on Mac products, and indeed these companies are already large. We are interested in teams of a different order. We attributed Puntoswitcher to a fairly well-known product, so we didn’t include it either.

We did not consider a huge number of applications written for Iphone like Auto-Helper Pro or Digga toys, Matches , because it was more interesting for us to evaluate applications for Macs. And even the first application for Nano (the exchange of scans between users on a local network via Iphone) from Novosibirsk NT-MTD, specializing in instrument engineering for nanotechnology, we did not include in the list.
