Setapp is a subscription-based software catalog launched in 2016 by MacPaw that offers monthly access to a collection of macOS and iOS applications. The service aims to provide software developers with an alternative method for macOS software distribution and monetization that does not rely on Apple's App Store. Setapp additionally offers premium access to select iOS apps in its catalog. In 2024, Setapp released an official iOS marketplace app available to download in the European Union.
