Counts unlabeled, assigned, unassigned, milestoned, demilestoned, locked, unlocked over the last 12 months. These are issue and pull request events that require triage or write permission. Commits and code review are not counted. labeled and renamed are excluded because GitHub issue forms record the issue author as the actor. Figures from October 18, 2026. This count is not comparable across projects: each project's automation decides which of these events a person emits. How this is counted.

How this project is maintained

100% of open issues come from outside the core team, so the backlog reflects real-world use rather than internal planning. Three people close 94% of everything that gets resolved.

Detailed Description

Open Source Mac OS Apps is a curated directory that catalogs free, open source applications available for macOS.

The repository addresses the problem of discovering quality open source software for Mac users by maintaining an organized, categorized list spanning audio, backup, browsers, chat, cryptocurrency, databases, development tools, editors, graphics, productivity, and utilities. The approach is straightforward: contributors submit applications to be added to the list, which are then organized by category and tagged with implementation language to help users find tools matching their needs and technical interests.

This resource suits Mac users seeking free alternatives to commercial software, developers looking to explore open source projects written in specific languages, and anyone interested in contributing to the ecosystem. The list includes both native macOS applications and cross-platform tools, making it useful whether you need something built specifically for Mac or are open to software that runs across multiple operating systems. The README explicitly invites contributions and frames the repository as a starting point for finding projects to contribute to, positioning it as both a discovery tool and a gateway into open source participation.

Issues and pull requests often wait weeks or longer for a first response.
