Arduino IDE 2.3.10 for Mac

Mac Developer Tools

Updated Nov 6, 2026

⬇ Download Now

The Arduino IDE is the official, free development environment from Arduino for programming Arduino boards — including the ever-popular Arduino Uno — and thousands of compatible boards. You write sketches in a C/C++-based language, click upload, and the IDE compiles and flashes your code to the board over USB. The current 2.x generation is a ground-up rewrite of the classic 1.x editor, adding autocompletion, a built-in debugger and a much faster interface, while keeping the same simple workflow beginners learn on. Version 2.3.10 is the current release for Mac.

Key Features

• Code editor with autocompletion, syntax highlighting and a dark theme
• Built-in debugger for supported boards, plus Serial Monitor and Serial Plotter
• Boards Manager and Library Manager to add support for new hardware in a click
• Works with Uno, Nano, Mega, ESP32 and many third-party boards
• Completely free and open source, with a huge collection of built-in examples

How to Download

1. Check whether your Mac has an Apple silicon or Intel chip under Apple menu > About This Mac.
2. Download from the official site and pick the macOS build that matches your chip.
3. Open the downloaded disk image, drag Arduino IDE to Applications, connect your board and select it under Tools > Board and Tools > Port.

System Requirements

Arduino IDE 2.3.10 needs a recent 64-bit version of macOS. Arduino publishes separate downloads for Apple silicon and Intel Macs, so choose the build for your processor; the legacy IDE 1.8.19 remains available for very old systems.

FAQs

Is the Arduino IDE really free?

Yes. The IDE is free, open-source software from Arduino. The download page offers an optional donation, but paying is not required to use any feature.

Does it work with an Arduino Uno?

Absolutely — the Uno is one of the boards supported out of the box. Just connect it by USB, choose Arduino Uno in the Boards menu, pick the serial port, and upload your sketch.

Araxis Merge Pro 2025.1 for Mac

Mac Developer Tools

Updated Nov 6, 2026

⬇ Download Now

Araxis Merge, from UK developer Araxis Ltd, is a long-established visual file comparison and merging application for macOS and Windows. The Professional edition covered here adds three-way comparison and merging on top of the Standard edition's two-way tools, which makes it popular with developers reconciling two changed versions of a file against their common ancestor. Beyond source code, Merge compares folders, extracts readable text from documents, and produces reports of the differences it finds. Version 2025.1, released in August 2025, refined the linking lines that connect matching text between panes.

Key Features

• Two-way comparison and merging in the Standard edition, three-way in Professional
• Folder comparison and synchronisation for whole directory trees
• Text extraction from Office, OpenDocument, PDF and RTF files for comparison
• Image and binary file comparison alongside plain text
• Comparison reports you can save and share, plus automation and command-line access

How to Download

1. Decide whether you need the Standard or Professional edition — three-way merging requires Professional.
2. Download from the official site and choose the macOS download of Merge 2025.1.
3. Install the app and evaluate it during the free 30-day trial before buying a licence.

System Requirements

The 2025.1 release is tested and supported on macOS 13 Ventura through macOS 15 Sequoia, on both Apple silicon and Intel Macs. It is a Universal app, so no translation layer is needed on M-series machines.

FAQs

Is there a free trial of Araxis Merge?

Yes. Araxis offers a full 30-day free evaluation with no feature limits, so you can test three-way merging with your own files before paying for a licence.

What is the difference between Standard and Professional?

Standard handles two-way file and folder comparison. Professional adds three-way comparison and automatic merging, which is what most developers want for Git and version-control work.

appdoo 1.0.3 for Mac

Mac Developer Tools

Updated Nov 6, 2026

⬇ Download Now

appdoo, from the team behind MAMP at mamp.info, is a Mac application for people who have an idea for an iPhone or iPad app but no programming background. Instead of writing Swift or Objective-C, you assemble screens visually: add lists, maps, web views, media elements, and data sources such as RSS feeds or JSON, arrange them on each screen, and shape the result into a working native iOS app design without typing code.

When your design is ready, appdoo exports a real Xcode project, so the app is finished and submitted using Apple's own tools. Publishing to the App Store still requires a paid Apple Developer Program membership — Apple's separate yearly charge. appdoo itself is not a subscription: the vendor offers a tryout that is fully functional for 14 days, after which it loses Xcode export until you buy the app.

Key Features

• Visual screen designer for building native iOS apps without coding
• Ready-made elements including lists, maps, web views, and media
• Connect RSS, JSON, and other data sources to live app content
• Free Preview app shows your project live on a real iPhone or iPad
• Exports a genuine Xcode project for App Store submission

How to Download

1. Go to the vendor's download page and get the free 14-day tryout version first.
2. Start your download from the official site: Download from the official site
3. Install appdoo, build your project, and use the companion Preview app to test it on a device.

Do I need to know programming to use appdoo?
No. appdoo is designed for non-programmers and works visually. You only meet Apple's standard tools at the final step, when the exported Xcode project is submitted to the App Store.

Is appdoo free?
The tryout is free and fully functional for 14 days, but exporting to Xcode stops after that unless you buy the app. It is a one-time purchase model, not a subscription.

AppCode 2016.3.1 for Mac

Mac Developer Tools

Updated Nov 6, 2026

⬇ Download Now

AppCode was JetBrains' dedicated IDE for iOS and macOS development, built on the IntelliJ platform. It worked directly with Xcode projects and offered smarter code completion, powerful refactorings, and deep code analysis for Swift, Objective-C, C, and C++, which made it a favourite second editor for many Apple-platform developers. Version 2016.3.1 is an old release from that era, suited only to equally old Xcode versions and projects.

Honesty matters here: JetBrains discontinued AppCode. With the 2022.3 release on 14 December 2022, the company ended sales and stopped renewing subscriptions, and technical support for remaining users ended in December 2023. You can no longer buy AppCode, and it receives no updates for current Xcode or Swift versions. The JetBrains product page remains online for reference, but new developers should use Apple's free Xcode or a currently supported JetBrains IDE instead.

Key Features

• Intelligent code completion and analysis for Swift and Objective-C
• Safe, project-wide refactorings inherited from the IntelliJ platform
• Full Xcode project compatibility — open and edit projects in either IDE
• Integrated LLDB debugger and a visual unit test runner
• Built-in CocoaPods support and version control integration

How to Download

1. Read the current status of the product on the official JetBrains AppCode page first.
2. Start your download from the official site: Download from the official site
3. Note that new licences are no longer sold; only existing perpetual fallback licences still work.

Can I still buy AppCode?
No. JetBrains ended AppCode sales on 14 December 2022 and no longer sells or renews licences. Any site offering new AppCode licences or cracked copies should be avoided.

What should I use instead?
Apple's Xcode is free and fully current. Developers who like JetBrains tools can look at CLion for C and C++ work, while Swift development is best handled in Xcode itself.

App School for Xcode and iOS Development 1.2 for Mac

Mac Developer Tools

Updated Nov 6, 2026

⬇ Download Now

App School for Xcode and iOS Development, from Bluewater Publishing, was a beginner training app sold through the Mac App Store. Version 1.2, released in November 2016, taught complete newcomers how to build iPhone and iPad apps using Xcode 8 and Swift 3 for iOS 10, through step-by-step video tutorials, written PDF booklets and exportable sample source code you could open and experiment with yourself.

That context matters today: Xcode, Swift and iOS have all moved on by many major versions, so this course's screenshots, APIs and instructions no longer match a modern development setup. We also could not verify a live official listing for this exact release when preparing this post, so no download link is given. Treat this page as a record of the product, and if you are learning iOS development now, start with Apple's current free Swift and Xcode resources instead.

Key Features

• Step-by-step video tutorials building complete apps from start to finish
• Written PDF tutorials to follow alongside the videos
• Exportable sample source code for hands-on practice in Xcode
• Beginner-focused pacing, assuming no prior iOS development experience
• Coverage of common user-interface elements and basic app structure

How to Download

1. Check the Mac App Store first — if this title no longer appears, it has been withdrawn and should not be sourced elsewhere.
2. For current learning, download the free Xcode app from Apple and follow its up-to-date tutorials.

Is this course still useful for learning iOS development?
Only as background. It teaches Xcode 8, Swift 3 and iOS 10, which are long superseded. Modern Swift, SwiftUI and the current Xcode differ substantially, so beginners should use current materials.

Why is there no download link?
The original 2016 App Store listing could not be verified as live, and the publisher's old site is not a confirmed download source. We never link to torrent or mirror copies of paid courses.

App Icon Generator 1.7.0 for Mac

Mac Developer Tools

Updated Nov 6, 2026

⬇ Download Now

App Icon Generator, by developer Thomas Coomer, is a small App Store utility that removes one of the fiddliest jobs in app development: resizing a single icon into the long list of sizes Apple requires. Feed it one source image, choose the platforms you are shipping for, and it exports correctly sized, correctly named PNG files for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, iMessage apps and Mac in seconds.

Version 1.7, the current App Store release, can also export a complete App Icon Set that you drag straight into your Xcode asset catalog, with every image already assigned to the right slot. The developer states that no data is collected by the app, and the tool itself was used to generate its own icons. It is a paid app — listed at £2.99 in the UK store, with regional pricing elsewhere — not a free download, and on Mac it requires macOS 14.0 or later.

Key Features

• Generates every required icon size for iOS, watchOS, iMessage and macOS from one image
• Exports an Xcode-ready App Icon Set for direct drag-and-drop into asset catalogs
• Alternatively exports individual PNG files, named by size and ready to use
• Kept up to date with Apple's current size and resolution requirements
• Privacy-friendly design, with the developer stating that no data is collected

How to Download

1. Open the App Store listing and confirm the price in your region.
2. Start your download from the official site: Download from the official site
3. Buy and install it, then pick your source image, choose your target devices and export.

What source image should I use?
Start with your largest, highest-quality square icon artwork. The app resizes and converts it to PNG at every required size, so a clean, high-resolution original gives the best results.

Is App Icon Generator free?
No. It is a low-cost paid app on the App Store, priced at £2.99 in the UK at the time of writing. There is no separate free full version.

Adobe Scout CC 1.1.3 for Mac

Mac Developer Tools

Updated Nov 4, 2026

⬇ Download Now

Adobe Scout CC 1.1.3 for Mac was Adobe's visual profiler for Flash Player and Adobe AIR content, released in its final form in May 2017. Connected over a telemetry link to running Flash content on a desktop or mobile device, it showed exactly where a game or application spent its time and memory, so developers could find and fix performance bottlenecks.

It was built for Flash and ActionScript 3 developers, especially game makers using Stage3D, who needed frame-by-frame detail ordinary debuggers could not provide. Scout was freeware through Creative Cloud in its day, but is now discontinued: Flash Player reached end of life in December 2020, Scout was removed from Creative Cloud, and there is no supported version or official download for modern Macs.

Key Features

• Frame-by-frame profiling of ActionScript 3 code execution, rendering and memory use
• Detailed CPU breakdown covering code, 2D DisplayList rendering, network and video
• Stage3D profiling with rendering preview and draw-call recording and replay
• Profiling of content running locally or on a remote device over a telemetry connection
• Historical session data, letting you compare performance before and after a fix

How to Download

1. There is no official download today: Scout CC is a discontinued product and is no longer offered on Adobe.com or in the Creative Cloud app.
2. Developers maintaining legacy Flash or AIR projects should rely on archived, already-installed copies only, and use modern browser and native profiling tools for new work.

Was Adobe Scout CC free?
Yes, Scout was offered as freeware to Creative Cloud members in its time, which is different from the paid Adobe editors on this page. That does not help today, however, as the discontinued app has no official download or support.

Does Scout CC work on current Macs?
Realistically, no. Scout depends on Flash Player telemetry, Flash reached end of life in 2020, and version 1.1.3 dates from 2017. It should be treated as a historical tool for legacy projects, not a profiler for current development.

Adobe Muse CC 2017.0.1.11 for Mac

Mac Developer Tools

Updated Nov 4, 2026

⬇ Download Now

Adobe Muse CC 2017.0.1.11 for Mac was Adobe's visual website builder for designers who wanted to lay out pages the way they would in a print tool, without writing code. You placed text, images and widgets on a canvas, set up master pages and breakpoints, and Muse generated the HTML, CSS and JavaScript when you published.

Muse is discontinued and this page is kept for reference only. Adobe stopped developing new features in March 2018 and technical support ended on 26 March 2020, so there is no official download, no updates and no compatibility fixes for modern macOS versions. Anyone maintaining an old Muse site today should plan to rebuild it in a supported tool such as WordPress, Webflow or Dreamweaver.

Key Features

• Code-free visual page layout with drag-and-drop placement of text, images and widgets
• Master pages and reusable elements for consistent headers, footers and navigation
• Responsive breakpoints so one design could adapt to desktop, tablet and phone widths
• Built-in widgets for slideshows, forms, menus, accordions and social buttons
• Publish through FTP to your own host or export the complete site as HTML files

How to Download

1. Please note there is no official download any more: Adobe ended Muse service in 2020 and no longer sells or distributes it.
2. An old licensed copy may open on an older Mac, but it receives no updates — for new sites, choose a supported website builder instead.

Is Adobe Muse CC free?
No, and it is no longer available at any price. Muse was paid Creative Cloud software; Adobe discontinued it, ended support in 2020 and removed it from sale.

Should I download Muse from another website?
No. Sites offering Muse installers today are unofficial, and an unsupported, unpatched app is a security risk. There is no legitimate way to buy Muse now.

Adobe Edge Animate CC 2.0.0 for Mac

Mac Developer Tools

Updated Nov 4, 2026

⬇ Download Now

Adobe Edge Animate CC 2.0.0 for Mac was Adobe's timeline-based tool for creating interactive web animations using HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript instead of Flash. Designers used it for animated banner ads, infographics, e-learning elements and website motion, arranging elements on a stage and animating them with keyframes, pinning and easing controls.

This product is discontinued and you should know that before looking for a download. Adobe announced in November 2015 that Edge Animate and the rest of the Edge family were no longer being actively developed, and it was later removed from Creative Cloud. Its core animation ideas were folded into Adobe Animate and Dreamweaver. There is no current official product page or supported installer, and it is not sold today.

Key Features

• Timeline and stage for building HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript animations without writing all code by hand
• Keyframe, pin and easing controls for smooth motion, transitions and interactive elements
• Reusable symbols and responsive scaling for animations used across different screen sizes
• Code snippets and actions for adding interactivity such as clicks, playback control and navigation
• Integration with web fonts and other Adobe tools of its era, including Photoshop assets

How to Download

1. Because Edge Animate is discontinued, Adobe no longer offers a supported download — use Adobe Animate instead for current HTML5 Canvas and WebGL animation work.
2. If you maintain a very old project, keep your original licensed installer and files archived, and plan a migration to Animate or modern CSS and JavaScript animation.

Is Adobe Edge Animate CC free?
No, and it is no longer available at all. It was Creative Cloud software during its lifetime, but Adobe ended development in 2015, so there is no free full version or current trial to claim.

What replaced Edge Animate?
Adobe Animate is the main successor for timeline animation and HTML5 export, while Dreamweaver and modern CSS and JavaScript libraries cover much of the in-page web animation work Edge Animate was built for.

Adobe Dreamweaver 21.7 for Mac

Mac Developer Tools

Updated Nov 4, 2026

⬇ Download Now

Adobe Dreamweaver 21.7 for Mac is Adobe's long-running website design and development tool, combining a visual layout editor with a proper code editor in one window. Build pages by dragging elements into place, then switch straight to the underlying HTML, CSS, JavaScript or PHP to fine-tune exactly what the browser receives.

It suits web designers, front-end developers and site owners who manage real, hand-coded websites rather than hosted drag-and-drop builders — especially anyone maintaining several sites who wants previewing, file management and publishing in one app. Dreamweaver is subscription software, sold as a single-app plan or within Creative Cloud All Apps, with a short free trial for new users.

Key Features

• Visual design surface and code editor side by side, changes reflected live in both
• Smart code hints and error checking for HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP
• Responsive design tools and Live View previews at phone, tablet and desktop sizes
• Built-in Git support, plus FTP and SFTP publishing to your web server
• Pull assets directly from Creative Cloud Libraries and Adobe Stock into projects

How to Download

1. Download from the official site
2. Start the free trial, or sign in with the Adobe account holding your Dreamweaver or All Apps subscription.
3. Install Dreamweaver via the Creative Cloud desktop app and sign in to activate it on your Mac.

Is Adobe Dreamweaver free?
No. Dreamweaver is paid subscription software, not a free full version. Adobe offers a short free trial for new users, after which a single-app plan or Creative Cloud All Apps subscription is required to keep using it.

Is Dreamweaver good for beginners?
It can be: starter templates, visual editing and code hints help new users build real sites while learning how HTML and CSS work. Anyone who never wants to touch code may still find a hosted builder simpler.
