what helps a Mac app launch.
Mac App Store or direct download
the Mac App Store handles payments, updates and trust, but your app runs in Apple's sandbox and Apple takes a commission. selling from your own site gives you more freedom, but the app has to be signed with a Developer ID and notarized, or macOS warns people when they open it. decide before you launch, because it changes your launch page.
say what it runs on
Mac users check the macOS versions first, and whether it runs on Apple silicon, Intel or both. put it in your description, not only on your website.
a proper Mac icon
Mac icons are a rounded square with space around it. a flat square logo looks out of place in the dock. the free icon generator below makes all ten Mac sizes in that shape.
a week, not a day
the board runs from monday to sunday, UTC. a launch that goes live on monday has the whole week to collect upvotes, and the top three of each week keep a medal on their page.
free to launch. a little extra to go faster.
every launch, free or paid, gets its own page and an SEO backlink to your site.

a few quick answers.
will my Mac app be shown as an iPhone app?
no. ShipDesk reads what the App Store says the app runs on. a Mac App Store link labels the launch as a Mac app, and it appears under the Mac filter.
my Mac app is not in the App Store. can i still launch it?
yes. launch it with your website, and the launch page links straight to it.
my iPhone app also runs on Apple silicon Macs. is that a Mac app?
no. an iPhone or iPad app that can also run on newer Macs is still listed as an iOS app. a Mac app is one made for the Mac.
is it free?
yes. a free launch asks you to upvote 3 other launches before you submit. the paid plans skip that and give you more time at the top.
is my launch reviewed?
every launch is reviewed before it goes live. a free launch waits its turn, a fast launch is reviewed within 24 hours, and a featured launch is approved the moment you submit.

your own launch page, a link to your site and a full week on the board. free to start.
