But before we start with the list of our favorite Setapp apps, let’s talk about the Setapp service and how it works.
What is Setapp?
Setapp is a membership-based App Store where you get access to over 230 Mac apps. Setapp is sort of a Netflix for apps giving you access to different kinds of apps with a single subscription.
What makes Setapp subscription worth it is the fact that you don’t have to individually buy apps that are available on its platform and you get to download and use unlimited apps from Setapp for as long as you are a paying subscriber.

Bartender

Bartender brings useful features to the menu bar items and shows which apps are updating or showing errors, letting you fix issues right away. This app also offers a search feature for the menu bar items, which is convenient.
Other useful features of this app include the ability to use Keyboard for navigating through the menu bar items and making your own hotkeys and keyboard shortcuts to access them.

ClearVPN
As you may already know VPN has become a necessity in today’s age. There are plenty of good VPNs out there, however, most of them are paid. However, the good news is you don’t have to separately pay for a VPN if you have a Setapp subscription as it already has CleanVPN available for download.
With ClearVPN you can hide or change your current location when browsing and access content that is not available in your region. In addition to that, you can anonymize your web browsing and keep your activity private and hidden from hackers and snoopers. ClearVPN is available from Setapp as a free download.
Mosaic
Mac’s window management is messy. Mosaic app helps users in fixing this by snapping windows just the way they like. Mosaic moves or resizes all of the currently visible app windows so that users can use multiple apps without much trouble.
Mosaic lets you create your personal window layouts and quickly arrange current windows based on your desired layout. With Mosaic, you get a window resizer, multi-screen compatibility, and more. Mosaic is available for free via Setapp.
Thoughts On Setapp
Having used Setapp for a few days I can safely say that it is a must-have service for every Mac user out there. It has all the apps that you will ever need under one subscription.
Setapp is also very cost-effective as it only costs $9.99 per month. At that price, you are getting access to 230+ premium applications. If you were to buy individual subscriptions, then $9.99 would only give you access to 1 or 2 apps that are available under Setapp, so at this price, this service is a steal.
The quality of apps on Setapp is also pretty amazing. In addition to the 6 awesome apps that we have listed in this article, there are tens of other apps that we love on this platform and use on a regular basis. We recommend Setapp to anyone who loves to use third-party Mac apps and doesn’t mind paying a subscription fee for some high-quality applications.
