Ulysses for iOS will always be distributed via the App Store anyway, and our main channel for the Mac app will remain the Mac App Store. I also corresponded with Marcus Fehn, one of the co-founders of The Soulmen, makers of Ulysses, a beloved text editor used by many of us at MacStories, who also sees Setapp as additive to his company’s other sales channels: ![]() This way, we ensure that we reach users seeking different ways to buy apps. ![]() For instance, we offer Screens directly from our store, on the Mac App Store and now on Setapp. Setapp is just another way to have our apps available to a different set of customers. Luc Vandal, creator of Screens, a MacStories favorite for screen sharing, said: To try to get a better sense of what has attracted developers to Setapp, I asked a couple who are participating in Setapp how they feel Setapp fits with the other sales channels for their apps. If Setapp attracts large numbers of new users to the apps in its service, some developers’ apps could thrive, but that is by no means a given. The benefits of Setapp to developers are less clear. Although it is difficult to anticipate the cost of purchasing and updating apps over the course of a year or more, the subscription approach makes economic sense for users in those circumstances and is worth considering. Setapp should be a bargain for anyone interested in several of the apps it offers, especially the ones that cost the most outside Setapp. The app is installed when you click the ‘Open’ button from an app’s overview window. ![]() Double clicking the icon opens a description of the app with screenshots similar to what you find on the Mac App Store. Each icon has a little downward pointing arrow to indicate that it hasn’t been installed yet. If you look in the Setapp folder in Finder, you will see icons for all 61 apps. Apps aren’t installed until the ‘Open’ button is clicked.
