DevMate
Software licensing, distribution, and analytics for macOS developers (sunsetting)
DevMate is a software licensing, distribution, and analytics platform built specifically for macOS developers. It solves the problem of managing software sales, license keys, and app updates for developers distributing Mac applications outside the Mac App Store. The platform is being sunset and will close for external developers on September 1, 2025, after which key features will be discontinued.
The platform offers capabilities for creating and managing software licenses, releasing new product versions, distributing app updates, and providing an activation API for license validation. It also includes a vendor dashboard for license management and analytics. The product is designed for macOS developers who need to handle their own licensing and distribution infrastructure.
DevMate is intended for independent macOS developers and small software companies who distribute their applications directly to users. The platform is being phased out, and users are advised to migrate to alternative solutions before the September 2025 closure. The company offers assistance with data migration for existing users transitioning away from the platform.
