Best Developer Tools for Mac.

IDEs, editors, terminals, and dev utilities for Mac.

Developer tools for Mac range from the editors you stare at all day — Zed, VS Code, CotEditor — to the small utilities you forget are running: local servers, Git clients, API scratchpads, and menu bar monitors for AI coding sessions. macOS remains the default machine for a huge share of working developers, and the tooling ecosystem reflects it.

This category favors apps that are fast, scriptable, and light on system resources — a dev tool that drags the machine down isn't saving you anything. A large share of the entries are open source, so you can read exactly what they do before trusting them with your codebase.
