I've developed a website like Ninite for Mac. It lets you install multiple Mac apps unattended and automatically, avoiding you having to go to the app website, look for the link to download, wait to download, extract the zip or mount the dmg, drag to the Applications folder, and then delete the dmg or zip. All this, if you take accounts and multiply by 5 to 10 apps that can be installed when we have a new Mac or reinstall the system.. it's a lot of time!

3 Steps total

Step 1: Go to macapps.link

Just open you're favourite browser and go to http://macapps.link

Step 2: Select the apps you want to install

In the website, select a bunch of apps and click de install button.

Step 3: Copy and paste the command in Terminal.app

Copy the generated command and paste it to Terminal.app. Press Enter and let apps to be downloaded and installed automatically.

Save time using macapps.link and use it to deploy the generated command to install or update apps in your company.

  Can we have someone confirm this is not a Malware flogging site.
  Or if in fact this even works. (I'm not going to risk it.)

  Haven't tried it either but if it's like ninite, it could definitely save some time, great tip. Thanks.

  @Dane Ryan: Unlike webs like Softonic or MacUpdate, apps are downloaded from the official site. You can see the 'magic' behind if you go to, for example, http://macapps.link/es/firefox-chrome and see the script. If you look deep, the URL from which downloads the app is the official site (100% free of malware).

  macapps.link generates a bash script and a command to download and execute this script. Just analyze the script and you'll see no trap :)

  This actually looks kind of cool. Looks like it uses curl to pull the updates down to your computer via terminal app

  @Tom7741: Exactly. It uses curl and simple bash scripting to download, extract or mount the downloaded file and move the .app to the /Applications folder. Of course it is not so simple but it is that in essence. Glad you like it!

  Great job. I have used Getmacapps.com several times but your site has more apps. If you could add Java it would be awesome!

  @Michael3671 Thanks for your comments! Can't add Java because it's a .pkg and requires elevated privileges. macapps.link can only install .app files ðŸ‘x8D
