Apple Announces Finalists for the 2025 App Store Awards

Apple Newsroom:

Finalists in the Mac App of the Year category provided users with powerful tools to confidently take on new projects:

  • Acorn, for being the go-to tool for pro-level photo edits.
  • Essayist, for taking the stress out of sourcing and formatting academic papers.
  • Under My Roof, for keeping homeowners organized and prepared.

Nice to see Flying Meat’s Acorn — one of my own favorite and most-used apps since 2007, before it even shipped — getting this sort of recognition from Apple. Back in June, Apple featured Acorn in the WWDC keynote, during the preview of Liquid Glass.
