Vancouver’s Essayist wins Mac App of the Year

Apple announced the winners of its competition 2025 App Store Awards. Of course, there were many nominees, but there can only be one winner in each category. Apple says the 17 winners were selected by App Store editors.

Nice to see this Essayist from Vancouver won the Mac App of the Year award. Sorry, Toronto Venba did not win the Cultural Impact category.

Other winners include: Pokemon TCG And Dredge. Plus, Timo won app of the year, and although I've never used it, I really like the app designed to help people with ADHD and just downloaded it to try it out.
