- Sometimes, Setapp experienced loading issues. We’ve made some changes to solve this.
Setapp 3.36.0
New
Exciting AI news! We’re thrilled to share our latest AI plans, credits, and tracker. Big changes are coming! Starting February 28, using AI in Setapp will change. Before, Setapp paid for all AI uses. Now, every Setapp user gets 10 free AI credits each month. That’s like sending 400 messages with GPT-3.5 Turbo or 20 messages with GPT-4 Turbo, added straight to your plan.
We’ve got “AI Enthusiast” and “AI Expert” plans for our heavy AI users with 125 and 250 credits, respectively. Plus, you can get a yearly AI+ plan for 25% off for the next two weeks!
We’re keeping things flexible. If you have your own OpenAI key, you can use it and skip the AI+ plan. Or use Setapp’s OpenAI key without signing up anywhere else. Track your AI credits in your Setapp account or under “Solve with AI+” on the Setapp desktop.
Have you got questions? Check out our help article on “AI+ subscription plans” or contact our Support team. Let’s dive into the AI adventure together!
Fixed
- We added missing translations to the Notification Center settings.
Setapp 3.35.2
Fixed
- We fixed some layout issues and optimized our code.
Setapp 3.35.1
Fixed
- Last time, we released the new Notification Center. In this release, we fixed layout bugs and decreased the frequency of notifications so that they won’t bother you.
- If you thought that “Uh-oh” and “Terribly sorry” looked alien in Setapp messages, we also believe so. We rewrote about ten notification messages to align them with our tone.
Setapp 3.35.0
New
We’re proudly introducing a new Notification Center! Click the bell icon on the top-right corner of Setapp to see it. The new Notification Center aims to inform you about all the news and updates you need:
- Update your Setapp apps or the Setapp desktop.
- Install a newly released app.
- Read about new Setapp features, our marketing updates, and more.
Of course, you can manage the notifications only to see what you want.
Setapp 3.34.5
Updated
- Last week, we released our first app, available only on the web. This took some effort from us in terms of development and design. But now we proudly invite you to check the “Ready to send” app and see the result of our recent work.
Fixed
- Recently, we unified the Setapp signing-in flow. It now goes through a web browser only. If your default browser was OpenIn from Setapp, then it caused an issue. It’s now fixed: another browser opens to sign you in.
Setapp 3.34.4
Fixed
If you removed Setapp from the sidebar in Finder and then restarted Setapp, it appeared in Finder again. We fixed it.
Setapp 3.34.3
Fixed
- We show a list of people related to developing Setapp in the About Setapp window. The window had the broken scrolling, but now it’s fixed.
Setapp 3.34.2
Fixed
- A video on an app page was blinking for a few seconds when you played it. It’s now fixed.
- When you searched for an iOS app, Setapp displayed it in a broken layout. We fixed it.
Setapp 3.34.1
Fixed
We had five bugs related to keyboard navigation. For example, the Left button didn’t work as expected when you wanted to scroll through app images, or the app context menu appeared in the wrong place when you Control-clicked the app. All the bugs are now fixed.
Setapp 3.34.0
New
- Let us introduce you to the changes in opening Setapp. When you click the Setapp icon in the menu bar, Setapp opens. We also added an alternative that you can activate in settings: clicking the Setapp icon opens a context menu. The menu helps you quickly access AI Assistant, your installed apps, settings, Setapp account, and Setapp itself. Choose the new behavior for Setapp icon you like.
Fixed
- In some scenarios, Setapp could have consumed much more memory than it actually needed. We fixed it.
- Some of the texts in German, French, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish didn’t fit into the Setapp windows. We fixed it.
Setapp 3.33.6
Updated
- We changed the behavior for cmd + Q a few weeks ago, and you didn’t like it. So, we admitted our mistake and reverted the change: cmd + Q again just closes the Setapp desktop.
Fixed
- You could observe a frozen screen briefly, but we already fixed this issue.
New
You can now leave feedback for the app’s beta versions. The thoughts, ideas, and experiences you describe about the beta will go directly to the app developers. Other Setapp subscribers won’t see your feedback, and it won’t affect the app’s rating. We expect this to be a valuable source of information for further app improvement, and we are grateful for your involvement.
Setapp 3.33.4
Updated
We improved Setapp search and AI Assistant behavior:
- You will see app names with the icons first and then tasks.
- We removed the scroll.
- The AI Assistant icon in the end will lead to the AI Assistant that answers your request (no need to retype it again).
These changes are based on the feedback we’ve got from you, and we hope Setapp now is just what you want ^_^.
Setapp 3.33.3
New
- While you use a beta version of macOS, you cannot rate Setapp apps. This is done to eliminate negative feedback for apps that could appear due to inaccuracy in the beta macOS and not related to the Setapp app itself.
Fixed
- In some scenarios, it was impossible to scroll the captcha and sign in to Setapp. It’s now fixed.
- We added missing localized text.
Setapp 3.33.2
New
The ratings and reviews you left in Setapp gave a lot of valuable insights to the apps’ developers. And we would be happy to get your feedback on Setapp. If you see our new feedback pop-up, please share any of your thoughts, ideas, and suggestions on how Setapp could be more helpful to you. If you don’t want to see the feedback window, click “Don’t show again” or go to Settings > General > App Behavior and deselect the corresponding checkbox.
Setapp 3.33.1
Updated
- We improved behavior for search results. Result items are now highlighted when you hold the pointer over them.
Fixed
- When you clicked a notification about a freshly installed iOS app, Setapp opened My Explorer. Now, Setapp opens the app page, and we guess it’s what you expected.
Setapp 3.33.0
Updated
- We want to improve your experience when you open Setapp. This update won’t be visible to most subscribers but includes the necessary preliminary steps for a major update.
Setapp 3.32.0
New
- Suggestions for your search. While using Search in Setapp, you'll now see a smart suggestion right below your query ✨.
We hope these suggestions are helpful for quickly finding apps, recommendations, or anything else in Setapp. To see the suggestions, open Setapp on your Mac, then start typing your query in the Search field.
Updated
- More options in the dialog below your avatar picture. Want to provide feedback about Setapp? Or open the Setapp settings? Maybe, go to the Setapp Support Knowledge Base? All these operations are now closer to you: just click your avatar picture in the main Setapp window, then select an option in the dialog that opens.
Fixed
- Previously, closing the "Rate the app" dialog using the Escape key on a keyboard didn't have effect if you had written something in the feedback field. Now, dismissing the dialog with the Escape key is always possible.
- Some elements in the Setapp Feedback Form were not aligned accurately. Now, all elements in the Form stay in harmony, which pleases the perfectionists in us.
Setapp 3.31.1
Updated
- In this release, we made our referral program even easier — you can now find the referral link just in the top-right corner of Setapp. Click “Invite friends,” and the referral link will be copied to the clipboard. Share it with your friend, and each of you will get a free month if your friend subscribes to Setapp.
Fixed
- In some rare cases, you clicked an app icon with two fingers on the trackpad, and nothing happened. We fixed it, and now you see a pop-up menu.
- You could see our new charts written not in your language. We fixed it.
Setapp 3.31.0

Setapp 3.29.0
New
We provide more and more apps, and we are searching for new ways to structure them efficiently and bring value to you. This time we introduce new charts in My Explorer composed on Setapp ratings:
- The best of Setapp — the most used and top-rated apps
- Hidden gems of Setapp — moderately used and top-rated apps
- Rising stars of Setapp — niche or new top-rated apps
Check the new charts out! We believe they will help you discover something exceptional.
Setapp 3.28.1
Updated
- Our subscribers rarely used the “Update frequency” section, and it’s now removed from Settings. We want you to see in Setapp only what you really need.
Fixed
- Some layout issues with images and borders on macOS 14.0 have been fixed.
- Setapp has become even more secure. We found and fixed a minor vulnerability.
Setapp 3.28.0
New
- We are thrilled to present our newest feature — Setapp Assistant. Empowered by AI, it’s not just a search, and it’s not just a guide. It’s your personal assistant available 24/7 that knows everything about Setapp desktop, Setapp apps, MacBook, iPhone, and many other things you may need when running Setapp. You won’t also be disappointed asking it to compose a poem or challenging it with the funniest questions.
- We promised more languages in Setapp, and we’re releasing them! Please meet Ukrainian localization. You can learn how to change the language at Setapp in our Help Center or... by asking Setapp Assistant.
Setapp 3.27.0
New

Setapp 3.26.3
Updated:
- We made several minor code improvements, and Setapp now works even better.

Setapp 3.26.1
Fixed

Setapp 3.26.0
Fixed
We fixed minor issues in design and keyboard navigation.
Setapp 3.25.0
New
- Setapp extends its search results: we’ll show you relevant articles from Hot-tos and Tutorials in addition to the apps. The idea is to provide you with the full functionality of Setapp. It’s nice to find the relevant app, but it’s even nicer if you can read about best practices on its usage or how to combine it with other apps for maximum productivity.
- We continuously improve the technical part of Setapp and apply new technologies for the best user experience. Some of the latest technologies can’t befriend the old macOS. So, starting with this release, you can install Setapp on macOS 11.0 and newer versions. Setapp will continue working on the older macOS versions if already installed, but new features of Setapp will not be available. Please note that each Setapp app has its own development flow and might update its functionality for older macOS versions.
- When russia attacked Ukraine in February 2022, obviously, we discontinued our services for russian and Belarusian users. In this release, we stop supporting russian localization as redundant. Setapp subscribers can always choose one of these languages: English, German, French, Portuguese, Italian, Spanish, and Chinese. We also plan to add a new language to Setapp soon.
Setapp 3.24.0
Updated
- We’re concentrating all the energy on Setapp for macOS 11.0 and newer versions. Nevertheless, we’ll continue releasing essential updates and improvements on Setapp for macOS 10.15 and older versions.

Setapp 3.22.2
Updated
Each review now contains the app version used by a reviewer. This will help eliminate cases when Setapp subscribers think the app might have the issue while it is possibly already fixed in a newer version.
Fixed
If you use Bartender, managing the Setapp icon in the menu bar was impossible. We fixed it.
We fixed several UX & UI imperfections.
Setapp 3.22.1
Fixed
- If you filtered apps by platform or subcategories and then explored app pages, we could “forget” to clear your choices when you returned. Therefore, you had to click the same subcategories to reset your previous selection manually. We now always remember to reset it automatically.
- There were issues with the keyboard navigation and VoiceOver at iOS app activation. We fixed it, and you can now use keys and voice prompts to activate an iOS app.
Setapp 3.22.0
New
We started checking whether you have enough free space to install or update an app. If yes, everything goes smoothly as before. If not, we notify you that your Mac needs more free space. Then you can free up some space and come back to installation or update.
Fixed

Updated
- It’s just two minor improvements, but we can’t wait to release them.
Setapp 3.21.0
New
- Oh wow. We’re so excited to introduce our new app categories. We minimized them to four and left only the fundamental ones: Optimize, Work, Create, and Develop. The self-explanatory names will lead you directly to what you need.
In case you worry that each category might include too many apps for your goal, we have another genuinely new feature — subcategories. The subcategories cover a particular task, so you can quickly jump to the needed app set. Moreover, you can filter the apps by macOS, iOS, or web platform in addition to the subcategory choice.
Setapp 3.20.1
Updated
- We’re happy to announce that you can now rate apps exclusively available on the iOS platform! This extends our Ratings & Reviews functionality that we previously had for the macOS apps. Rate the apps and help other users to make the best choice.
Setapp 3.20.0
New

- We applied a list of UX improvements to the Ratings&Reviews functionality.
Setapp 3.19.0
New
- As a highly technological company, we have started implementing artificial intelligence (AI) in Setapp. Our first step is adding an AI search. Starting with this release, the search results became smarter and even more relevant. Currently, the AI search only applies to English requests, but we’ll soon announce AI support for different languages.
- Setapp has automatically checked the apps updates every 30 minutes. If you want to decrease the Internet traffic load on your system, you are welcome to choose another update frequency of up to 24 hours.
- Great news for the techies and computer nerds! Setapp starts supporting beta versions of the apps. What does it mean for you? — The freshest and most fantastic features on your Mac and phone earlier than others can enjoy them!
Updated
- When expanding or collapsing reviews, there is no need to be precise anymore. Just click somewhere close to the review.
Fixed

Setapp 3.18.0
Updated
- We are proud to introduce our updated Setapp icon — it follows the latest trends and looks even better.
Fixed
- Setapp could mark viewed notifications as new ones. This is fixed.
- Sorting apps by “Last used” didn’t work because there was an issue determining the last usage date in Setapp. We fixed it, and the sorting works properly.
- “You may also like” is a section on an app page where we recommend relevant apps. In some cases, you could see empty placeholders instead of the apps. We fixed it.
Setapp 3.17.2
Fixed

- Long-long-long release notes were not shown fully. You can now read them all after the fix.

- Setapp could crash on macOS 13 at network request. We did our best to make this crash impossible.
Setapp 3.17.0
New
- You have been asking us to implement this functionality for months, and we finally did it! Starting with this release, you can see the app’s rating and available platforms on every screen where the app is mentioned — no need to visit its page for detailed information anymore. Moreover, move the pointer to the app icon, and you’ll see the actions you might want to perform right now: install, open, or preview app. Setapp has become even more intuitive and friendly. Thanks a lot for the great suggestions :heart:
Updated
- Anytime you have a question or issue with Setapp, please inform us about the Setapp version you use. To make this easier, you can now copy the version just by clicking it. Need help finding it? On the top main menu: Setapp > About Setapp.
Fixed
- We fixed an issue regarding Setapp app update. If you previously backed up some apps on a separate disk on your Mac, we updated them, too, and consumed the disk memory. Now we update the apps only on the primary disk.
Setapp 3.16.1
Fixed
Setapp 3.16.0
New
- We are incredibly excited to release Craft — our first app available on macOS, iOS, and the web! This multiplatform app brings absolutely new experience and value when you work on and organize your documents.
Accepting new challenges, we enhanced Setapp app page design. Visit the Craft page in Setapp and click the Mac, Web, or iOS tab in the lower-left corner to see how the app looks on different platforms.
Fixed
- We are sorry if you had rated the app and then saw a suggestion to rate it again. We fixed that.
- In some sophisticated scenarios, we kept forgetting to remove the archives of our apps. This cluttered up the space on user’s disk and... we fixed it.
- On November 4th, Setapp could hang for many of you. We fixed the issue the same day, but the last leftovers were fixed within this release. Now Setapp must fly, or Santa won’t visit us.
Setapp 3.15.0
New
- In this release, meet fully updated and thought-out Settings (if you use Monterey or earlier macOS versions, you may know them as Preferences.) We divided them into several categories for convenience — General, Notifications, Launcher, Updates, and Privacy. We also added more descriptive texts to the settings so you can easily decide how to fine-tune your Setapp. To discover a new Settings look, open Setapp and press Command—Coma (⌘,).
Setapp 3.14.0

Setapp 3.13.0
Fixed

We kept showing your Favorite apps on Setapp desktop after you signed out from Setapp account. However, that could be considered infringing on your privacy if you share a device with somebody else. And we didn't want that. So, we fixed this issue.
- If you were starting to install an app and forgot to log in, we asked you to log in and then click "Install" again. No extra clicks anymore—starting with this release, we'll start the installation process automatically.
Setapp 3.12.0
New
- Starting with this release, only authorized users can install new apps in Setapp. In other words, you should log in to your account to utilize apps. We added this functionality to have more transparency with our vendors. We love and appreciate them as much as we love and appreciate you :heart:
Fixed

- Setapp got more secure, and it’s now protected against “process injection” — the latest vulnerability discovered by Apple.

Setapp 3.7.0
New
- We proudly introduce the tectonic change in Setapp — iOS-only apps! Setapp was found as an umbrella app for multiple macOS apps. Some of the apps were also available for iOS, and we gladly shared them with you.
With this release, we start providing apps available only for iOS. You can find our first iOS-only app, “UpLife,” on the Setapp desktop. To install an iOS-only app, find it in the “Available on iOS” category or by using search, and click “Preview app > Get iOS app.” Enjoy!
Setapp 3.6.0
New
We introduce the Reviews & Ratings system for our apps! On an app’s page in Setapp, you can read reviews from other people to know whether the app meets your expectations. Furthermore, you can share your own experience and rate the app installed on your Mac or iPhone. We also expect that Reviews & Ratings bring additional insights to developers and boost the apps’ efficiency.
You liked the app — thumb up.
You didn’t like the app — thumb down.
You have what to say — just say it.
It is simply like that!
