Great apps for your Mac. Right there on your Mac.
The Mac App Store makes it easy to find and download Mac apps as well as widgets and extensions — like editing extensions for the new Photos app. You can browse Mac apps by category, such as games, productivity, music and more. Or do a quick search for something specific. Read descriptions and customer reviews. Flip through screenshots. When you find an app you like, click to buy it. The Mac App Store has apps for just about everything and everyone. Here are a few of our favourites.
Choose where to save the scanned items: Use the Scan To pop-up menu. If you choose a folder, the items are stored in that folder. If you choose an app, the items are opened with that app. Adjust the colors or exposure of the scanned image: Choose Manual from the Image Correction pop-up. The Network Path is the Mac's IP address followed by the name of the shared folder on your Mac. To find your Mac's IP address, click the Apple icon, click System Preferences, and then click Network. The IP address displays next to Status.

Install any app with ease.
The Mac App Store revolutionises the way apps are installed on a computer — it happens in one step. Enter the same iTunes password you use to buy apps and music on your iPhone, iPad, Mac or iPod touch. Within seconds, your new app flies to Launchpad, ready to go. So you can spend more time enjoying new apps and less time installing them.
Keep your apps up to date.
Since developers are constantly improving their apps, the Mac App Store keeps track of your apps and tells you when an update is available — including OS X software updates. Update one app at a time or all of them at once, for free. You can even have your apps and OS X update automatically, so you’ll always have the latest version of every app you own.
The app you need. When you need it.
Can’t open a file you’ve downloaded or received in an email? OS X can search the Mac App Store to find the app that can open the file. Buy what you need instantly and get back to business.
Buy, download and even re-download.
You can install apps on every Mac authorised for your personal use, and even download them again. This is especially convenient when you buy a new Mac and want to load it with apps you already own.

Using Stickies is a great way to keep track of the quick notes you jot down during the day, especially if the subject matter is timely or is of the utmost importance.
What's a Stickie and why would I use it?
Stickies notes are essentially digital Post-its. The app works similarly to the Notes app, in that you make yourself notes so that you remember stuff. But Stickies notes stay on your desktop, as a visual reminder.
If the note is very pressing, you can choose to keep it in front of all windows so that you have a constant reminder. Or if you just need to remember to lock up the office at the end of the day, you can leave it in behind so that you see it when you close all your apps for the day.
If you need to remember important tidbits of information, you'll want to use Stickies so that you're not cluttering your desk with real-life Post-its, only to waste paper and/or lose a phone number from time to time.
How to create a new Stickies note
- Launch Stickies from the Dock or Finder. A new note should just pop up; if so, skip to step
- Click File in the menu bar on the top left of your screen.
- Click New Note. Alternatively, you can just press Command-N on your keyboard.
Type your note.
That's it; you've made a Stickie!
How to make a Stickies note float on top of all windows
If you want your note to follow you wherever you go on your Mac, you can make it float on top of every window, so that even when you change apps, you'll see your Stickie.
- Launch Stickies from the Finder or Dock.
- Create a new note or click on an existing one.
- Click Note in the menu bar at the top of your screen.
Click Floating Window.
Now you'll see your note all the time, no matter which app you're in.
How to make a Stickies note translucent
If you have your Stickies note as a floating window, but feel like it's a bit obtrusive, you can make it translucent so that it doesn't feel like it covers up too much of your screen.
- Launch Stickies from the Dock or Finder.
- Create a new note. Or click on an existing one.
- Click Note in the menu bar at the top of your screen.
Click Translucent Window.
Save Up For Something Mac App Download
Now your Stickies note will become translucent, like the ghost of future tasks!
How to collapse Stickies notes
Maybe you want your Stickies to follow you everywhere on your Mac, but you don't want to the full note shown all the time. You can collapse them into little bars to help keep your screen clutter free!
- Launch Stickies from the Finder or Dock.
- Create a new note or click on an existing one.
- Click Window in the menu bar at the top of your screen.
Click Collapse. Alternatively, you can press Command-M on your keyboard to quickly collapse or expand the note you're clicked on.
How to change a note's color
If you like to color-code you Stickies notes based on subject matter or just so you can remember which is which more quickly, you can change the color of each note.
- Launch Stickies from the Finder or Dock.
- Create a new note or click on an existing one.
- Click Color in the menu bar at the top of your screen.
Click the color you'd like to use for that note.
How to arrange Stickies notes in a specific order
Do you make a ton of Stickies throughout your day? It can be difficult to keep track of them all, which is why you can arrange them in certain orders so you can get to what you want more quickly.
- Launch Stickies from the Dock or Finder.
- Click Window at the top of your screen.
- Click Arrange By.
Click an Arrangement option:
- Color: Arranges notes by color in reverse order of how they appear under Color
- Content: Arranges notes alphabetically by the first let in the note
- Date: Arranges notes by the time they were created — most recent at the bottom
Location on Screen: Arranges notes based on their location from left to right. Leftmost Stickies go at the top.
Upon arrangement, all of your Stickies will be collapsed into a tight stack of bars on the upper left of your screen.
How to expand Stickies notes
After you're arranged your Stickies into a nice neat stack, you may want to open them all up again and read them. Here's how:
- Launch Stickies from the Finder or Dock.
- Click on a collapsed note.
- Click Window in the menu bar at the top of your screen.
Click Expand. You can alternatively press Command-M on your keyboard.
If you've just arranged your Stickies notes but want to open them again, you can also hit Command-Z on your keyboard to undo the arrangement. This will only work if arranging them was the last thing you did.
How to save Stickies notes
If you'd like to save your Stickies for good or want to save them to share with friends, you can absolutely do so, though they only save as Plain Text (.txt) files.
- Launch Stickies from the Finder or Dock.
- Create a new note or click on an existing one.
- Click File on the top left of your screen.
- Click Export Text…
- Name your note and choose where you want to save it.
Click Save.
