Setapp is an app service for Mac. For $10 a month you get access to almost 200 applications (not games) on one computer (they also have team and family plans). It's curated so a lot of the apps are pretty good and none of them are trash.

I looked at the apps list and they're pretty nice.

ChronoSync Express - file synchronizer, also can do backups
Mosaic - window organizer (I use an earlier version, Window Tidy)
PDFpen - edit PDFs
RapidWeaver - web site designer
Capto - screen recorder

The above I use and there are other Setapps that do similar things so it's not like you'll use more than a handful of apps regularly. Still, I guess if you are new to Mac this is a good place to start.

Then again, unlike games, once you've been using an app for a year or two it's hard to just quit using it. For example, it's not like I can export my RapidWeaver website and import it to another website editor. Similarly for a finance app or many productivity apps. So once you're on Setapp you're kind of stuck there or you can quit and buy the apps you really used.

The other question is what happens when an app is removed from Setapp. I assume you can still use it if you have it installed but what if you want to reinstall? Probably can't.

I think in the end I'm so-so on the concept of an app service. Game service I can see since you play a game and then you're done with it and really can stop subscribing to a game service with little consequences. Same for video services. I'm not sure I'd ever subscribe to an app service like Setapp.
