MakeApp

MakeApp is a macOS utility designed to convert Python scripts into standalone macOS applications with minimal effort. It automates the process of bundling required files and dependencies, removing the need to manually collect runtimes, frameworks, or configure complex build steps.

The tool is built for developers who want a fast, local, and practical way to package Python projects as macOS apps without relying on the Mac App Store or heavy external build systems. MakeApp focuses on simplicity, speed, and transparency, keeping the workflow straightforward and under the developer’s control.

MakeApp itself is clean, lightweight, and does not include malware, tracking, or hidden components. Any app signing or notarization for distribution is handled separately by the developer according to their own requirements and preferences.
This project distributes binary builds only. The software remains proprietary, and all rights are retained by the author.
