MacPaw shuts down Setapp Mobile on iOS by February 16, 2026

MacPaw will sunset Setapp Mobile for iOS on February 16, 2026, removing all apps from the platform and requiring users to transfer data beforehand; the move is tied to evolving business terms under the EU's Digital Markets Act and reflects limited user uptake of third-party iOS app stores. The company will refocus on other initiatives, including Eney and Setapp Desktop enhancements, with CEO Oleksandr Kosovan noting the current model isn’t viable.

"Setapp: The First Alternative iOS App Store to Embrace Apple's Controversial DMA Rules in the EU"

MacPaw's Setapp is among the first to adopt Apple's new DMA rules in the EU, offering its subscription-based platform of curated apps to Apple customers on iOS and Mac in the region. Despite pushback from other companies, MacPaw plans to offer a beta version of Setapp in the EU in April, featuring premium, ad-free apps from over 20 developers across various categories. The move comes amid controversy over Apple's new core technology fee, which has been criticized by several companies. While it remains to be seen if this will be a profitable move for MacPaw, the company is committed to investing in the opportunity and enhancing the customer experience.

MacPaw's Setapp will be available as an alternative app marketplace on the iPhone in the EU starting in April, offering a curated collection of popular apps for a monthly subscription. This move is part of Apple's changes to comply with the Digital Markets Act, and Setapp will provide a carefully selected assortment of productivity, creative, lifestyle, utility, and specialized professional tools. The changes do not apply outside of the EU, nor do they apply to iPadOS in any country.
