Desktop Insights

Desktop App IntelligenceTechnographics for macOS and Windows apps

Know what every desktop app is built with.

We download 28,684+ macOS and Windows apps and read the SDKs, frameworks, and dependency versions straight out of the shipped binaries — the layer BuiltWith and Wappalyzer can't see.

What you get back

Here's what one lookup returns

Runtime, versions, and SDK categories read from the shipped binary and re-extracted when a new version ships. The same JSON powers search, watchlists, and the API.

Live data for Slack. Browse every tracked app →

Platform

Search, watch, and enrich. Every record is extracted from the shipped app bundle, then joined with install counts, store ratings, and release history — so adoption can be weighted by reach, not just counted.

Find gaps

Positive & negative search

Find every app that ships Sentry — or the 19,719 that ship no error tracking at all.

Exact versions

Version-level dependencies

Not just “uses Electron”: Electron 28.1.0, Sentry 7.92.0, React 18.2.0 — each with a confidence band and the evidence it was detected from.

Per release

Watchlists & version history

Watch the apps you care about and see, release by release, when a dependency is added, dropped, or upgraded.

Clay · REST

CRM & pipeline enrichment

A flat sdkSummary object, install counts, and ratings, ready to drop into a Clay table through its HTTP API step — or any CRM that can call a REST endpoint.

Code signing

Security & compliance

97.1% of macOS apps are code-signed, but only 18.5% ship a privacy manifest. See hardened runtime, sandbox, and entitlements per app.

API access

REST API & bulk export

Lookup one app, search by what apps use or don't use, or stream the whole result set as CSV/NDJSON. Build on the same data that powers this site.

Who it's for

Four teams, one dataset, very different questions.

SDK vendors & sales

94%of analyzed apps ship no analytics SDK

Every app that hasn't bought your category is a prospect. Pull the list, weight it by install count, and push it into Clay.

Security & compliance

82%of macOS apps ship without a privacy manifest

Check code signing, entitlements, sandboxing, and pinned dependency versions for the apps your organization installs — before procurement, not after an incident.

Investors & analysts

13yrof release history

Release cadence, dependency churn, framework migrations. Engineering velocity as alternative data.

Developer tools

16.3%of tracked desktop apps ship on Electron

Size your market with what apps actually ship, not developer surveys.
