Signed and notarised
Signed with your Developer ID and submitted to Apple's notarisation service, so customers can open the app without fighting a security warning.
VPN apps
Branded macOS VPN Client
A Mac VPN client carrying your brand, signing in against your admin panel and sharing one account system with your mobile, TV and Windows applications.
Context
The platform your business customers notice is missing
Mac users are a minority of most VPN customer bases and a majority of some. If you sell to agencies, studios, developers, consultants or business customers in Mac-heavy markets, a missing Mac client is the reason a deal stalls — not because the customer cannot use their phone, but because it signals that your product is incomplete.
A Mac client is usually the fourth or fifth platform a VPN business adds, after Android, TV and Windows. That order reflects volume rather than importance: by the time you add macOS, your panel, packages and support processes are settled, so the build is straightforward.
The client
Native-feeling, and out of the way
Mac customers notice when software does not follow the conventions of the platform. The client is built to feel like a Mac application: a compact window, sensible keyboard behaviour and a menu bar presence where that suits your scope.
- Sign-in with the account created in your panel
- One clear connect and disconnect control
- Location list limited to what the customer's package allows
- Plan, expiry date and days remaining always visible
- Your name, icon, colours and wording throughout
Panel integration
Nothing platform-specific about the rules
The Mac client behaves exactly like the rest of your apps because it asks the same admin panel the same questions.
- One username across macOS, Windows, Android, TV and iOS
- Expiry enforced by the panel, identically on every platform
- Device limits counted across all platforms together
- New server locations appear without a new download
- Accounts created by resellers or billing automation work immediately
Distribution
Signing, notarisation and download
On macOS, the technical steps that make software installable are as important as the software itself.
Hosted on your website
The download sits on your own domain alongside your pricing and support pages, keeping the whole journey inside your brand.
Mac App Store optional
If you want a store listing as well, that is a separate submission and review. Apple decides what it publishes, so we prepare it properly rather than promise a result.
Questions
macOS VPN client FAQ
For a client distributed from your own website you still need an Apple Developer account to sign and notarise the application, otherwise macOS will refuse to open it normally. If you also want it in the Mac App Store, that is a separate submission and review.
It is Apple's automated check on software distributed outside the App Store. Without it, a customer downloading your client sees a warning that the app cannot be opened — and most non-technical customers stop there.
Yes. Same panel, same accounts, same expiry rules and the same device limit as your Windows, Android, TV and iOS apps.
It depends on your market. If you sell to business customers, designers, developers or anyone in a Mac-heavy region, the absence of a Mac client is a visible gap. If your customer base is almost entirely mobile, it can wait.
Currently supported macOS versions are the target. The exact range is confirmed in your written scope, because it depends on the components used in your build.
