Before Mac OS X reigned supreme, there was System 1 through System 9, which spanned 17 years from 1984 to 2001. 1984 - 2001 (56 images). We preserve collections of more than one million artifacts and archival materials, including a comprehensive collection of art, historical objects, and textiles from this region, a significant research archive, and the largest known collection of Plateau Indian art and artifacts.
MacPaw is a software development company with headquarters in Kyiv, Ukraine that produces software cleaning tools and various apps for macOS and iOS. The company was founded in 2008.[1][2]
MacPaw was founded in 2008 by Oleksandr Kosovan, while he was still an undergraduate student at Kyiv Polytechnic Institute. Kosovan named the company 'MacPaw' after Apple's operating systems Mac OS X 10.0 and Mac OS X Tiger (code namedCheetah and Tiger) at the time.[3] The company started out with the launch of CleanMyMac in 2008, a software cleaning tool for Apple's MacBook, which remains its main product until nowadays.[2][4] The company was bootstrapped and Kosovan wrote the first code himself.[5][2]
In January 2017, MacPaw launched its next product Setapp, a subscription service for apps.[6][7]
In 2016, the company released Gemini2, a space recovery and cleaning software program with main function of searching and removing excessive files.[8][9][10][11]
The company merged software development and distribution tool DevMate into Paddle's e-commerce platform in May 2017.[12][13] The same year, MacPaw acquired The Unarchiver, a proprietary freeware for files unpacking, and Wallpaper Wizard, a desktop backgrounds app.[14][2][15]
Since 2016, MacPaw has published an annual survey of developers of Mac apps.[16][17]
MacPaw holds a private collection of working Apple computers and devices. The collection began when Kosovan purchased the Mac Museum from now defunct Tekserve and later expanded after Kosovan acquired another large collection from a Polish private collector.[2][18][19][20]
