Table of contents

Mac OS X Freeware

Native Software

  • Sen:te Goban See also the [ext] product web page. There is also an [ext] open source version (with substantially fewer features) available. As of 12/13/2013 the freeware version is unavailable, but version 3.2.1 is still available as a [ext] demo for version 4.x
    • rmsp: As of version 3.2.1, Goban is excellent. The best IGS client for OS X. (Out of date - as of 2020 the software no longer works).
    • SenteGoban can also be used to browse/edit SGF File games, not just to play against gnugo or on the Go Servers.
  • SGF-Tools A free, open-source project of SGF file utilities for OSX. Currently has an SGF file Spotlight metadata importer that allows the user to quickly search for one or more SGF properties such as Event, Result, Winner, Handicap, etc. Also adds the most important properties to the More Info section of the OSX file Get Info window. Latest update includes a Quicklook view generator showing board positions in preview, coverflow, and large icon view. [ext] Project Home
  • [ext] Stones . . . . . see [ext] gostones.free.fr @ web.archive.org with a description and some screenshots
    • Scartol: The Stones website also features a nifty screensaver for OSX which replays SGF files. (And it comes with a collection of over 700 games)
    • nachtrabe: Development seems to have stopped on Stones, though it is still available and a more up-to-date version (that includes editing capabilities) is available from CVS.
    • Last version (0.7) does not run on OS X 10.6 or later
  • [ext] StoneSaver
    • eluusive?: This screensaver version of Stones still seems to be active.
  • [ext] Gomo (by Henk Eskes)
    • Scartol: this I like best for OSX. It's slim and quick and uses very intuitive keyboard navigation. It's still a bit OS9-like, but it's a great little app.
    • OS X version does not run on 10.9

Macintosh Commercial Programs

  • IgoSensei was a port of the Many Faces of Go engine, version 11, to Mac OS X for Power PC. It is no longer for sale. Windows Many Faces runs on Macs using Wine or Crossover.

Mac OS 9 Go / Mac Classic

  • Go Intellect by Ken Chen is a strong kyu level program for the Macintosh which used to place at computer go competitions. It appears to be still available from Yutopian .
  • Goliath by Mark Boon has a Mac version. (He has a free version which only plays 9x9 and 13x13). More information about it, along with a non-working link to Mark Boon's site and ordering information, can be found on the [ext] Het Paard website.
