They seem to have removed Affinity from the Mac App Store.

For those who want a lifetime license instead of freemium, Amandine* is similar to Affinity ($30 on Mac Store).

(I have no connection to either app).

* Edit: It's Amadine, not Amandine (my typo)



And if you want just a photo editor, not a vector software, I really recommend Pixelmator Pro. I've had it and Affinity Photo for years, but I find myself sticking with Pixelmator more often than not.


I got interested in Pixelmator Pro after Canva acquired Affinity, and then lost interest again when Apple bought them. They aren’t exactly good stewards of their own pro apps.


Apple bought Pixelmator. What is it's future?


Becoming free trash like Affinity.


Why would you assume this? None of their other pro apps (Logic, Final Cut, Motion) have done this.


Possibly free also.

I have been curious about Amadine for a few years, but honestly at this point it feels that if I’m going to invest any time in learning a new vector drawing tool (for like the fourth or fifth time), it’s probably a good idea to try Inkscape first. They were working on Affinity Designer file imports a few versions back.


Great tip, will give that a try! To find it in the Mac Appstore it is called 'Amadine' (without the 'n') It seems alright at first glance, thanks again for this tip.

Feels also more European since it is from Ukraine, supporting them feels good!
