| Future of Silica Viewer | 2023-03-27 | false | Silica Viewer is leaving the App Store. |
|
I will not be renewing my Apple Developer License for various reasons [I've already discussed elsewhere]({{<ref "/blog/breaking-even" >}}). It is due to expire sometime in the summer, so there's still a couple of months before it disappears off the App Store. I'm actually losing money by selling my software on the App Store, and I don't really work on a Mac anymore. Plus more fun problems related to Apple infrastructure:

If you already bought Silica Viewer, nothing will change - you can continue to re-download it into perpetuity. This just means you can't pay money for it now, although I wouldn't want you to because I don't keep up with active development. As always, Silica Viewer is open source and free to use still.
For people looking for alternative software, check out Silicate by Avarel. It works on more platforms than Silica Viewer, and has a better rendering engine, along with other cool features! Thank you all who have supported by using my software, as always :)
