Is there a free MAX runtime player for people without MAX to play others' work?

Greetings MaxMSP community!

I am getting back into MAX development after a hiatus of over a decade. It's really great to see the amazing things people are doing!

Back in the day, before Max for Live, I remember there was a sort of 'player' that could be freely distributed so an audience could listen to, and interact with but not edit, the creations of a Max artist. Like the Flash plug-in but for Max.

My question is, do we still have such a thing?

I have some good ideas I'd love to create in Max and be able to distribute to the public.
I did a quick search but was quickly distracted by these shiny new tools people are making!

Thanks much.

"we’ve eliminated the need for a separate Max runtime. You can use the regular version of Max after the demo period to open and even edit patchers; you just can’t save"

Also you can build apps for win or mac... (File -> Build Application)
