Standalone apps built entirely in MaxMSP

Hi! Is there anywhere on the Internet where to check apps developed entirely in MaxMSP? I would like to see what kind of projects people can do.

I would say that would be no real source of information that you look for.

Most custom max apps for professional usage never get posted public,

maybe few do.

check here

but again, only people willing to share and bang about what they did are visible in internet.

I can think of VPT (Video Projection Tool). You can download the .exe or .app standalone, as well as the source here.

Signal Culture suite of apps are a good example https://signalculture.org/sc-modular-apps.html

while it is absolutely possible to create regular apps, most people tend to develop only patches and use them in max runtime and full max since it is more flexible to use, for example to use it in conjunction with other projects, or to be able to refer to open source compiled objects which could not be included otherwise.

and then of course there are a lot of people who prototype in max and then switch to C++ for a broader release.

@Roman, so if I understand correctly, it would be possible to prototype something in max and later embed of insert that into an application made using Swift language? For example building a small instrument in max and then place that instrument inside a phone application developed totally in Swift.

Traditional max object based patches will remain max only.

Of course you can prototype anything and then try to rebuild it in different platforms.

gen and rnbo are gates to outer world

you asked about swift
