# macOS
macOS is the operating system designed and developed by [Apple](../internet/websites/clearnet/Apple.md) Inc. exclusively for its Macintosh line of computers. Known for its elegant user interface, seamless integration with [Apple](../internet/websites/clearnet/Apple.md) hardware, and a focus on user experience, macOS has evolved through various iterations. macOS was originally based on [FreeBSD](../bsd/FreeBSD.md) and is UNIX like for this reason.
