Solitaire Til Dawn does cost $4.99 from the Mac App Store but it’s well worth it as there are so many solitaire games to try, you’re sure to find more than just Freecell to enjoy.
3. Full Deck Solitaire
Full Deck Solitaire remains one of the most elegant and well-loved solitaire collections for Mac, now offering a robust 83 game variants, plus daily challenges to keep things fresh.

4. BVS Solitaire Collection
If you’re looking for a modern, well-maintained alternative to older collections like Solitaire Forever, BVS Solitaire Collection is one of the best picks for Mac in 2025.
It comes with over 570 solitaire variations, from classics like FreeCell, Klondike, and Spider, to unique BVS-created games you won’t find anywhere else.
You can even tweak the rules of many games to create your own variants, which adds a lot of replay value.
BVS Solitaire Collection also tracks detailed statistics, lets you replay lost games, and runs smoothly on the latest versions of macOS, including Apple Silicon Macs.
A free trial is available, and the full license costs $19.95 from the developer’s website.
5. Freecell (Free)
The developer of Freecell Alisdair McDiarmid was once a favorite, but development has officially stopped. The last version still works on older macOS releases like Mountain Lion and some newer ones, but it may struggle or not launch properly on the latest macOS Sequoia or Sonoma.
It offers basics like Undo, Redo, Hint, and Game History, plus the neat feature of playing against Windows Freecell players online. However, since it’s discontinued, compatibility and support are limited.
If you want a straightforward Freecell experience without fuss, it’s worth trying, just be aware it might not run perfectly on the newest Macs.
6. Freecell+
Freecell+ is another popular version of Freecell that looks great, has plenty of options and is probably the closest of the lot to the simplicity of the Microsoft Windows version of Freecell.
It also keeps time, number of moves and gives you hints if you get stuck.
7. Freecell-Cardgame.com (Online)
If you want to start playing Freecell instantly and not download anything, then Freecell Online is your best bet.
It’s not very fancy, and there aren’t many options but it includes the rules and it’s perfect for those that don’t want to install anything on their Mac.
8. Greenfelt Freecell
Another online version of Freecell, Greenfelt Freecell looks slick and has a few more options than Freecell-Cardgame.com.
There’s a high score table and an Auto-Finish button if you give-up.
9. Solitaire King (Free)
Solitaire King is based on HTML5 and so it works in any browser on any platform including Mac.
Solitaire King is pretty nifty and allows you to change the appearance of card decks and backgrounds, toggle 3D effects, undo moves, show the rules and see your game stats although you must sign-up for a free account in order to access your stats.
You can also change from a range of different Freecell games including Klondike, Forty Thieves, Easthaven and many more.
We hope one of these games helps you enjoy Freecell or Solitaire on your Mac.
