The Usenet client options for Mac have been fairly sparse since the Panic team decided to discontinue development of Unison in 2014. You still have apps like Newshosting that are maintained by Usenet providers but very few choices for those who want to connect to multiple Usenet services. That’s why we’re excited to share the news of a new Mac client called Usenetic from the Xorox team located in Rotterdam, Netherlands. You can try the new Mac client for free. In fact the Xorox team is currently offering all new users a 7 day free trial to test the app. You will also have full access to the MegaSearch Usenet search engine built into the app.
After the 7 day free trial of Usenetic you can buy a license at a 50% discounted price of €14.99 during their launch promotion. Your purchase includes a lifetime license for Usenetic along with a year of MegaSearch which is their built-in Usenet search engine. After that you can continue using MegaSearch for €9.99 a year. Depending on how much retention your Usenet provider supports, you can search for content across over 10 years of binary and text articles with the client. The app requires Mac OS X v10.10 or later.
Usenetic is an ultra fast, full featured usenet client for Mac OSX with integrated browse and search engine, with a retention beyond 10 years of posted binary and textual usenet articles. Features like auto repair and extract, watchdog auto download, bandwidth limitation, statistics, posting files and articles, full NZB file support, NZB watch. SABnzbd (sabnzbd.org) hardly needs an introduction as the popular open-source Usenet browser has been downloaded millions of times over the years. SABnzbd runs in your web browser. It is available in 16 languages for Windows, Mac, and Unix. It is also a good choice for Synology NAS devices. The two best NZB downloaders for handling obfuscated Usenet posts and files are: NZBGet - web-browser based for Windows, Android, macOS and Linux SABnzbd - web-browser based for Windows, macOS, Unix and NAS devices.

We haven’t tested Usenetic yet so we can’t speak to the quality of the app. We’ll circle back in a couple weeks and post a full review. In the meantime we wanted to share the news so you can test out Usenetic for yourself. As always we welcome you to share your impressions with us via Twitter. We look forward to hearing what you think of the new Mac Usenet client.
