Peacockmedia have been making apps for OSX, or MacOS as it is now, since the early 2000's. We're responsible for the best free link checker for mac, Integrity, and its enterprise versions, Integrity Pro and Scrutiny.
Here you'll also find other useful apps and utilities such as measuring tool Meander and the album art screensaver, ScreenSleeves.
Some are new, and very much in development, such as Webscraper, which can scan a website and extract data, such as the page's meta data, content (converted to plain text or markdown) or parts of the page extracted by class or id, or by regex pattern.
We give top quality support and are always happy to help with problems, answer questions, hear suggestions.

Dendrite is not a visual design tool or wysiwyg website creator / editor. Dendrite is closer to a development environment than a content management system. It's for you if you want to hand-code or already have your code and want to manage the site as code rather than visually. It contains a number of features and tools which will help you to do this.
