Delicious Library

In November 2004, Delicious Monster released Delicious Library as a Mac OS X-only media library catalog application and generated $250,000 worth of sales. The software went on to win several Apple Design Awards, including Best Mac OS X User Experience and runner-up Best Product New to Mac OS X in 2005 and Best Mac OS X Leopard Application in 2007. It is currently available as version 3.

Until November 2024, Delicious Library was available through the official website Archived 2013-05-01 at the Wayback Machine and in the Mac App Store. It was taken down because the APIs used by the app were retired.
