| Purpose | PalworldModManager is a native macOS Apple Silicon mod manager for Palworld that detects the game, injects the UE4SS loader, and manages mods and profiles. | RimSort is a community managed mod manager and sorter for the game RimWorld. |
| Security and signing | The app is ad-hoc signed and not notarized, so macOS Gatekeeper blocks the first launch until the user allows it in Privacy & Security settings. | The project says its compiled Python releases can trigger antivirus false detections and that mitigating detections requires code signing certificates; its FAQ provides no macOS signing solution other than paying Apple. |
| Supported platforms | macos | multi-platform |

RimSort
RimSort is a free, GPL-3.0 community mod manager and sorter for RimWorld, with Windows, macOS, and Linux support. It orders mod lists from mod data, community rules, and Steam data, while detecting conflicts and warning about missing dependencies or incompatibilities. Lists can be imported, exported, saved, and appended. SteamworksPy connects with the Steam client and can launch the game through the Steam API; the Steam Browser downloads Workshop mods through SteamCMD or the client, even without a Steam RimWorld copy. RimSort also handles Git-based mods and databases, shares logs through 0x0.st, and shares mod lists through Rentry.co. Its todds DDS encoder offers three texture-optimization presets. Database tools build, compare, merge, publish, and edit rules. Optional external metadata databases require separate configuration. Releases may trigger antivirus false detections, and Snap-installed Steam is unsupported on Linux.
