Spider

What is Spider?

Spider is a native Mac card game focused on Spider Solitaire, a classic patience game built around arranging cards into completed sequences. It is designed for people who want a straightforward desktop solitaire experience with mouse-friendly controls and smoother gameplay than a browser tab. Typical use includes short breaks, casual play, and repeat sessions for players who enjoy logic-based card games and progressively harder layouts. The broader Solitaire app from Holger Sindbaek includes Spider alongside other familiar solitaire variants, with options such as hints, undo, autoplay, and adjustable settings for play style and presentation. On macOS, it fits best as a simple entertainment app for users who want an offline-friendly solitaire game available directly on their Mac.

Safety overview

Status: Safe

This is a legitimate solitaire game for macOS. It normally does not require unusual system privileges to do its job, and typical access should be limited to ordinary app storage and settings. If you no longer use it, removing the app may also remove saved preferences or local game progress.

Recommendation: Keep Spider if you play solitaire on your Mac and want a dedicated desktop version. If you do not use it, you can remove it with little impact beyond losing the app and any local game settings or progress tied to it.
