MacX is an X11 server implementation that ran on System 7 (Macintosh), Mac OS 8, and Mac OS 9. Prior to X11R4 and the introduction of the PowerPC-based Power Macintosh, this server was developed internally for the Motorola 68000 by Apple Computer. Versions supporting X11R4 and X11R5 were developed for Apple by a small team of engineers at AGE Logic, Inc., a San Diego, California company. AGE also OEMed the MacX software under the trade name XoftWare for Macintosh. Apple provided early versions of the Power Macintosh to AGE Logic, and the result was a binary that supported both the Power Macintosh as well as earlier, 68000-based systems.

AGE Logic was later acquired by a Silicon Valley company named NetManage in the mid-1990s. Ironically, NetManage was (and still is) headquartered directly across the street from Apple in Cupertino, California. XoftWare for Macintosh was merged into NetManage's Macintosh product offering for the Macintosh, which included a wide variety of standalone Internet desktop applications (e.g., telnet, archie search engine, gopher protocol, ftp), along with various software titles, mainly terminal emulators that were acquired by AGE Logic when it purchased Pacer Software earlier in the decade.
