Softonic

We spent the year talking about latest digital tools and AI. But for one full day, we went a little more analog, swapping screens for games, prizes, and a Catalan 'festa major' spirit. This year's offsite had it all: a casita, fair booths, a wine tasting, a pool, and one brilliant (and very competitive) team. 🎯 Summer is officially open! And this is how we come together☀️👇

Discovery is in our DNA. We see it as part of every experience, especially digital, and even more so with AI. But with thousands of new AI products, protocols and agents emerging at an unprecedented pace, keeping track of what actually matters is becoming increasingly difficult. So, we did what we've been doing best for almost 30 years now: we created a dedicated AI section within our global catalog with over 1.5 million apps. The #SoftonicAIHub is a curated destination to explore the tools, technologies, and trends shaping the next wave of AI. From emerging standards like MCP to the latest innovations, users can navigate by device, use case, or category to discover the best apps selected by experts. Our goal is simple: make discovery and downloads easier, safer and more seamless for builders, operators, business leaders and everyday users. 👉 Explore it here: en.softonic.com/ai #AIdriven #TechIndustry #SoftwareDiscovery

Diversity is much more than geography or language. It’s about backgrounds, cultures, perspectives, and experiences. That diverse mix is what makes us, us. ▶️👇Tell me you are a Softonico without telling you are from #Softonic. Happy #DiversityDay! #ComeAsYouAre #WorkplaceCulture

Google I/O 2026 confirmed what we've been watching build for months: AI agents are moving from experiment to everyday infrastructure. For us, this matters. Almost 30 years ago, #Softonic set out to help people find software they can trust. As AI-powered tools multiply faster than anyone can evaluate them, that role becomes more important, not less. And that's a commitment we take seriously: we will always adapt to be where our users are, and to make the #SoftwareDiscovery experience simple, seamless, and safe.

The real differentiator is still people. In an era of instant answers, those who know how to ask the best questions remain the greatest asset. AI executes and accelerates everything. But intent, context, and accountability are still human. Behind every prompt, there’s always someone deciding why. Happy Workers’ Day! #FutureOfWork #AIandPeople #WorkersDay

It’s been a busy week around here. The good kind. Yesterday, after our quarterly company meeting, we shifted gears into something just as important: learning. The Above & Beyond session was focused on AI, not as a buzzword, but as a hands-on experience. Together, we built prompts, skills, and worked on real projects using Claude. The guides? Our own colleagues. The internal experts and some of the sharp minds we’re lucky to have. There’s something powerful about learning from the people sitting right next to you. Even more so, in person. If yesterday ended with an afterwork, today started with another celebration. Sant Jordi greeted us with a rose on every desk. Book exchanging and a proper Catalan picapica were also in the menu of the day. A small but meaningful way to celebrate one of the most beloved traditions in Catalunya. A great team, and a great time. ✨🌹 #PeopleAndTech #FutureOfWork #LifeAtSoftonic

Would you know what was the most downloaded app globally on Softonic.com in 2025? If you have a guess, drop it in the comments. But if not, the answer is in our Global Download & Trends Report 2025. 👇 Based on more than 1.5 billion visits worldwide, the report maps what people are downloading, how their behaviour is shifting, and what trends are shaping software consumption. One thing that stands out: AI is no longer a standalone category. It's becoming an embedded layer across mainstream software, quietly powering the tools people already use every day. Another key insight is how Security and Privacy tools keep gaining relevance in a zero-trust environment. The full report has been prepared by Forvis Mazars, an independent global audit and consultancy firm, using Softonic's internal data. 🌍 Global data: https://lnkd.in/eReymduN 📍 Spain data: https://lnkd.in/e7Rmpsc2 #AppDiscovery #MostDownloadedApps #SoftwareTrends

How do you make trust more visible? That’s the central question driving what we do at Softonic, day after day. Today, we add one more answer to that. We’re launching the #ValidatedDeveloper badge across Softonic.com’s program and download pages. More than just a security marker, this badge is designed to empower the creators behind the code. It's a distinction for those developers registered with the Softonic Publishing Center (SPC) or other agreements. For us, it’s another step in a direction we’ve been committed to for a while: a catalogue that isn’t just large, but trustworthy by design. Swipe through to see what this means for developers and users. 👇 #DigitalTrust #SoftwareDistribution #SafeDownload

If #AI is the biggest value creation opportunity of our generation, so why are so few companies actually capturing it? 95% of companies are investing, but only 5% are generating real, measurable value from it. The gap isn't about technology, but what happens after we deploy it. According to McKinsey & Company's 'State of AI' report, 88% of organizations use AI in at least one business function. But only around one-third have begun to scale their programs across the enterprise. Adoption is broad. Value is concentrated. And the gap between the two is growing. Deloitte's 'State of AI in the Enterprise 2026' makes the picture even more concrete: 74% of organizations expect AI to drive revenue growth. Only 20% say it is doing so today. Meanwhile, worker access to AI has expanded by 50% in just one year, with tools widely available across most enterprise functions. The bottleneck is not access, it's activation. 💡What separates the leaders? #McKinsey is clear: high performers treat AI as a catalyst to transform their organizations, redesigning workflows and accelerating innovation, not just layering tools on top of existing processes. #Deloitte adds another dimension: 85% of companies expect to customize AI agents to fit the unique needs of their business. Those who are already doing it aren't just more efficient. They're competing differently. And the number of companies with 40% or more of AI projects in production is set to double in the next six months. The question for every C-suite right now is not "are we using AI?". Almost everyone is. The real question is: are we rewiring the business around it, or are we just running expensive pilots? The window to close that gap is narrowing fast. #AIStrategy #FutureOfWork #TechIndustry 🔗The State of AI (McKinsey): https://lnkd.in/eADN79Cd 🔗 State of AI in the Enterprise 2026 (Deloitte): https://lnkd.in/e4zSdmzK
