Panic is an Oregon-based American software company that specializes in shareware applications for Mac OS. It was founded by Steven Frank and Cabel Sasser.

Their first program release was Transmit, an FTP client, in 1998. The program currently competes with Fetch, Interarchy and Cyberduck, the other popular FTP clients for Mac OS X. Transmit has won a number of design awards, including "Macworld" Best of Show and a 2005 Apple Design Award, for the Best Use of Mac OS X Tiger Technologies.

Audion, released in 1999, was a skinnable MP3 media player that competed with MacAMP and SoundJam MP the only other Mac OS MP3 players at the time. Once Apple's iTunes was released in 2001, Audion's days were numbered and by 2005, Panic retired Audion's development and began releasing it free of charge.

In 2004, Panic released their third major program, Unison, a Usenet reader. Unison also won an 2004 Apple Design Award, for Best Mac OS X User Experience, and was runner-up for Best Mac OS X Product of the year.

In 2007, the company released their fourth major program, Coda, a web development application for which Panic was awarded the 2007 Apple Design Award for Best User Experience, taking the award for a 2nd time.
