Panic is known for their flagship app Transmit,
 Audion, Unison, and Nova (a successor to their web development app Coda). The company has won multiple Apple Design Awards for their products.
In 1999, Audion was introduced as a skinnable MP3 digital audio player. One of its competitors, SoundJam MP, was acquired by Apple in 2000 and was further developed into iTunes 1.0, which became available in 2001. Panic retired Audion in 2004 and began distributing it free of charge.
After Audion, Panic focused development on two other software applications. In 2004, they released Unison, a Usenet reader. In 2007, the web development application Coda was introduced.
 In 2019, Panic announced a successor to Coda named Nova. Panic also indicated that Coda would be removed from sale when Nova is released, and that an iOS version of the application may follow after launch.
