Since Apple hasn’t bothered to include a Retina category in the Mac App Store for owners of a shiny new $2,199 / 1,782 € MacBook Pro, three dudes with design inclinations decided they’d go the extra mile and create a hub for all the Mac apps that have been upgraded with Retina-grade graphics.

Wells Riley, Ian Hirschfeld, Alex Baldwin got together and created Retinamacapps.com, a site chock full of application icons designating the software that displays flawlessly on the new MacBook Pro’s crisp display.

Noteworthy titles include SpellTower, Things 2, Pixelmator, Skitch, CloudApp, Tweetbot (currently in alpha), Evernote, Google Chrome, Parallels, Sparrow, Transmission, VLC Player, and Apple’s own Keynote, Numbers, Final Cut Pro, Aperture, and Xcode.

Some links will take you to the Mac App Store, others will send you straight to the developer’s site. If you’re having trouble installing them in OS X Mountain Lion, this guide might lend a helping hand.
