Mac OS X 10.1 (code named Puma) is the second major release of macOS, Apple's desktop and server operating system. It superseded Mac OS X 10.0 and preceded Mac OS X Jaguar. Mac OS X 10.1 was released on September 25, 2001, as a free update for Mac OS X 10.0 users.

It was subsequently distributed to Mac users on October 25, 2001, at Apple Stores and other retail stores that carried Apple products.
