Is Mac deployment controlled like the Apple iOS Developer Program does? I am beginner Apple developer.  I want to develop Mac and iOS software, but not for sale.  Only for personal use.

As I see to deploy my iOS program to my iPhone and my iPad I need to get iOS Developer Account.

Do I need a Mac Developer Account if I am not planning to deploy my software to Mac Application Store and if I am planning to use it only in my Macbook?
Without a Mac/iOS Developer account you won't:


get access to OS X betas
be able to publish your apps on the Mac App Store
be able to code sign your OS X / iOS apps. 


Code signing is needed if you want to run apps with Gate Keeper enabled.

There is no discount if you enroll in both developer programs.
