๐๐๐ซ๐ญ ๐ - Granular Warfare
This is all the granular stuff I've tried and used along the years excluding my own developed tools or C'74 Max stuff, strictly from small indpenendent and very clever developers.
๐๐ฎ๐๐ข๐จ๐ซ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ ๐๐ซ๐๐ข๐ง๐ฌ๐ฉ๐๐๐ Audiority (Mac/PC)

kind of hi-fi MI Clouds to blow your DAW

๐๐๐ฅ๐ญ๐ฒ ๐๐ซ๐๐ข๐ง SampleSumo (Mac/PC)
based on KTGranulator by Koen Tage from Smartelectronix which modeled from Audiomulch Grain Delay. A piece of history.

๐ข๐๐๐ง๐ฌ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ / ๐ข๐๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ฌ๐๐ซ๐๐ญ apeSoft (iOS)
probably my favourite dev because of the technological accuracy,
also Stria and other non granular stuff is a must have. iVCS3 is terrific.

๐๐จ๐ซ๐๐๐ซ๐ฅ๐๐ง๐๐ฌ ๐๐ซ๐๐ง๐ฎ๐ฅ๐๐ซ Borderlands Granular(iOS)
most known granular engine recently updated with very cool stuff
http://www.borderlands-granular.com/app/
๐๐๐ซ๐๐ข๐ ๐ซ๐๐ข๐ง (iOS)
love it because of very a deep chords management plus a bunch of interesting options if you use MPE and a very good sounding granular engine

๐๐ฎ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ข๐จ ๐๐๐ฆ๐๐ ๐ (iOS)
powerful and rich sound with very interesting modulation matrix

๐๐๐ซ๐ญ 3 - Granular Secret Grimoire
My fav++ granular stuff for Cycling '74 Max 8 and Max 4 Live.
Both free stuff from research centers and paid stuff from clever indie devs.
๐๐๐๐๐ by Circuit Music Lab (Mac/PC)
http://circuitmusiclabs.com/projects/petra-for-max/
pretty strong and streamlined granular suite based on asynchronous engine. Several interesting options and quite low CPU impact.
๐ฆ๐ฎ๐๐ฎ.๐ ๐ซ๐๐ง๐ฎ๐ฅ๐๐ซ~ by IRCAM MuBu (Mac/PC)
http://ismm.ircam.fr/mubu/
probably the best granular engine out there because of the endless possibilities provided by the whole MuBu stuff including some simple Machine Learning implementations.
๐ฌ๐ฉ๐ข๐ง๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ญ~ by Michael Norris (Mac)
http://michaelnorris.info/software
this is pretty astonishing also because some spatial management stuff is directly integrated into the external. Unfortunately only for Mac.
Worth buy a second hand macbook just to use this unportable wonder.
๐๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ฌ๐๐ซ๐๐ญ / ๐๐๐ง๐ฌ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ by apeSoft + Amazing Noises
https://www.amazingnoises.com/proโฆ/density-m4l-pulsaret-m4l/
porting of iDensity and iPulsaret for iPad you can use in your Ableton project.
Perfect for huge and deep texture forging.
๐๐ซ๐๐ข๐ง ๐๐๐๐ง๐ง๐๐ซ by Amazing Noises
https://www.ableton.com/โฆ/pacโฆ/grain-scanner-amazing-noises/#?
very clever way of using synchronous granulation with a pretty huge modulation
matrix and a "layer" function to add depth and body to your sounds
Special Mention
๐๐๐๐ by Dillon Bastan
https://www.ableton.com/en/packs/iota/
FFT based mangler / spectral looper / this indie developer and media artist made some absurd amazing stuff for you to play.
