Best free utilities for Mac

Updated Nov 8, 2026, from what MacPip lists today.

Kurze Antwort

MacPip lists 10 free utilities for Mac, and a person has checked 2 of them.All of them have a free version.3 davon verkaufen eine einmalige Lizenz.1 davon wird per Abo bezahlt.There is no single best free utility for everyone, so MacPip does not rank them.Wenn du sie kostenlos willst, fang mit UsageBeacon an.

Apps a person checked come first, newest check first. Never ordered by payment.

What these 10 apps offer, by their listings. An app can offer several, so the bars do not add up to 10.
