Updated Nov 8, 2026, from what MacPip lists today.
MacPip lista 36 apps para Mac de la categoría «Productividad», y una persona ha revisado 15 de ellas.14 de ellas tienen una versión gratuita.27 de ellas venden una licencia de pago único.7 de ellas se pagan por suscripción.There is no single best productivity app for everyone, so MacPip does not rank them.Si lo quieres gratis, empieza por Caddie.
Apps a person checked come first, newest check first. Never ordered by payment.
Productivity is the biggest shelf on MacPip, with 36 apps. That is also why "best productivity app" is a slightly odd question: a Pomodoro timer, a bookmark manager and a menu bar dashboard are all productivity apps, and none of them replaces the others.
So read this page as a map. The table shows every app with its price and how it charges. The profiles below show what each one actually does, so you can find the one that removes your own daily friction, not someone else's.
27 of these apps sell a one-time license and 14 have a free version, so there is plenty here that never becomes another monthly bill.
