Respuesta corta

MacPip lists 15 developer tools for Mac, and a person has checked 3 of them.10 de ellas tienen una versión gratuita.9 de ellas venden una licencia de pago único.2 de ellas se pagan por suscripción.There is no single best developer tool for everyone, so MacPip does not rank them.Si lo quieres gratis, empieza por Quotchi.

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

MacPip lists 15 developer tools for Mac. Many are small and sharp: a cleaner for node_modules and Docker caches, a file browser with Git built in, a control panel for Android emulators, and usage meters for Claude, Codex and Gemini limits.

10 have a free version and 3 are open source. The profiles below say what each one needs and what it touches.

What these 15 apps offer, by their listings. An app can offer several, so the bars do not add up to 15.

How to choose developer tools

  • Apple silicon builds. A tool you run all day should be native. The table shows what each maker says.
  • Install and update. Prefer tools that update themselves or come through a package manager you already use.
  • Permissions. Developer tools often ask for Full Disk Access or Accessibility. Grant only what the job needs.
