Respuesta corta

MacPip lists 75 native Mac apps, and a person has checked 36 of them.38 de ellas tienen una versión gratuita.54 de ellas venden una licencia de pago único.11 de ellas se pagan por suscripción.There is no single best native Mac app for everyone, so MacPip does not rank them.Si lo quieres gratis, empieza por Statuz.

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

What these 75 apps offer, by their listings. An app can offer several, so the bars do not add up to 75.

What to look for

Native here means built with Apple's own tools rather than a web wrapper such as Electron, by its maker's word. Native apps tend to follow Mac conventions, but check each one yourself.
