The most popular Mac apps, by real installs
Not a list of favorites. These are the 50 Mac apps people actually installed the most in the last 30 days, counted from Homebrew.
更新日 2026年11月8日
On November 8, 2026, the top three are LibreOffice, Docker Desktop and Microsoft Visual Studio Code. 50件すべて見る, or how it's ranked.
Most "best Mac apps" lists are somebody's taste. That's fine, but it's not the question "what do people really use?". So here is a list with no opinions in the order: the Mac apps installed most often through Homebrew, the free package manager a lot of Mac people use to set up a new Mac.
It leans toward people who are comfortable with a terminal, so developer tools rank higher than they would in the Mac App Store. Apps that only ship through the App Store, like Final Cut Pro or Things, can't appear at all. Keep that in mind and it's a surprisingly honest picture.
- Source: Homebrew's public install analytics (formulae.brew.sh), which count installs by people who leave Homebrew's anonymous analytics on. App names and descriptions come from each Homebrew cask.
- Read on: November 8, 2026. The 30 days run from October 9, 2026 to November 8, 2026. MacPip reads it again every week.
- Ranked by: installs in the last 30 days. Nobody can pay for a place, and MacPip apps get no boost.
- Included: Casks that install a Mac app (an .app bundle). Command line tools, fonts and drivers are left out, and so are deprecated and disabled casks.
If you only add one free app from this list, make it Stats. It puts CPU, memory, network and battery in the menu bar, it's open source, and you stop wondering why the fan just turned on.

質問
What is the most popular Mac app right now?
By installs through Homebrew in the 30 days to November 8, 2026, it is LibreOffice, with 56,542 installs. Then Docker Desktop and Microsoft Visual Studio Code.
Where do these numbers come from?
From Homebrew's public analytics. Homebrew counts each install by people who leave its anonymous analytics switched on, and publishes the totals for 30, 90 and 365 days. 2,527,744 cask installs were counted in the last 30 days.
Why is my favorite app missing?
Apps sold only in the Mac App Store are not in Homebrew, so they cannot show up here. Apps installed by downloading them from the maker's site are not counted either. This is one honest slice of Mac use, not all of it.
How often is this list updated?
Every week. MacPip reads Homebrew's numbers again when the copy it has is 7 days old, and the date at the top of the page is the day the numbers were read.
