Best free Mac apps

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

Kort antwoord

MacPip lists 82 Mac apps with a free version for Mac, and a person has checked 34 of them.All of them have a free version.33 ervan verkopen een eenmalige licentie.21 ervan worden betaald via een abonnement.There is no single best free app for everyone, so MacPip does not rank them.Als je een gratis app wilt, begin dan met ZLogin.

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

MacPip lists 82 Mac apps with a free version. Free here means you can use the app without paying, not a trial that ends after a week. Some are free and open source, some are free with a paid Pro tier, and a few are free because their makers want them to be.

The table shows them all, with what the paid tier costs where there is one. The profiles below are the ones a person checked most recently.

What these 82 apps offer, by their listings. An app can offer several, so the bars do not add up to 82.

What "free" can hide

  • Limits. A free version may cap exports, items or actions per day. The profiles and price column say so where the listing does.
  • Accounts and data. Free apps still need to make money somewhere. Check whether one asks for an account or sends your data to a server.
  • Open source. 19 of these apps are open source, so you can read the code. See open source Mac apps.

Free by job

Looking for a free app for one job? See free productivity apps, free AI apps, free developer tools and free menu bar apps, where those lists are big enough to exist.
