Updated Nov 8, 2026, from what MacPip lists today.
简短回答
MacPip lists 15 developer tools for Mac, and a person has checked 3 of them.其中有 10 款有免费版本。其中有 9 款出售一次性买断授权。其中有 2 款按订阅付费。There is no single best developer tool for everyone, so MacPip does not rank them.如果你想要免费的,先看 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.

One-time price in US dollars, as each listing states it, lowest first. 10 apps have no plain dollar one-time price and are left out. Launch prices count where the listing says so.
From its maker: Quotchi keeps Claude Code, Codex and optional Gemini usage visible in the Mac menu bar. It shows remaining limits, reset times and which tool has room, with widgets, alerts at custom thresholds and an optional run-out estimate.
From its maker: Free ADB GUI and Android Emulator control panel for macOS. One click for dark mode, font scale, RTL and pseudo-locales, TalkBack, layout bounds, network speed and GPS: no adb commands.
From its maker: BucketMate is a fast, native S3 client for Mac, with iOS and web versions too. Connect AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, Backblaze B2, Google Cloud Storage, DigitalOcean Spaces, Wasabi, MinIO, Supabase, Hetzner, Tigris and any S3-compatible endpoint in one place.

From its maker: A cross-platform terminal dashboard for your GitHub account, profile, social, activity, languages, repo health and network at a glance, auto-refreshed. Written in Go with BubbleTea.
Lancetta reads the quota of Codex and Claude Code and tells you when to push on, slow down or switch. It is a free, native menu bar app for macOS 15 Sequoia or later.
From its maker: A native macOS app that combines file browsing with Git intelligence. See branch, status, changes, and diffs for all your repositories at a glance.
From its maker: MacVisor turns an Apple Silicon Mac into a virtualization host for developers, admins, and teams who need desktop and always-on headless VMs. What it does: - Runs macOS, Linux, FreeBSD, and Windows 11 VMs natively on Apple Silicon - Takes live or disk snapshots, makes instant linked clones, and manages backups and reusable templates.
Switchy gathers everyday Mac switches into one menu bar panel: Dark Mode, Keep Awake, mic mute, Do Not Disturb and DNS. It also follows deployments on Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare and Railway, keeps 2FA codes behind Touch ID, and shows when Claude and Codex limits reset. It is $4.99 once for up to 3 Macs, with a 7-day trial, on Apple silicon with macOS 14 or later.
From its maker: An open-source colour picker app for macOS Pika (pronounced pi·kuh, like picker) is an easy to use, open-source, native colour picker for macOS.
From its maker: Native SSH workspace for Apple Silicon Macs, macOS 14.2+. - Tabbed SSH terminals and saved connections - Local/remote SFTP files and remote editing - Docker/Compose management and live server monitoring Basic SSH is free for personal non-commercial use; broader tools need Pro/trial.
