Updated Nov 7, 2026, from what MacPip lists today.
简短回答
MacPip lists 10 free developer tools for Mac, and a person has checked 3 of them.All of them have a free version.其中有 4 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 free 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.
What these 10 apps offer, by their listings. An app can offer several, so the bars do not add up to 10.
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.
