Mac Pages Numbers Keynote Free

As first spotted by MacRumors, Apple on Tuesday updated GarageBand, iMovie, Keynote, Pages, and Numbers for Mac and iOS, so that those apps are now free. Before today, those apps were free to users who bought a new Mac, iPhone, or iPad, and the free download was a one-time event. Now the apps are free all the time.

Before Tuesday, the iOS versions of Keynote, Pages, and Numbers were $10 each, while the Mac versions were $20 each. On iOS, GarageBand and iMovie were $5 each, while on the Mac, GarageBand was $5 and iMovie was $15. You can save a considerable amount of coin if you’ve put off buying any of these apps.

Mac users have it pretty good when it comes to office software, as Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are available for free for anyone who owns an Apple device. If you're looking to create a presentation on a Mac, Keynote is a very good place to start. Mac Users Can Download Pages, Numbers, Keynote, GarageBand, and iMovie for Free. Not only is Apple making its productivity suite free, but the company is also giving away its lifestyle apps. Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are Apple’s office/business productivity software applications. Originally a suite of software called iWork, these apps are roughly the equivalent of Microsoft Office’s Word, Excel, and PowerPoint – but implemented quite differently with Apple’s approach to design and functionality. Will Pages/Keynote/Numbers (ex. IWork) be free for old macs? Stack Exchange Network Stack Exchange network consists of 178 Q&A communities including Stack Overflow, the largest, most trusted online community for developers to learn, share their knowledge, and build their careers. Apple updates free Keynote, Pages and Numbers iWork apps to take on Microsoft Office. The tech giant adds video presentation tools, pivot tables and other features to beef up its apps.

Apple did not officially announce the price changes, nor did the company issue a policy statement to users who recently paid for any of the apps. The free versions are now available on the iTunes Store and the Mac App Store.

To collaborate on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you'll need an iPhone with iOS 14, an iPad with iPadOS 14, or a Mac with macOS Big Sur or later, and Pages, Numbers, or Keynote 11.2 or later.

To collaborate using Pages, Numbers, or Keynote online at iCloud.com, you'll need Safari 9.1.3 or later or Google Chrome for your Mac. For PC you'll need Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.

Invite others to collaborate

When you invite people to collaborate on a document, spreadsheet, or presentation, you send an iCloud.com link to them. Up to 100 people can view and edit a shared document at the same time.

The name of the document is included in the URL. If the title or content of the document is confidential, make sure to ask participants not to forward the link to anyone else.

You can also invite others to collaborate on Pages, Numbers, or Keynote documents by sharing a folder in iCloud Drive. When you share a folder, any Pages, Numbers, or Keynote documents in the shared folder automatically become collaborative documents to everyone the folder is shared with.

People you invite can open and view a shared document of any size. If your document is larger than 2 GB and you want those you invite to be able to edit it, use Pages, Numbers, or Keynote for iPhone, iPad, or Mac to reduce the document's size to less than 2 GB before inviting others.

If you want to see the documents that are shared:

Mac Pages Numbers Keynote Free Download

On your iPhone or iPad, tap Recents or the Recents button in the document manager. Your shared documents appear at the bottom of the screen.
On iCloud.com, click Shared in the document manager sidebar.

When editing a shared document, you can use all of the features of Pages, Numbers, and Keynote, with some exceptions. In Keynote, you can play a shared presentation online with multiple presenters.

See who's working on the document

To see who's joined the document, tap or click the Collaborate button . If you see a dot next to someone's name in list, it means they have the document open. Tap or click the dot to see where they are editing.

If you want to communicate with other participants, you can add and reply to comments without leaving Pages, Numbers, or Keynote using threaded comments.

Edit while offline

If you're not connected to the internet, you can still edit a shared document. Edits you make offline are saved for at least 30 days and upload to iCloud automatically when you go back online. Other participants will see your changes once your changes have uploaded. You can check the sync status of your document from the document manager on iPhone or iPad, or by choosing View > Show Sync Status on a Mac.

To send a copy of the document with your changes to someone else before your changes are uploaded, tap the More button on iPhone or iPad or click Share on Mac, then choose Send a Copy. If you attach a document from the Files app (on iPhone or iPad) or the Finder (on Mac), your changes won't be included. If someone you're collaborating with deletes an object, Keynote slide, or Numbers sheet you’ve edited offline, those edits won't be in the document when you’re back online and the document syncs with iCloud.

Collaborate on Keynote presentations

In Keynote, you can play a shared slideshow online with multiple presenters.

Any participant can initiate or join a multi-presenter slideshow. To initiate or join a mutli-presenter slideshow on Mac, open the shared presentation, then choose Play > Play Multi-Presenter Slideshow. On iPhone or iPad, tap the More button , then choose Multi-Presenter Slideshow. The person who will present the slides to the audience selects “Start as Host,” and can share their screen with video conferencing software. Other participants who join the multi-presenter slideshow see the presenter's display, and can take control of the slideshow to navigate slides at any time.

You can also use live video in a shared Keynote presentation. Participants can edit live video objects in the presentation and each participant can see live video from their own camera, but can't see live video from other participants. When a participant plays a slideshow on their iPhone, iPad, or Mac, they can show live video from their own device.

In a multi-presenter slideshow that has live video, only the participant that initiated the slideshow as the host can share live video from their own device. When other participants take control of the slideshow, the host's live video still appears in the slideshow.

Stop sharing a document

Open the document, then tap or click the Collaborate button > Stop Sharing, then tap or click OK.

When you stop sharing, the document is removed from iCloud Drive for all participants. If you re-share the document later, the link will remain the same. If you set the document's Share Option to 'Only people you invite,' you will need to re-invite participants.

To stop sharing a document that is inside a shared folder, move the document outside of the shared folder.

Features not supported with collaboration

If you need to use one of these features, stop sharing the document, make your changes, then share the document again.
