Among the functions of the free analogue are present:

iWork
A peculiar alternative to the Microsoft office package. It is a set of programs for working with texts and tables. There is also a utility for creating presentations. In general, there is everything you need to complete standard tasks or implement simple projects in your studies.

Final Cut Pro
The editor is popular among those whose job is to edit or edit video clips. It is very expensive - 23,000 rubles. (because it is an Apple product), however, a fairly large functionality and a high level of ease of use are worth it.

You can use iMovie as a free alternative. It comes with new computers, but has significantly less functionality.
