OpenOffice
Apache OpenOffice is a free, open-source office productivity suite that provides alternatives to Microsoft Office applications. It includes Writer (word processing), Calc (spreadsheets), Impress (presentations), Draw (graphics), Base (databases), and Math (formula editing). OpenOffice is widely used by individuals, students, and organizations who need basic office functionality without the cost of commercial alternatives. The suite can open and save files in Microsoft Office formats, making it compatible with most standard business documents.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionApache OpenOffice appears to be largely abandoned for macOS development, with the current version 4.1.16 still being Intel-only and failing Apple's security checks (Gatekeeper). The project has seen minimal development in recent years. I strongly recommend switching to LibreOffice, which is a more actively maintained fork of OpenOffice that offers native Apple Silicon support and regular security updates. LibreOffice provides the same core applications (Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Base, Math) with better performance, modern features, and active development. It can seamlessly open your existing OpenOffice documents and offers superior compatibility with Microsoft Office formats.
