Adam Kos Of course, Apple is primarily a hardware company, but it also has its own operating systems for its products and, of course, applications that extend them with other functions. Apple currently releases the adult macOS applications Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro for iPads. But which other applications could follow them?
The first focuses on video, the second on sounds. The free alternative for the former is primarily iMovie, for the latter GarageBand. Both on iOS/iPadOS and macOS, you can also use the well-known office suite in the form of the titles Pages, Numbers, Keynote, for which Apple does not have professional alternatives. But there is something here that iPad owners could appreciate. There are also a trio of paid applications available for macOS, but they are rather specifically focused.

Motion – 1 CZK
The application is a powerful motion graphics tool designed especially for video editors. It allows you to easily create movie 2D and 3D subtitles, smooth transitions and realistic effects in real time. You can design everything here using easy-to-use templates or instantly convert any existing 2D title into 3D. There are also more than a hundred intuitive tools for text animation, and of course more than 90 different textures, from metal to wood to stone, etc. Everything you save here can also be directly imported into the Final Cut Pro application.
Compressor – 1 CZK
This Compressor integrates tightly with Final Cut Pro and Motion, adding power and flexibility to video conversions. In it, you can quickly adjust the output settings, improve the included images, and immediately publish the result in the iTunes Store. Apple states directly in the description of the application that this is an ideal optimization with the M1 Pro, M1 Max and M1 Ultra chips, so it is perhaps too demanding a title for use in iPads. On the other hand, it is possible that we will not see a more advanced type of chip in the iPad Pro. He would thus open the door to the arrival of this software.
MainStage – 799 CZK
This title lets you take your Mac to the stage, literally. It has an interface optimized for live performance and supports flexible hardware control, while offering a massive collection of plugins and sounds that are fully compatible with Logic Pro. Here, too, it is a supporting application for Apple's flagship title. This one also adds live playing of more than 100 instruments, instrument preset combining and much more like more than 5 sound presets, 900 sampled instruments and 1 loops from a wide spectrum of genres.
