Apple Creator Studio is a subscription service provided by Apple that bundles several premium and freemium productivity services and software together. It was launched on January 28, 2026. The subscription gives access to all of its current pro apps applications, and allows users to access additional content and capabilities on applications in the iWork suite and Freeform app.

The subscription competes with other services, including Adobe Creative Cloud, Microsoft 365, and Google Workspace.

Apple announced the Creator Studio on January 13, 2026. The suite consolidates Apple's premium software into one subscription, although the individual applications will remain available for purchase or free download on macOS. Both the subscription and standalone versions can be installed at the same time. To visually distinguish between the one-time purchase and subscription versions of the apps, Apple Creator Studio versions of the pro apps applications on Mac utilize different icons.

These applications vary by device availability.

  • Final Cut Pro is video editing software, available on macOS and iPadOS.
  • Logic Pro is a digital audio workstation, available on macOS and iPadOS.
  • Pixelmator Pro is a graphics editor, available on macOS and iPadOS.
  • Pages is a word processing program, available for macOS, iPadOS, iOS, and Web.
  • Numbers is a spreadsheet program, available on macOS, iPadOS, iOS, and Web.
  • Keynote is a presentation program, available on macOS, iPadOS, iOS, tvOS, visionOS, watchOS, and Web.
  • Freeform is a digital whiteboarding application, available on macOS, iPadOS, iOS, and visionOS.
  • Motion is video production software, available on macOS.
  • Compressor is media compression and encoding software, available on macOS.
  • MainStage is music software, available on macOS.

Following the announcement of Creator Studio, multiple outlets praised the lower pricing compared to Adobe Creative Cloud, but were critical over the failure to include an alternative to Adobe Lightroom, like Aperture or Photomator.
