Autodesk Viewer
Autodesk Viewer alternative app for Mac & Windows
Autodesk Viewer is free, but it runs in your browser: sign in, upload the model, wait for it to process. BrewBIM opens your .ifc straight from your disk on Mac and Windows, with no account and no upload.
Word
Word alternative app for Mac & Windows
Most people open Word to write a letter or fix a report and save it as a PDF. DocCafe does that on Mac and Windows, in an app a fraction of Word's size, with no Microsoft 365 subscription.
Excel
Excel alternative app for Mac & Windows
Most of us open Excel to fix a budget or clean up a CSV. SheetCafe does that part on Mac and Windows, in an app a tenth the size of Excel, with no Microsoft 365 subscription.
