App store recent updates

The App Store released Garage Band,Keynote,Numbers,Pages and iMovie updates yesterday and all except iMovie refer to Big sur.

Since I am not planning on updating to Big Sur yet, are these apps safe to download to Catalina without forcing me to update to Big Sur?

Thanks

Sticking with Catalina, do I still update individual apps? Hi, my MacBook Pro is too old to upgrade to Big Sur, so I'm sticking with Catalina (which runs v well). Now there are updates for Pages/Numbers etc that appear to be focused on Big Sur. Should I still update my Catalina based Mac apps?

App Store updates for Catalina? I just upgraded an iMac from High Sierra to Catalina, hoping that it could pull slightly newer updates to apps like Final Cut Pro, Numbers, and Logic Pro X, as I know there are some newer updates to those that required something a version newer that High Sierra. However, the App Store insists that all of my applications are “up to date”, but the newer versions shown on the app pages are only compatible with much newer OS versions than Catalina. Am I simply out of luck on getting app updates for Catalina?

Since their system requirements refer to Catalina, the are safe to install.

However, Garage Band is the only one that requires Big Sur and will not install on Catalina as well.

Cheers.
