Install Keynote on Catalina

Hi, I would like to install Keynote on an iMac that is on Catalina and can't be updated. How can I do it? Can I find an older version of Keynote or a version that works with Catalina?

If you have never installed Keynote, then you are done on Catalina and will need to use Keynote for iCloud, or Keynote v11.2 on iOS/iPadOS v14.8.1 or v15.3. Because Apple does not provide direct user downloads of past full Keynote installers. Otherwise…


On Catalina, launch the Mac App Store signed in with the same Apple ID as you used to install Keynote previously. Press cmd+0 (zero) to open the Purchased panel. If Keynote appears there with an Update button, click that. You will receive a dialog that you need to upgrade your operating system (because the current Keynote requires Big Sur or later). Acknowledge that dialog and do not click Cancel. Doing so will not upgrade your operating system. A second dialog may now appear offering to install the last compatible version (v11.1) of Keynote for Catalina.
