How to get apple apps like pages, numbers, keynote etc., on Catalina 10.15.7

I tried to install them from App Store but it shows those require macOS 14 or later. Previously I tried to update my macOS I almost lost my MacBook but I got lucky and I was able to get back my Os back. Can anyone tell me get this done.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

If you have personally installed these Apple applications since they were originally introduced in Fall 2013, then you can reinstall version 11.1 of these applications on Catalina.


Launch the Mac App Store and be signed in with the same Apple ID as you previously used to install these applications — even if on a different Mac. Press cmd+0 (zero) to open the Purchased panel and you should see evidence of the ability to install these applications. That might be a blue outline cloud with a down arrow such as this:


The Mac App Store may present one or more dialogs, none of which you click Cancel. The last one will ask if you want to install the last compatible version of the application for macOS Catalina. You know what to do.

About your only option is to use LibreOffice since Microsoft no longer support macOS Catalina with their Office suite. Since even web browsers are slowing dropping support for Catalina (or will be soon), even paying for Microsoft's online Office365 accessible through a web browser is not a good solution (the experience is not an exact match for the stand alone apps).
