On a Mac the real question is not which app installs, it is which tool complies. Almost every Spanish invoicing tool is web-based, so it runs in Safari or Chrome with no install at all. The best free option is the tax agency's own application; the best paid ones are Cuéntica from €9 and Quipu from €17. Native Mac software exists but the list is short, and one of the best known has not been updated since 2022.
If you came here looking for something to download, the honest answer is that you probably do not need to.
Ten years ago "invoicing software for Mac" meant a program you installed. Today it mostly means a website that works properly in Safari.
That shift is good news for Mac users, for one specific reason. Compliance changes are pushed by the vendor, in the background. With installed software, you depend on someone releasing a new version for macOS and on you installing it. With a browser tool, the Verifactu update lands without you doing anything.
It also removes the old problem of Spanish invoicing software being Windows-only. If it runs in a browser, your operating system stops being part of the decision.
Four criteria, and only one of them is about Macs.
A published Verifactu responsible declaration. This decides everything from 2027, and it has nothing to do with your operating system.
That it works in Safari, not just Chrome. Most do, but test before you pay. Some older tools assume Chrome.
Spanish VAT and withholding built in. Otherwise you configure them by hand on every invoice.
Whether it is actively maintained. For installed software this matters enormously. A Mac app that has not shipped a version since 2022 cannot have adapted to rules written in 2023.
What it does: the Spanish tax agency published its own free invoicing application in October 2025, inside its electronic office. It runs in a browser, Safari included, so it works on a Mac with nothing to install.

This is the best known invoicing app built specifically for Mac, sold through the Mac App Store, and it is Mac only. The free licence covers 10 clients, 10 products and 50 documents a year.
The catch is serious. Its most recent release on the Mac App Store is version 2023.1, published in December 2022. The description refers to the 2021 anti-fraud law but does not mention Verifactu, which is unsurprising: the royal decree creating Verifactu came after that release.
A system that has not shipped an update since 2022 cannot have adapted to rules written in 2023 and applying from 2027. If you already use it, ask the developer directly whether a compliant version is coming, and plan on the basis of the answer rather than the hope.
The government publishes a desktop version of its Facturae application for macOS, free to download.
It is genuinely native and genuinely free, but it solves a different problem: issuing invoices in the Facturae format for public administrations. It does not solve Verifactu.
If you invoice a town hall or a ministry from a Mac, download it. If your clients are companies or consumers, it is not what you need.
H2: What Verifactu changes
1 January 2027 for companies, 1 July 2027 for the self-employed. Before then, voluntary.
From your date, every invoice must come from a certified system producing an unalterable record and a QR code. Your operating system is irrelevant to this; the software is not.
There is no official list of approved software. Compliance works through the vendor's responsible declaration, so ask for the document rather than trusting a badge. The timeline is in Verifactu entry into force.

If you want zero cost and zero compliance risk: the tax agency's application in Safari, accepting that you cannot export.
If you want unlimited free invoicing with Spanish tax handled: renn Copilot.
If you want a proper Spanish tool cheaply: Cuéntica from €9.
If receipts are your pain: Quipu from €17.
If you invoice public bodies: the Facturae desktop app for macOS, alongside something else for private clients.
What not to do: choose an installed Mac app without checking when it was last updated. On a Mac, the browser tools are the safer bet precisely because compliance arrives without you.
No. Almost every Spanish invoicing tool runs in the browser, so it works on macOS with nothing installed.
There are a few. ZFactura is Mac only but has not been updated since 2022, and the government's Facturae desktop application has a macOS version for invoicing public bodies.
Yes. It runs in the browser from the tax agency's electronic office, Safari included.
Until your 2027 date, a correctly built document is valid. After it, no: the invoice has to come from a certified system that produces the record and the QR code.
Among those here, the tax agency app by definition, plus Quipu, Contasimple and Zoho Invoice with published declarations, and renn and Holded which state compliance.
A browser tool will. Installed software only updates if the developer ships a new version and you install it, which is the risk with anything that has gone quiet.
