As the title says, I am searching for new apps to "buy" or "get" with the $40 in App Store credit I got this morning for Christmas. The only stipulation is that I am searching for apps that have Mac equivalents. Examples would include apps like Spark and Fantastical 2.

Thanks in advance for the help. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a very prosperous New Year.

So, you don't care what apps you get, they just have to perform the same task on Macs, and Apple devices?
Can you clarify your needs, just a little bit (Games? Office-type apps? Graphics design? Home financial? "Bit-coin" access? Music/recording apps? Children's interests? medical support software? Other? )

Games or utilities.
 
Apps I use on both are 1Password, Jump Desktop, Carrot Weather, Onedrive and Agenda Widget+.
 
Really all I'm looking for is a solid list of iOS apps that have Mac counterparts.

Actually, I think I'll make the first post a WikiPost just so it's more clear to me.
 
As for content blocker on iOS (iPad), I use 1Blocker and Roadblock - they both got Mac counterpart and their rules (including whitelist) and profiles are synced via iCloud.

Another good apps which got both Mac and iOS versions are Forecastbar, Network Utility X (it even support Handoff for pinging), Pocket, Bear.

In past, I used Airmail and Ulysses.
