iWork is a suite of applications created by
Apple Inc., containing
Pages, a
word processing and
desktop publishing application,
Keynote, a presentation package and
Numbers, a
spreadsheet application . Although iWork is billed by Apple as "a successor to
AppleWorks" , it does not replicate the functionality of AppleWorks's
database and drawing tools. Likewise, it does not compete directly with the
Mac version of
Microsoft Office, but instead offers tools with a different focus (presentation, rather than analysis) at a lower price. It is designed to integrate with existing applications from Apple's
iLife Suite. Although
iLife comes free on every
Mac, iWork is sold separately. A free 30-day trial of iWork is provided with every new Mac, and with copies of
iLife.
