Apple has recently revealed the 2021 App Store Award winners, recognizing the 15 best apps and games for their outstanding quality, innovative technology, creative design, and positive cultural impact.

This year, Craft – Docs and Notes Editor, a fast-growing writing app and modern productivity tool, has been selected as Mac App of the Year at Apple’s App Store Best of 2021 Awards.
