Word Processors
Bean
An open source word processor that does more than TextEdit and is much speedier than Office-style software. (No longer being actively developed.)
Growly Write
A simple — but not too simple — app for people who want a word processor with the features they actually use. Everything is easy to find in a format panel that includes a multitude of features.
LibreOffice
Developers unhappy with the turn taken by OpenOffice.org when it was acquired by Oracle set off to create their own open source office suite — and the result is LibreOffice. The About Us section notes that it is based on the principle of developers “sharing their work with the world in a non-restrictive way.”
OnlyOffice
Work with documents, spreadsheets, presentations, fillable forms and PDF files on your Mac. Compatible with Microsoft Office files: DOCX, XLSX, and PPTX, plus other popular formats.
OpenOffice
Now that a native Mac version is available, this open source alternative to Microsoft Office is a worthy option to consider along with LibreOffice.
