Free today does not mean free forever
Many apps are temporarily free and may return to paid pricing. Always confirm the App Store price before downloading, especially for subscription or IAP-heavy apps.

About Free App Discovery
Developers frequently offer their paid apps for free — often for 24 to 72 hours — to boost rankings, attract reviews, or promote major updates. During these limited-time promotions, if you "purchase" the app while it is free, it remains permanently tied to your Apple ID, even after the price returns to normal. This is different from a free trial — you own the app forever.
Our Free Apps page aggregates app promotions from community-maintained APIs and curated feeds. It refreshes daily and categorizes apps into clear groups: free-to-own promotions, price-drop sales, and separate sections for apps vs. games. Each listing shows the app name, category, developer, and a direct link to the App Store.
Use the filter tabs at the top to quickly switch between "App Free" (utilities and productivity), "Game Free" (titles temporarily free), "App Sale" (discounted but not free), and "Game Sale." The "All" tab shows everything in one view.
Tips: Check back daily — the best deals often last only 24 hours. Treat these promotions as a discovery tool: downloading a free app costs nothing, and if you do not like it, simply delete it. Some of the most beloved indie apps first gained traction through limited-time free promotions.
How It Works
The Free Apps tool monitors App Store pricing data to detect apps that have temporarily dropped from paid to free. It queries Apple’s RSS feed generators and price history trackers to surface apps currently offering their full version for free. This is not a "lite" or "freemium" filter — these are genuinely paid apps that are temporarily free.
When an app is "free for a limited time," you can download it permanently to your Apple ID. After the promotion ends and the price returns to normal, the app remains fully yours — no subscription, no time limit, no feature restrictions. This is fundamentally different from free trials or freemium models where core features are locked behind paywalls.
The tool organizes results by category and recency. Category filters help you focus on specific app types (games, productivity, photo, etc.) while the search function matches app names, developer names, and descriptions. The data refreshes periodically to catch time-sensitive promotions before they expire.
Common Issues
- App is no longer free: free promotions typically last 24-72 hours. Check the timestamp on the listing — if it is older than 3 days, the app may have returned to paid status.
- App shows as free but App Store lists a price: the promotion window may have ended between our last refresh and your check. Always verify on the App Store before relying on displayed data.
- IAP-heavy apps appear in results: the tool detects price changes to free, not app monetization model. Some developers make the app free but monetize through aggressive IAP — check the IAP section before downloading.
- Duplicate entries: some apps appear in multiple categories. This is expected behavior — the app genuinely fits multiple category definitions in the App Store.
How to evaluate limited-time free app lists
Free-app information changes quickly. Simply copying third-party deal lists can be low-value. Wolffy adds category, developer, store link, and usage reminders so users can decide whether an app is worth downloading.
Check quality signals first
Review developer name, rating, update date, privacy labels, and recent comments. An abandoned or permission-heavy app may not be worth installing even when free.
Keep context when feeds fail
If an API fails or no apps are available, the page still provides filtering advice and related guides instead of becoming an empty screen with ads.
