A related project was NeoOffice/C, which was a simultaneous effort to develop a version using Apple's Cocoa APIs.

The project now called NeoOffice was originally dubbed 'NeoOffice/J', reflecting its use of Mac OS X's Java integration to enable a native application. NeoOffice began as a project to investigate methods of creating a native port of to Mac OS X.

Subsequently, both LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice followed NeoOffice's lead and implemented similarly native Mac OS X interfaces. NeoOffice was the first fork to offer a native Mac OS X experience, with easier installation, better integration into the Mac OS X interface (pull-down menus at the top of the screen and familiar keyboard shortcuts, for example), use of Mac OS X's fonts and printing services without additional configuration, and integration with the Mac OS X clipboard and drag-and-drop functions. Versions of for Mac prior to 3.0 did not have a native Mac OS X interface they required that either X11.app or XDarwin be installed. Current versions are based on LibreOffice 4.4, which was released mid-2014. It is a commercial fork of the free and open source LibreOffice office suite, including a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation program and graphics program, it adds some features not present in the macOS versions of LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice. NeoOffice is an office suite for the macOS operating system developed by Planamesa Inc.
