Excel-Password-Recover
Excel-Password-Recover is an open-source tool that could help you recover lost passwords for your excel spreadsheets. This works for macOS, but support for Windows is iffy.

Note: This project is unmaintained as it is far more efficient to crack the hash itself via a rainbow table rather than brute force. I realized this after I made this and quickly switched methods.
