Apple\u2019s ARM Macs include a machine translation solution named Rosetta 2. This lets those Macs run existing software designed for Intel Macs. But it\u2019s not perfect. Here\u2019s how to check whether your software is compatible before buying an Apple Silicon Mac.<\/p>\n

We recommend checking out the \u201cIs Apple silicon ready?<\/a>\u201d website. This website, created by programmer\u00a0Abdullah Diaa, provides a searchable directory that brings together compatibility information from all over the web.<\/p>\n

Head to the website, search for an application, and look at the available information. If an app has a checkmark in the \u201cApple silicon optimized\u201d column, that tells you it has an official version that runs natively and speedily on Apple Silicon. The \u201cM1 Supported version\u201d column tells you which version of the app supports Apple Silicon.<\/p>\n

If an app has a checkmark in the \u201cRosetta 2\u201d column, that tells you it works properly via the Rosetta 2 translation layer. The app will run and be usable on an ARM Mac.<\/p>\n

In some cases, you might see a yellow caution triangle. This indicates that the app may work properly, but that it may have some bugs. You can click any app and you\u2019ll see a link to further information about any problems and plans for compatibility\u2014perhaps on the developer\u2019s website, on a discussion forum, or in a Twitter<\/a> thread somewhere.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the real advantage of this website\u2014it brings discussions from all over the web together in one place.<\/p>\n

You could also hunt down this information yourself\u2014for example, if you\u2019re wondering whether a professional app supports Apple Silicon, you can head to the developer\u2019s website and see if they have an announcement. You could also perform a web search for the name of the app and \u201cm1 mac\u201d to see if it works properly on Apple\u2019s first M1 MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and Mac mini. But this directory should save you some time.<\/p>\n\n

Really, Rosetta 2 works amazingly well\u2014especially compared to Microsoft\u2019s half-baked emulation layer in Windows 10 on ARM. As of November 2020, Microsoft\u2019s\u00a0Windows 10 on ARM still can\u2019t emulate 64-bit Intel applications\u2014years after it was first released!<\/p>\n
