I migrated all my apps and files from my old Intel-powered MacBook Air and I was raring to go.<\/p>\n<p>Then I realized that some of those apps might be running on Rosetta 2 \u2014 Apple\u2018s simulation software to run intel-based apps on the new Mac.\u00a0<span>While they work fine, it\u2019s nice to get the app\u2019s native M1 version for better performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how you can check if an app is running on Rosetta or M1 native architecture:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bring up the Spotlight search by hitting Command + Space on your M1 Mac.<\/li>\n<li>Type in \u201cActivity Monitor,\u201d and hit return.<\/li>\n<li>You\u2019ll see a dialog box with parameters of different apps. Click on the CPU section in the top bar.<\/li>\n<li>Once the section loads up, you\u2019ll see a column named \u201cKind\u201d. If the app says \u201cIntel\u201d under that, you should download the native version if available.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"post-image post-mediaBleed aligncenter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/Screenshot-2021-07-14-at-11.51.17-AM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1360468 size-featured_img js-lazy\" alt=\"Snapshot of the Activity Monitor on M1 Mac\" width=\"796\" height=\"267\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 796px) 100vw, 796px\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/Screenshot-2021-07-14-at-11.51.17-AM-796x267.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/Screenshot-2021-07-14-at-11.51.17-AM-796x267.png 796w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/Screenshot-2021-07-14-at-11.51.17-AM-280x94.png 280w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/Screenshot-2021-07-14-at-11.51.17-AM-540x181.png 540w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/Screenshot-2021-07-14-at-11.51.17-AM-270x91.png 270w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/Screenshot-2021-07-14-at-11.51.17-AM-1592x534.png 1592w\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1360468 size-featured_img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/Screenshot-2021-07-14-at-11.51.17-AM-796x267.png\" alt=\"Snapshot of the Activity Monitor on M1 Mac\" width=\"796\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/Screenshot-2021-07-14-at-11.51.17-AM-796x267.png 796w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/Screenshot-2021-07-14-at-11.51.17-AM-280x94.png 280w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/Screenshot-2021-07-14-at-11.51.17-AM-540x181.png 540w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/Screenshot-2021-07-14-at-11.51.17-AM-270x91.png 270w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/07\/Screenshot-2021-07-14-at-11.51.17-AM-1592x534.png 1592w\"\/><\/noscript><\/a><figcaption><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/thenextweb.com\/news\/#\" data-url=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Feditorial.thenextweb.com%2Fplugged%2F2021%2F07%2F14%2Fhow-to-check-app-running-m1-native-version-on-mac%2F&amp;via=thenextweb&amp;related=thenextweb&amp;text=Check out this picture on: Snapshot of the Activity Monitor on M1 Mac (Click on the image to expand)\" data-title=\"Share Snapshot of the Activity Monitor on M1 Mac (Click on the image to expand) on Twitter\" data-width=\"685\" data-height=\"500\" class=\"post-image-share popitup\" title=\"Share Snapshot of the Activity Monitor on M1 Mac (Click on the image to expand) on Twitter\"><i class=\"icon icon--inline icon--twitter--dark\"\/><\/a>Snapshot of the Activity Monitor on M1 Mac (Click on the image to expand)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If you want to check if a particular app works on the M1 Mac in native form, you can use this handy website for that.<\/p>\n<p><i>Did you know we have a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>letter all about consumer tech?
