> **Short answer: yes.** Sublime Text runs natively on Apple silicon (checked October 4, 2026), so it keeps working on macOS 28 without Rosetta. If Finder shows your copy as “Intel”, it is an old download; get the current version from the developer.

## Questions about Sublime Text

### Does Sublime Text work on Apple silicon?

Yes. Sublime Text has a native Apple silicon version, so it runs on M-series Macs without any translation layer.

### Does Sublime Text need Rosetta 2?

No. The current version runs natively on Apple silicon, so it doesn’t use Rosetta 2 and isn’t affected when Apple removes it in macOS 28. Only an old Intel download of it would be.

### How can I keep using Sublime Text after macOS 28?

Keep it up to date from the developer. If Finder shows your copy as “Application (Intel)”, replace it with the current download.
