Compatibility database
Short answer: apps built only for Intel stop opening on Apple silicon Macs with macOS 28. Search for an app to see whether it is Intel-only, whether a native version exists and what Keep86’s own tests found. Every entry shows where the facts come from and when they were checked.

How we build this list
- Architecture comes from Homebrew’s cask metadata (its maintainers mark apps that require Rosetta) and from vendor information in the Keep86 app’s own list.
- Native versions: for apps Homebrew tracks, we go by the vendor download it lists today (an Intel-only download means no Apple silicon build of the current version); for others, by the vendor’s own information.
- Keep86 status is “not tested yet” until we have tested the app ourselves on an Apple silicon Mac.
- Entries without enough verified data are listed here but hidden from search engines.
App names are trademarks of their owners and are used only to describe compatibility. Keep86 is not affiliated with the developers of these apps. Architecture data partly from Homebrew (formulae.brew.sh), used under the BSD 2-Clause licence.
