Keep in mind even if your M1 Mac is running Intel apps, it can often do so with better performance through Rosetta 2 translation (happens automatically) than when running natively on an Intel Mac. That can be a bit confusing since there are two types of Universal apps, one refers to M1/Intel support and the other if the same app can be downloaded across iOS and macOS on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. You can see this info in Finder and System Report (under About This Mac) as well as more options we’ll cover below. But if you’re checking for M1 support, Apple uses the term “Universal” for Apple Silicon/M1 optimized apps (which work with Intel Macs too) and labels x86 apps as Intel (these apps need Rosetta translation on M1 Macs). You’ll often hear developers talk about M1 support when launching new versions of their apps. ![]() Read along for five free ways to check Universal macOS apps. ![]() ![]() ![]() Now that M1 Macs are available and developers are updating their apps for official M1 support, you might be trying to figure out which of your apps (as well as ones you might want) are optimized for Apple Silicon.
