Go64 1.2 checks apps for 64-bit compatibility and for Apple Silicon support

The new version of Go64 is a universal app that natively supports both Intel and Apple Silicon powered Macs. It still scans all of your installed applications to tell you which ones are 32-bit, meaning that they won’t work on macOS Catalina or Big Sur.

What’s new, however, is that it now also shows you which of your applications are built for Apple Silicon, so you can get the most out of your fancy new M1-powered MacBook Pro, MacBook Air or Mac mini.

Just launch Go64 and perform a new scan. The “Architecture” column will show the type of each app that it finds. Click on the column header to sort the results by architecture type, and you’ll then be able to quickly see which of your apps will run natively on Apple Silicon. And now you’ll know which developers you need to pester to update their apps so they also take advantage of Apple’s ridiculously fast new processors 🙂
