Go64 1.4: To better assess your 64-bit and Apple Silicon readiness

Version 1.4 of Go64 was released yesterday, correcting a few issues it had when running on Ventura and offering better reporting of the CPU architectures supported by your apps.

As a refresher, Go64 is our free app for analyzing all the apps you have installed on your Mac. It shows you which ones are 32-bit, 64-bit, Intel-only, and Apple Silicon-native. This gives you a full picture of which apps will run on newer versions of macOS (Catalina and later will not run 32-bit apps) and which will run best on newer Macs with Apple Silicon processors (M1 and M2).

Here’s a full list of changes in version 1.4:

  • Added an option to filter the list of applications to show CPU architectures that are not Intel or Universal.
  • You can double-click on the separator between column headers to automatically resize a column to fit its contents.
  • When saving the results of a scan, the architecture of applications is now exported along with the other information.
  • Fixed the formatting of exported application information that contains tabs, carriage returns and other special characters.
  • Updated terminology such as “preferences” to refer to “settings” when running on macOS Ventura and higher.
  • Go64 now correctly reports the developer and website for Akai Professional and Cycling ’74 audio apps.
  • Fixed user interface layout issues on macOS Ventura.

Go64 is free and can be downloaded here.
