M1 Compatible Application Database, an Apple Silicon resource

[ad_1]

Yesterday we saw a useful detailed list of all games that are compatible with Apple Silicon (and which are continually being updated). We now have another valuable database for all M1 compatible apps available so far.

Apple Silicon’s official support for apps delivers finely tuned efficiency and truly impressive performance, but even unsupported apps running through Rosetta 2 translation perform just fine (which happens automatically after macOS Big On prompts you to download Rosetta 2 for the first time). The Rosetta translation is so good that M1 Macs can even execute x86 instructions faster than Intel Macs.

But in any case, especially for your most used or critical applications, it’s exciting and important to see developers roll out full Apple Silicon M1 Mac support.

A new resource titled “Is Apple Silicon Ready?” has appeared on the web and includes just about every category of apps besides games. The only confusing thing about the database is the big “Not Yet!” response in response to the site name question. We would say that while official support will be rolled out over the coming weeks and months by third parties, Apple Silicon is definitely ready and offers a much improved experience, even with the Rosetta translation.

The database of applications supported by Apple Silicon offers filters for categories and indicates whether an application is optimized for Apple Silicon, builds on Rosetta 2 (partial or full), if the developer has announced a future version with support along the way, and the latest update.

Additionally, you can click on individual apps to get even more details:

Check out this database of Apple Silicon M1 compatible apps here. You can also follow the Is Apple Silicon ready? Twitter account.

Apple also posted a featured article on the Mac App Store highlighting many M1 compatible apps already available. And you can also head over to the Mac App Store and your downloads (account bottom left> scroll down> and click the iPad and iPhone apps toggle button) to see which iOS apps are available on your Mac.
