Popular Mac apps that still need Rosetta

Rosetta 2 lets Intel apps run on Apple silicon Macs, and Apple has said macOS 27 is the last version with full Rosetta. These are the popular apps that still lean on it.

짧은 답

On November 8, 2026, the top three are Android File Transfer, Minecraft and Blizzard Battle.net. 50개 모두 보기, or how it's ranked.

When Apple moved the Mac to its own chips in 2020, Rosetta 2 quietly translated older Intel apps so they kept working. It was so good most people never noticed. But Apple has said macOS 27 is the last version with full Rosetta support, and after that only a small part of it stays, mostly for older games.

So which apps people really use still need it? Homebrew marks every app that requires Rosetta on an Apple silicon Mac. We matched that with Homebrew's install numbers, so the apps at the top are the ones the most people will have to replace or wait on.

How this ranking works
  • Source: Homebrew's public install analytics (formulae.brew.sh), which count installs by people who leave Homebrew's anonymous analytics on. App names and descriptions come from each Homebrew cask.
  • Read on: November 8, 2026. The 30 days run from October 9, 2026 to November 8, 2026. MacPip reads it again every week.
  • Ranked by: installs in the last 365 days. Nobody can pay for a place, and MacPip apps get no boost.
  • Included: Mac apps whose Homebrew cask says they need Rosetta 2 on Apple silicon. Deprecated and disabled casks are left out. 290 apps qualify today.
Check your own Mac

Open the Apple menu, choose About This Mac, then More Info, scroll down to System Report, and pick Applications. Any app whose Kind says Intel runs through Rosetta. For each one, check the maker's site for an Apple silicon update first, then look for a native alternative.

Which popular Mac apps still need Rosetta?

By Homebrew installs in the last year, Android File Transfer, Minecraft, Blizzard Battle.net, DOSBox and RetroArch lead the list. 290 apps in Homebrew's ranking still need Rosetta 2 on Apple silicon.

When does Rosetta 2 stop working?

Apple said macOS 27 is the last macOS with full Rosetta 2 support. After that, Apple plans to keep only a limited part of it for older games. Apps that still need it should get an Apple silicon update before then.

How do I see which of my apps use Rosetta?

Open About This Mac, then More Info, then System Report, and choose Applications. Apps whose Kind says Intel run through Rosetta. Recent macOS versions also warn you when you open one.

Where does this list come from?

From Homebrew. Each app's install recipe (its cask) says whether it needs Rosetta on an Apple silicon Mac, and Homebrew publishes how often each one was installed. Read on November 8, 2026.
