Does It ARM is a community-maintained list that tracks which Mac applications work on Apple Silicon chips, the processors Apple started using in its Macs starting in late 2020. These chips use a different instruction set than the older Intel processors, so some older software needs to be updated to run natively, while other apps work through a compatibility layer called Rosetta 2 that Apple provides. The list covers thousands of applications organized by category: developer tools, creative software for audio, photo, video, and 3D work, productivity apps, communication tools, VPNs, and system utilities. Each entry has a status icon. A checkmark means the app has full native support and runs at full speed on the Apple Silicon chip. A different symbol means the app works through Rosetta 2 translation, which is functional but may be slower. A stop symbol means the app is not yet working at all. A no-entry symbol means it only works on Intel Macs. A diamond means the status is unknown. The project is hosted at doesitarm.com, where you can search the full list. The GitHub repository contains the underlying data and also accepts contributions from users who have tested apps on their own machines and want to report results. The README itself is a very long table of developer tools starting with entries like .NET, Adobe XD, Android Studio, and many others, each with a status and a link to the source of the information. This is useful if you are considering buying an Apple Silicon Mac and want to check whether the specific tools you rely on will work, or if you already have one and something is not behaving as expected and you want to see whether that is a known compatibility issue. The full README is longer than what was shown.
