This is not true, a binary is just part of the App package, a slimmed-down App will not magically give you back half of that App size. I remember PPC/Intel Stripping tools which could strip the unneeded.īut that's not possible now with code signing - if you would strip it now, it just won't work.Īnyhow, I think devs should also provide separate ARM and Intel downloads. So basically the Universal app you need to download is 6GB instead of 3GB (and it also will occupy 6GB on your system). It's OK for small apps but some exceed 3GB (Ableton Live for example). But sadly it also goes with double file sizes too. In addition to the above, iMazing has released a free app that scans your macOS apps and displays their supported CPU architecture, while repo offers a free menu bar app called Silicon Info that lets you quickly view the architecture of the currently running application. In addition to the System Report list, you can check individual apps too: right-click an app's icon in Finder, then select Get Info from the contextual menu and look at its Kind under "General." In the Applications list that loads, look under the Kind column to see whether an app is a Universal binary or a non-native Intel executable.

GOODNOTES MAC M1 UPDATE
When developers update their apps to run natively on Apple silicon, they use something called a Universal binary. But how do you know which of your apps are running natively as Universal executables and which ones are using Rosetta emulation? Read on to find out. Even if an app hasn't been updated, Apple's non-Intel Macs can still run them, thanks to Apple's Rosetta 2 translation layer. Following the launch of Macs powered by Apple silicon, numerous third-party apps have been updated to ensure they are optimized to run on Apple's custom processors.
