Of course this is just an example, and there are many other apps used by Mac users which are bit.īut, this may impact which apps work on your Mac in the future, under a future Mac OS system software version. In the screenshot example here, you can see that this particular Mac has quite a few bit apps installed and in regular use, including Steam, SuperDuper, TextWrangler, Warcraft 3, and WriteRoom. The simplest way to see all bit applications and bit apps on a Mac is to use System Information. But there are a fair amount of bit apps which are widely used on many Macs, despite Mac OS itself being bit since Snow Leopard. This might suggest that bit Mac apps will run through a compatibility mode like Rosetta or Classic in the near future, and eventually, it seems likely that Apple will drop support for bit apps on the Mac completely in a some future system software release, favoring bit apps.
