A native Apple Silicon (Universal Binary) build of Acorn is now available and has been confirmed running on real Macs in the Rosetta Check community. If you are still running an older Intel-only build under Rosetta, update to the latest version to gain native performance, better battery life and full compatibility with modern macOS. You can update through the Check for Updates menu item in Acorn itself, or if you purchased from the Mac App Store, update through the App Store. The latest version is available as a free update if you already own Acorn.
