QuickNFO
QuickNFO is a macOS utility for viewing and working with NFO (info) files, which are ASCII text files commonly bundled with software releases, movies, and other digital media to provide metadata, release information, credits, or documentation. The app renders NFO files with proper formatting and color syntax highlighting, preserving the original text art and layout that would otherwise display as garbled plain text in a standard editor. It is typically used by users who download or work with archived software, warez scene releases, or media collections that include NFO documentation.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find public information confirming whether a native Apple Silicon build of QuickNFO exists. The app appears to be a niche utility with minimal online presence and no obvious active website or recent updates we could verify. If you rely on QuickNFO, contact the developer directly to ask whether native Apple Silicon support is planned, since the Intel-only build will stop launching entirely when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028). In the meantime, the app continues to run under Rosetta 2 on current Macs with Apple Silicon. As an alternative, you can view and edit NFO files in any text editor (BBEdit, TextEdit, VS Code all run natively on Apple Silicon) though you will lose the original formatting and color syntax highlighting that QuickNFO provides. If the developer is unresponsive or inactive, you may want to research open-source viewers or other niche NFO utilities that confirm native Apple Silicon support.
