PlutoTV
PlutoTV is a free, ad-supported streaming service that offers live TV channels and on-demand content across movies, TV shows, news, sports, and documentaries. The macOS app provides access to a large catalog of programming without requiring a subscription. It is built using Electron, which is a cross-platform framework that packages a Chromium-based browser runtime with JavaScript application code.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionPlutoTV's macOS app is built on Electron, a framework that should theoretically support both Intel and Apple Silicon architectures. However, we found no public information confirming whether the current version ships as a native Universal Binary or is still Intel-only. Given that we are now 28 months away from macOS 28 (September 2028) and Rosetta 2 will no longer be available, it is important to determine the native support status before the deadline. Contact Paramount Global (PlutoTV's owner) or check the app's official download page to confirm whether a native Apple Silicon build is available or planned. Alternatively, visit the Mac App Store version of PlutoTV if available, as App Store builds are more likely to be kept current with native architecture support. If PlutoTV's macOS app remains Intel-only with no native build in sight, you should plan to migrate to a web-based alternative or another native streaming app that supports Apple Silicon well before September 2028.
