Scratch 3 is MIT's free visual programming language and environment, designed primarily for students, educators and young learners to create interactive stories, animations, games and simulations by assembling graphical blocks rather than writing text code. It runs on macOS, Windows, Linux and via web browser, and is widely used in schools, coding clubs, and self-paced learning to introduce computational thinking concepts. The desktop version for macOS provides offline access and full project creation capabilities. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionA native Apple Silicon build of Scratch 3 is available and confirmed working on real Macs. The standard Scratch 3 installer from the official Scratch website (scratch.mit.edu) is a Universal Binary that serves the native arm64 build on Apple Silicon Macs automatically — simply download and install the latest version from the releases page or main download link, and it will be the native version. If your current copy is still the Intel build, reinstalling or updating will switch you to the native binary without any special steps or beta channels. No manual download of a specific arm64 build is necessary; the regular download already includes both architectures.
