AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThe search results show MovieSherlock has not received a significant update since version 6.3.6, last documented in 2022. There is no evidence of a native Apple Silicon build or any developer activity in recent years. The app continues to run under Rosetta 2 today, but Apple is removing Rosetta in macOS 28 (September 2028), at which point MovieSherlock will stop launching entirely unless a native build is released. Contact the developer (Capibara Inc.) immediately to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build is planned before the September 2028 deadline. If the developer is no longer active or does not respond, you should begin exploring alternative video downloaders that are actively maintained and already ship native Apple Silicon builds, such as Downie or WWDC For macOS, or use web-based services like youtube-dl with native command-line tools.
