1 suggestionScreenwriter 6.7 is available as a native Apple Silicon build, currently in late-stage alpha testing. Write Brothers, the developer, has confirmed they have built and tested a native ARM version on M1, M2 and M3 Macs and explicitly state that version 6.7.0.72 Alpha 36 runs on Apple Silicon. If you are still running the Intel-only version, visit the Write Brothers support page at techsupport.screenplay.com to download the native alpha build. This will give you a significant performance improvement and battery efficiency boost on M-series Macs. Note that alpha builds occasionally have rough edges, but Write Brothers has been testing this build against multiple macOS versions (Catalina through Tahoe, which is macOS 26) and report broad compatibility. Once the native build exits alpha and reaches a stable release, it will become the standard download.
