AI Recommendation
1 suggestionMindManager has been running on Apple Silicon Macs under Rosetta 2 since M1 chip support began, but Corel has not released a native Apple Silicon build despite stating that one is planned. More than five years have passed since the introduction of Apple Silicon and we are now less than 3.5 years from the September 2028 deadline when Apple removes Rosetta 2 entirely. It is time to contact Corel directly to ask for an explicit timeline or firm commitment to a native build. If Corel cannot provide a clear answer, you should begin evaluating alternatives such as OmniGraffle (which has native Apple Silicon support and offers diagramming capabilities) or Lucidchart (browser-based, runs natively in any modern browser). Staying with MindManager under Rosetta in the short term is safe, but you will need a plan before macOS 28 ships in September 2028, at which point the Intel-only build will no longer launch.
