Designer is the GUI design tool from the Qt Project, part of the Qt framework ecosystem. It enables developers to create and edit graphical user interfaces for Qt applications through a visual drag-and-drop interface, without writing layout code by hand. Developers use Designer to prototype interfaces, manage widget properties, connect signals and slots, and generate UI files that integrate into Qt/C++ or PyQt projects. 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 Designer exists and has been confirmed running on Macs in our community. To upgrade from the Intel version to the native build, download the latest Qt framework installer from qt.io. The official Qt installer and the Qt maintenance tool now ship native Apple Silicon builds by default, so when you run the installer on an M-series Mac, you will receive the native version automatically. If you installed Qt via Homebrew, running brew upgrade qt-creator or brew upgrade qt will pull the native build. For those using a direct download from qt.io, simply re-download the current installer — it will detect your Mac's architecture and serve the native binary. After installation, existing projects and UI files will work without any manual migration.
