AntConc is a free, open-source corpus analysis toolkit developed by Laurence Anthony at Waseda University. It is widely used by linguists, language teachers, students and researchers to search, analyse and visualise patterns in large bodies of text—including frequency lists, concordance lines, collocation analysis and n-gram extraction. The software supports multiple languages and input formats (plain text, PDF, XML) and is popular in computational linguistics and English language learning research. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.

1 suggestionA native Apple Silicon build of AntConc exists and has been confirmed running on real Macs. To switch from the Intel version to the native build, visit the official AntConc download page at antconcv4.weebly.com (or the vendor's main site) and download the latest macOS installer—the page will serve the Universal Binary, which includes both native Apple Silicon and Intel code paths. Once you install the new version, your existing settings, corpora and project files will carry over automatically. The native build will run noticeably faster and consume less battery power on M-series Macs compared to the Rosetta emulation path. If you encounter any issues with the newer build (for example, if you rely on older plugins or scripts), contact the AntConc community via the Google Group (groups.google.com/g/AntConc) or the developer directly—they are actively maintaining the software and can advise on compatibility.
