ArtRage 4
ArtRage is a digital painting application from Ambient Design designed for artists, illustrators and hobbyists. It simulates real-world painting tools including oils, watercolours, pastels and pencils with realistic blending, texture and stroke behaviour. The app is popular for its intuitive interface and natural brush dynamics that mimic traditional media, appealing to concept artists, portrait painters and digital illustrators who want to work with familiar tools in a digital environment.

1 suggestionWe could not find recent information about ArtRage 4's native Apple Silicon support status. To determine whether an updated version with native M-series support is available or planned, contact Ambient Design directly through their website or check your in-app update menu — many vendors have shipped native builds without prominent fanfare. If the vendor confirms there is no native build yet, ask whether one is planned before September 2028, when Apple removes Rosetta 2 and Intel-only applications will stop launching. In the meantime, your copy runs under Rosetta 2, though you will see better performance once a native version becomes available. If Ambient Design indicates they have no plans for native support, you may want to explore alternatives like Procreate (iPad-first but powerful), Clip Studio Paint (available natively on Apple Silicon), or Rebelle (a watercolour simulator also available natively on M-series Macs).
