About This App

R is a free, open-source language and environment for statistical computing and graphics. It's widely used by statisticians, data scientists, researchers, and analysts for data manipulation, statistical modeling, visualization, and reproducible research. The R GUI provides an interactive interface for running R commands, though many users also work with R via command-line or IDEs like RStudio. R is fundamental to academic research, industry analytics, and data science workflows across fields from biology to finance to social sciences.</description> <parameter name="recommendation">Good news: R has been updated with full native Apple Silicon support. If you're running R 3.6.3, you should upgrade to the latest version (R 4.6.0 or newer), which includes a native Apple Silicon build (confirmed running on 9 Macs in the community). Simply download and install the latest version from the official R project website — the installer will replace your Intel version with the native Apple Silicon build. This upgrade ensures you'll be ready when Rosetta 2 support ends and gives you better performance and compatibility with modern macOS versions. No alternative app is needed; R remains the best choice for statistical computing on Mac.
