AI Recommendation
1 suggestionMediBang Paint Pro has not yet been confirmed to have a native Apple Silicon build. The latest available version (28.2 as of the search results) appears to be Intel-only and will continue running under Rosetta 2 for now. However, you should check directly with the MediBang team — visit their official website or support channels to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build is in development or planned before macOS 28 ships in September 2028, since an Intel-only build will stop launching on that release. In the meantime, Clip Studio Paint and Procreate (iPad with Mac compatibility) are actively maintained alternatives with confirmed native Apple Silicon support, should you need a contingency plan. Given that MediBang is actively distributed and updated (version 28.2 and higher releases are available), there is a reasonable chance a native build may yet appear — but clarifying directly with the vendor now will give you certainty before the deadline.
