Sonos

Sonos has explicitly decided not to develop an Apple Silicon-native build of its macOS desktop controller. The app currently runs under Rosetta 2 emulation on M-series Macs, but this will stop working when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028) — less than 28 months away. Sonos community forums and official support indicate the company intends to retire desktop controllers altogether in favour of web-based control. Your best path forward is to transition to the Sonos web app at sonos.com/home, which runs natively in any browser and provides the core control features (playback, zone management, queue, service control). While the web interface may feel slower or less feature-complete than the desktop app, it will continue working indefinitely and requires no software update. If you have music stored on your Mac that you access via Sonos, confirm that your library is accessible through the web app before Rosetta support ends. Alternatively, keep an eye on Sonos announcements in case the company changes course, but based on four years of inaction since Apple Silicon launched in 2020, a native desktop build is unlikely.
