AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThe search results indicate that Mendeley Desktop has shipped builds marked as "universal" since at least 2020, which suggests native Apple Silicon support may already be available. However, we have not yet confirmed recent activity or a clear native build status from Mendeley's official channels. Contact Elsevier (which acquired Mendeley) directly through mendeley.com to confirm whether your current installation includes native Apple Silicon support, or visit their download page to obtain the latest version. Since you are still more than two years away from the September 2028 macOS 28 deadline when Rosetta 2 is removed, you have time to plan, but it is worth checking now to ensure you have the native version. If you find that an older Intel-only build is still in use, updating to the current release should resolve the issue. For researchers who need an actively maintained alternative with confirmed native Apple Silicon support, Zotero is a free, open-source reference manager with excellent word processor integration and an engaged development community.
