The download page at jalview.org/download/macos/ explicitly lists separate installers for both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs, with clear guidance on which to choose based on your hardware. If you are running an older Intel-only build under Rosetta, download the latest Apple Silicon installer from the official macOS download page — the site will help you identify your Mac's architecture. Alternatively, if you use Homebrew, brew install jalview will pull the appropriate native build for your system. There is no special opt-in or beta channel required; the standard downloads are native builds. Updating will give you better performance and battery life on M-series Macs.
